The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 'Tribute to Carrera RS' Is Exactly What the Name Suggests
The 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 'Tribute to Carrera RS' Is Exactly What the Name Suggests-February 2024

While this is unlikely to come as a surprise to most of you, is no great beauty. It’s a wild, violent, that doesn’t really care about style. Except now Porsche has gone and put one of the all-time best color combinations on the new GT3 RS to celebrate , and the results are surprisingly great.

The inelegantly named “Tribute to Carrera RS Package” was announced on Friday, and in addition to the lovely white with Python Green stripes and wheels, it’s also got a few more special touches that should get the hearts of any real Porsche racing nerd. Starting with the optional Weissach Package, which nets you tons of carbon fiber aero features and magnesium wheels, the Tribute to Carrera RS Package gets you get Python Green mirror caps and decals, plus classic RS logos on the end plates for the giant rear wing.

Inside there are special “Tribute to Carrera RS” sill plates, the RS logo is embossed into the center console lid, and you get white-painted keys. But the special stuff doesn’t stop there. With each vehicle, Porsche will include a unique Porsche Design watch, along with a custom car cover, special license plate frames and a pair of 1:43 scale model cars — one of the classic Carrera RS, and the other of this new car. Finally, Porsche is including an NFT with the car because some people () presumably still care about those.

If you want a GT3 RS with the Tribute to Carrera RS Package, you better already have a GT3 RS allocation with your dealership; otherwise, you’re out of luck, friend. For those of you who do, the GT3 RS Tribute to Carrera RS will retail for the rather robust sum of $314,000, including a $1,450 destination fee.

Lotsa green accents for the nerds

Are green decals and wheels, etc., worth an additional $50,500 over the price of a regular GT3 RS with the Weissach Package? From a lap-time standpoint, probably not. But Porsche is the best in the business at incorporating its heritage into new special editions, and we’re certain the company will have no trouble finding a home for every one of these cars.

Today's Mazda represents the company's first melding of rotary engine and wagon body style. You'll need to decide if that has any effect on your concluding whether or not its price is the last thing you'd pay. Wow, talk about close - go ahead, I'll wait. Are you done? Okay,...

For $5,000, Why Make The Dead Walk?
Do you ever think that the reason the Walking Dead are always so hungry because they're worn out form all the damn walking? Today's Pontiac hearse could be like public transit for the passed-on, but will its price make you give it a pass? Just like with vampires and the...

Dinan S3-R BMW 1M: The Jalopnik Review
My best guess is that Dinan is actually part of some radical environmental group dedicated to eliminating all private car ownership. That's the only reason I can think of to explain why they keep making these amazing machines designed to remove your legal ability to drive, like this 1M. I...

The 2014 Oldsmobile Cutlass Is Better Than Ever
The first thing you notice about this new 2014 Oldsmobile Cutlass S, complete with its six-speed manual, is the lettering. It's huge. Actually, everything with letters or numbers in this Olds is huge. The 'enter' button on the infotainment panel, the pages displayed on the LCD display, the speedo. The...

They say you never really know what you have until it's gone. Today's Honda is a model that was once common but is now all but gone. Will its price also be a real gone deal? Do you think when she eventually passes away - an event which will hopeful...

If Ferdinand Piëch hadn't set his engineers on a course for 1,000 horsepower and 250 mph (Hello? Bugatti Veyron?), sports-car science projects like the might not exist today. But he did, and it does. What's the 918 like to drive? Let's find out. ( Porsche wanted us to drive the...
