Every new generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS seems to push the boundaries of what is considered outrageous, with aerodynamic packages that rival those of race cars. The current 992-gen GT3 RS is no exception, featuring wild fender cut-outs, roof fins, a deep diffuser, large hood intakes, and a massive rear wing with F1-style DRS. However, not everyone is a fan of this massive wing, as evidenced by a brand new GT3 RS that was spotted without it.
The GT3 RS without the rear wing was seen parked in a neighborhood, and despite its grey body (which appears to be a wrap), it immediately stood out. While removing the wing from previous versions of the 911, such as the 991-gen GT2 RS, may have been a simpler task as they were fixed with no active elements, the new RS’ wing supports are mounted to the engine cover. This particular car had plastic inserts covering the holes where the wing used to be, giving it a clean and OEM look without the need for any bodywork changes.
Although the wing-less GT3 RS may look striking, there are concerns about its aerodynamic balance. While it may be suitable for daily driving and canyon runs, removing the wing could potentially impact its performance on the track. Porsche likely does not recommend removing the wing, especially for those who plan to push the car to its limits in a track setting.
Despite the potential aerodynamic implications, some may find the wing-less GT3 RS to be a refreshing change. The car still retains other aerodynamic features such as the roof fins and a ducktail spoiler on the decklid, which continue to enhance its aggressive appearance.
Ultimately, the decision to remove the rear wing from a Porsche 911 GT3 RS comes down to personal preference. While some may view it as sacrilegious to alter the design of such a performance-focused machine, others may appreciate the sleek and unconventional look of a wing-less GT3 RS. What do you think, dear readers? Is the wing-less GT3 RS a bold statement or a misstep in the pursuit of performance?
