Pink Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Is It a Yay or a Nay?
What's the first thing that comes to mind when seeing this Porsche 911 GT3 RS? Well, it is probably one of the two: gorgeous or ugly, and we lean on the former.

That may be hard to imagine, given that we usually bash Barbie-like cars. However, we think that this German supercar looks awesome with this bold paint finish (or is that a wrap?). Pink was applied to all body panels, and certain elements have a black look that provides great contrast to this daring machine.

The lower profile features the typical 'GT3 RS' decals, and we can see more pink touches on the Porsche-branded brake calipers. This 911 GT3 RS rides on Y-spoke wheels with a gray paint finish, and center-locking is on deck for a racier look. Judging by the front and rear license plates, this car calls Saudi Arabia home.

Images of this not-so-ordinary Porsche 911 GT3 RS were shared on social media earlier this week by carlifestyle with only a short caption that encourages web surfers to speak their minds about its pink look in the comments area. And to no surprise, everyone who commented had only positive things to say about it. Guess we're not the only ones who can appreciate a fine project.

This would be the part dedicated to other aspects, like the interior, firepower, etc. However, we don't know if this German beast boasts any more upgrades besides the ones mentioned above, as the social media post we embedded at the end of this article does not say anything about it. So, better remind you of the pricing and performance of the latest Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

A brand-new copy would set you back at least $241,300 in the United States of America. That's the model's MSRP in our market. It uses a flat-six naturally aspirated motor with a 4.0-liter displacement that can be revved up to 9,000 rpm. The output is rated at 518 horsepower (525 ps/386 kW), and the maximum thrust is 342 pound-foot (464 Nm).

Porsche says the latest 911 GT3 RS is a 10-second car. It can run the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds, can reach a maximum speed of 184 mph (296 kph), and deals with 0-60 mph (97 kph) in just 3.0 seconds. This model has a gross weight of 3,957 pounds (1,795 kg), a 96.7-inch (2,456 mm) wheelbase, and measures 180 inches (4,572 mm) from bumper to bumper.

Porsche is currently working on a facelift for the 911 GT3 RS, and some believe it might go down the hybrid route for improved performance and lower carbon dioxide emissions. Rumors say it might be due in 2026, perhaps bringing its visual and technical enhancements to America for the 2027 model year.
