Of course there"s more power. But this is a Porsche RS, so we"re talking incremental here. It wouldn"t do that the standard GT3 matches the 500-odd horsepower output of the old GT3 RS, unless the new car increases the stakes even further. So, Porsche has liberated a few more ponies from the 4.0-litre flat-six for a 520bhp maximum". That"s pretty conservative; Porsche insiders admit it could have homologated a figure more like 530bhp, but the folks there like to be modest. That also means it should be able to produce its quoted 0-62mph time of 3.2 seconds everywhere - whether you"re doing so on a hot desert road in Dubai, or the slip road onto an unrestricted autobahn in the GT3 RS"s motherland.
