Most of the cars without traction control slide off the road when the acceleration pedal is completely jammed. Traction control also keeps the car in track when driving at high speeds. It also ensures there is no wastage of fuel when the engine is faced with such acceleration.

The interiors of the car are not that great as it is a complete sports car which only delivers speed. Everything installed in the car ensures the weight to be the main priority. Porsche have ensured to keep the weight off the hook when it comes to speed and aerodynamics. Most of the body panels are made from carbon fiber which has less weight.

The GT 3 RS has one of the best engines produced by Porsche in use. 415 BHP of power is given by the GT 3 RS which is top end and higher than the previous version. Rear wheel drive setup is given on the car which can make the wheel spin in ease. 6 cylinders ensure you have maximum power in the car. The design and make ensure every bit of power to be used at optimum rate. Mc Pherson struts are used in handling which increase the stability and overall handling of the car. Maintenance wise the Porsche GT 3 RS is bit costly. Most of the parts in the car are not created here so you would have to wait till the original part is delivered. Maintenance for the race car can be costly if you are using it on daily basis. Service centers are available in India which can be used when you need to check the car for any type of damages.

Value of the car
The cost at which the GT 3 RS is available is higher than any other sports car in the same block. You have Lamborghinis and Audi which can deliver the same type of performance. Ventilated disc brakes have high maintenance cost. If you are using carbon ceramic then May God have mercy on your soul as these brakes are very costly, changing or servicing them is even more as special type of setup is required.

Verdict
The RS is a good car but other better options are available. Driving the Porsche on city roads is also difficult as the engine setup is according to race type. A tire spin can be observed, but if you are looking for a car which can be used for Sunday drives then this is the best one in the lot. The power delivery is awesome and one of a kind. Apart from all the fuss the Porsche can be known as a fruit punch instead of alcohol.
