The GT3 RS’s Notoriety: Naturally-aspirated, unadulterated, unapologetically raw; the authentic motorsport ballad that escapes through the center located exhaust as the tach’s needle blazes to its 8,800 redline is bone-chillingly beautiful. Never has the driver felt as one when piloting the GT3 RS; it’s almost as if you’re stepping into a superhero suit that’s especially bespoke to your specifications. You almost feel obligated to exceed the limits as It inspires a great deal of confidence (possibly a bit too much). It offers an experience that is nothing short of otherworldly. What it isn’t is a caricature of a „racy-inspired“ motorcar, but rather a road designated race car that boastfully taunts its authentic sporting nature, shamelessly; and you are left with no choice but to love it. Its Exterior’s Finish Significance: In the RS’s debut model year of 2016, Ultraviolet was selectable as a „special exterior color“ choice with a cost of $3,140. It’s a color that is positively polarizing, garners fanfare like no other, and is synonymous with the launch of the 991.1 GT3 RS; an all-new color (that’s widely acclaimed) adhered on an all-new higher-performing GT3 model (that’s a superhero in automotive guise) — absolute perfection. After the 2016 model year, Ultraviolet would no longer be available for the GT3 RS as it was seemingly discontinued.
