for Wrap Weekends #12, we feature a stunner of a BMW M1! fitted with the iconic Procar kit, BBS centerlocks, and Toyo Proxes, it's wide and mean.
this is based on a relatively obscure livery that only the best of M1 aficionados might recognize - the Speed Star Wheels car that raced in the '80s Japanese Group 4. this car is not known by many, flying off the radar in the late 20th century and only having been restored in 2012 by Bowden's Own Australia.
this may have flown off the radar IRL, but it certainly makes a mark in Lakeshore.

The new 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the most hardcore, track-focused 911 model yet. As the pinnacle of Porsche's GT lineup, the GT3 RS pushes the limits of performance with its high-revving naturally aspirated engine, lightened body, and race-ready chassis.
This guide will provide a comprehensive overview of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS specs, design, performance, pricing, and comparisons to other Porsche models. We'll help you understand if the latest GT3 RS is the right supercar for you.
Highlights of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS builds upon the standard GT3 model with further weight savings, aerodynamic enhancements, and chassis tweaks. Here are some of the highlights:
Rear-engine naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-6 engine - Produces 502 horsepower, paired with a 7-speed PDK transmission. Redline increased to 9000 rpm.
Lightweight construction - Extensive use of carbon fiber and lightweight materials cuts curb weight to just 3,366 lbs.
Race-tuned suspension and aero - New swan-neck rear wing, front splitter and diffuser for maximum downforce. Bespoke coilover suspension tuned for track use.
Carbon ceramic brakes - Massive 16.1” front and 15.4” rear carbon ceramic rotors with 6-piston front, 4-piston rear calipers.
Functional exterior design - Aggressive new styling focused on optimizing airflow and downforce. Dominated by intake and exit vents.
MSRP starting at $223,500 - Most expensive 911 model by a significant margin. Limited production run slated.
With these enhancements, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the best performing and most capable GT3 variant ever produced. It provides an uncompromising driving experience on both road and track.
Detailed 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Specs
Porsche imbued the latest 911 GT3 RS with racing technology and know-how from its successful GT racing program. The result is a street-legal supercar that can hold its own at any racetrack.
Powertrain and Performance Specs
The heart of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is its naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-6 engine, based on the GT3's motor but taken to new heights:
Engine Type: 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-6
Horsepower: 502 hp @ 8,400 rpm
Torque: 346 lb-ft @ 6,250 rpm
Redline: 9,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.2 seconds (est.)
Top Speed: 193 mph
Transmission: 7-speed PDK dual-clutch
Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive
Curb Weight: 3,366 lbs
This high-revving powerplant enables the GT3 RS to reach a staggering 9,000 rpm redline - unheard of for a street-legal car. It delivers an intoxicating sound unmatched by turbocharged engines.
The sprint to 60 mph takes just 3.2 seconds thanks to the PDK transmission's instant shifts. Clearing the quarter mile takes under 11 seconds - supercar acceleration.
But it's the GT3 RS's top end performance that truly impresses. Horsepower peaks at a lofty 8,400 rpm before hitting the 9,000 rpm limiter. This allows it to hit a top speed of 193 mph.
Chassis, Suspension and Brake Specs
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS's capabilities come alive in the corners thanks to its specially developed chassis and suspension components:
Front Suspension: MacPherson struts w/ helper springs
Rear Suspension: Multi-link with adjustable helper springs
Adaptive Dampers: Electronically adjustable coilovers
Ride Height: Lowers 1.2 inches versus GT3
Wheels: 20"/21" Centerlock forged alloys
Tires: 265/35 ZR20 front, 325/30 ZR21 rear Michelin Cup 2 R tires
Steering: Variable-ratio electric power steering
Brakes: 16.1” front, 15.4” rear carbon ceramic rotors, 6-piston (front) and 4-piston (rear) calipers
The suspension uses stiffer springs and specially tuned adaptive dampers designed for track use. Ride height is lowered for a more planted stance.
Massive carbon ceramic brakes provide incredible stopping power from high speeds. These brakes are also exceptionally fade-resistant during repeated hard use
on track.
For ultimate grip and control, the GT3 RS rides on track-focused Michelin Cup 2 R tires measuring 265 and 325 mm front/rear. The tall 21” rear tires enable later braking and higher cornering speeds.
This chassis can tackle the most demanding racetracks while still being docile enough for daily driving use. It's a prime example of Porsche's engineering prowess.
Exterior Dimensions and Aerodynamics
The 2023 911 GT3 RS stretches the boundaries of function-over-form design. Aggressive aero bits reduce lift and increase downforce for ultimate track performance:
Length: 179.7 inches
Width: 72.9 inches
Height: 49.9 inches
Wheelbase: 96.7 inches
Front Track Width: 65.2 inches
Rear Track Width: 62.4 inches
Drag Coefficient: 0.34
Frontal Area: 22.0 sq ft
Downforce (at 124 mph): 882 pounds
Notable aero elements include a manually adjustable swan-neck rear wing, front splitter flicks, redesigned underbody diffuser, and louvers over the front fenders. These generate over 800 pounds of downforce for incredible cornering grip.
Openings in the rear fenders channel air for engine and brake cooling. Vents behind each front wheel help reduce turbulent air in the wheel wells.
Despite all these racing elements, the GT3 RS retains a coefficient of drag of just 0.34 - quite slippery for a track car. Poor aerodynamics hamper many rivals' top speed capabilities.
Interior, Cargo and Driver Amenities
The GT3 RS's interior leaves out luxury frills to save weight, but retains Porsche's exceptional build quality:
Seats: Carbon-backed buckets with Alcantara
Cargo Volume: 4.9 cubic feet front, 9.0 cubic feet rear
Infotainment: Porsche Communication Management with Apple CarPlay
Audio: 10-speaker 500-watt Bose surround sound system
Navigation: Standard
Connectivity: Onboard WiFi and wireless phone charging
Safety: Automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist
Lightweight carbon fiber and Alcantara trim shave precious pounds versus leather and sound insulation. The RS weighs 110 lbs less than a comparably equipped GT3 for a significant performance advantage.
Cargo space is quite usable for a two-seater sports car thanks to the front and rear cargo areas. Drivers will appreciate the standard Apple CarPlay and navigation system during longer drives. The audio system provides crisp sound that won't overwhelm the engine's symphony.
Modern safety tech including automatic emergency braking provides peace of mind and potential insurance savings.
Design of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
The 911 GT3 RS stretches Porsche's signature sports car design language to its extreme limits. An overarching focus on optimizing airflow shapes the aggressive aesthetic:
Exterior Styling
Low, sloped "fastback" roofline
Pronounced front and rear spoilers
Enlarged intakes behind rear quarter window
Extended rear diffuser
Rear wing with swan neck mounts
Louvers ahead of rear wheels
Centerlock wheels with aero covers
Quad exhaust pipes positioned centrally
The RS does away with any non-functional styling elements to reduce drag and increase downforce. A gaping front air intake and splitter feed the radiators. The manually adjustable swan neck wing can increase downforce for high-speed cornering.
Other racing elements like the centrally-mounted exhaust, rear diffuser, and fender louvers signal this 911 variant means serious business. The GT3 RS announces its presence visually before its deafening engine note leaves no doubts.
Interior Layout
Inside, the GT3 RS remains recognizably 911 but with a spartan focus:
Sport bucket seats with exposed carbon backs
Alcantara trim on seats, steering wheel, and dash
Minimal padded surfaces
Carbon composite construction
Analog tachometer and gauges
Porsche GT Sport steering wheel
Race-inspired gear shifter
The interior uses thin padding and significant exposed carbon fiber
to pare back weight. Analog gauges and a prominent 9,000 rpm tachometer promise an intense driving experience.
Overall, the cabin provides a distinctly track-oriented vibe consistent with the GT3 RS's capabilities. It's a driver-focused space geared for setting fast laps.
Unique Exterior Color Choices
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS gives owners a choice of exclusive colors not found on regular 911 models:

Powertrain and Performance Specs
The heart of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is its naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-6 engine, based on the GT3's motor but taken to new heights:
Engine Type: 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-6
Horsepower: 502 hp @ 8,400 rpm
Torque: 346 lb-ft @ 6,250 rpm
Redline: 9,000 rpm
0-60 mph: 3.2 seconds (est.)
Top Speed: 193 mph
Transmission: 7-speed PDK dual-clutch
Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive
Curb Weight: 3,366 lbs
This high-revving powerplant enables the GT3 RS to reach a staggering 9,000 rpm redline - unheard of for a street-legal car. It delivers an intoxicating sound unmatched by turbocharged engines.
The sprint to 60 mph takes just 3.2 seconds thanks to the PDK transmission's instant shifts. Clearing the quarter mile takes under 11 seconds - supercar acceleration.
But it's the GT3 RS's top end performance that truly impresses. Horsepower peaks at a lofty 8,400 rpm before hitting the 9,000 rpm limiter. This allows it to hit a top speed of 193 mph.
Chassis, Suspension and Brake Specs
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS's capabilities come alive in the corners thanks to its specially developed chassis and suspension components:
Front Suspension: MacPherson struts w/ helper springs
Rear Suspension: Multi-link with adjustable helper springs
Adaptive Dampers: Electronically adjustable coilovers
Ride Height: Lowers 1.2 inches versus GT3
Wheels: 20"/21" Centerlock forged alloys
Tires: 265/35 ZR20 front, 325/30 ZR21 rear Michelin Cup 2 R tires
Steering: Variable-ratio electric power steering
Brakes: 16.1” front, 15.4” rear carbon ceramic rotors, 6-piston (front) and 4-piston (rear) calipers
The suspension uses stiffer springs and specially tuned adaptive dampers designed for track use. Ride height is lowered for a more planted stance.
Massive carbon ceramic brakes provide incredible stopping power from high speeds. These brakes are also exceptionally fade-resistant during repeated hard use

Height: 49.9 inches
Wheelbase: 96.7 inches
Front Track Width: 65.2 inches
Rear Track Width: 62.4 inches
Drag Coefficient: 0.34
Frontal Area: 22.0 sq ft
Downforce (at 124 mph): 882 pounds
Notable aero elements include a manually adjustable swan-neck rear wing, front splitter flicks, redesigned underbody diffuser, and louvers over the front fenders. These generate over 800 pounds of downforce for incredible cornering grip.
Openings in the rear fenders channel air for engine and brake cooling. Vents behind each front wheel help reduce turbulent air in the wheel wells.
Despite all these racing elements, the GT3 RS retains a coefficient of drag of just 0.34 - quite slippery for a track car. Poor aerodynamics hamper many rivals' top speed capabilities.
Interior, Cargo and Driver Amenities
