Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the purest driving machine in the fleet. Its 4.0 litre naturally aspirated flat-six revs all the way to 9000 rpm and sends 518 horsepower to the rear wheels through a seven-speed PDK gearbox. There are no turbochargers softening the response and no all-wheel drive masking the inputs. It reaches 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and runs on to 296 km/h, but the numbers are not the point. This is a car built around feel, sound and precision.

What sets the GT3 RS apart is the aerodynamics. The huge swan-neck rear wing and the active DRS system generate real downforce, the kind that pins the car flat through fast corners. That makes it a very different proposition from the grand tourers in the fleet. It rewards a confident driver who wants to feel every detail of the road, which is why we ask for a minimum age of 25. An early morning run down Sheikh Zayed Road or out toward Hatta is where this car comes alive, before the heat and the traffic build.

Renting the GT3 RS suits the enthusiast who wants the experience without the ownership and the depreciation that follows a limited build like this. It is the car to drive for a weekend along the coast through Dubai Marina and JBR, or to arrive in at a track day or a private event in DIFC and Business Bay. The cabin is stripped back and serious, with full bucket seats and a roll cage, so pack light and bring a sense of occasion. We deliver it to your door, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
