This, my friends, is the latest and greatest 992 Porsche GT3 RS. It's not just inspired by motorsport; it's a full-blown race car that's been tamed just enough for those brave souls who want to experience it on both road and track. Well, relatively speaking, of course. And, as fate would have it, this automotive marvel arrives exactly 50 years after the iconic 2.7 RS kicked off the 911 RS legacy. Talk about serendipity.
