A New Take on the Porsche 911 GT3 RS by Talos
British company Talos has unveiled its own vision of the perfect Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Their project, named the 911 RT, is inspired by the 911 GT3 R race car. This is a highly exclusive model, with only 20 such cars planned for production.
Unique Design and Lightweight Materials
The main difference of the 911 RT from standard Porsche models is the body. Talos developed a lightweight carbon fiber body for the car in collaboration with specialists from MCT Carbon, who also manufacture carbon fiber parts for the Aston Martin Valkyrie.
The car is significantly wider than any standard 911. It features a unique front splitter, radiator grille, and modified air intakes. Also new are the hood with NACA aerodynamic ducts and center-lock wheel nuts. The rear wheel arches have become much wider than on the GT3 RS, and at the back, a massive rear wing and a new diffuser are installed. Although the car is shown in exposed carbon fiber in the photos, buyers can order paint.
Lightness and Power
Thanks to the new carbon fiber parts, Talos claims the 911 RT weighs only 1350 kg. This is 80 kg less than the GT3 RS, though still 90 kg more than the previous-generation 911 R.
The heart of the car remains the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, likely from the GT3 RS, but with modifications that increase power to 540 hp and 460 Nm of torque. Talos also plans to offer a turbo upgrade, but its cost is not yet known.
Chassis and Interior
To improve handling, a TTX suspension developed jointly with Ohlins has been installed. Buyers will be able to order custom interior trim with unique materials, colors, and finishes, although the overall interior style is inspired by the GT3 RS.
The price for each 911 RT starts at a staggering £850,000 ($1.13 million), excluding the cost of the donor car.
This project demonstrates how small workshops can create extremely expensive and rare modifications based on already outstanding production cars. The price of over a million dollars, not including the Porsche itself, makes this model not just a tuning package but a true work of art for the most discerning collectors. The collaboration with MCT Carbon, who work on the Aston Martin hypercar, adds weight to the project in the world of high technology and exclusivity. At the same time, the limited run of 20 units guarantees that these cars will become rare exhibits even among other modified Porsches.
