Uncompromising
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is one of the best versions of one of the best sports cars ever made. It is the expression of Porsche's desire to make a 911 that's as close to racing performance on the road. It is usually a more stripped-out, lighter, tougher, and more powerful 911.
For most, it would already be more than enough; however, some think more can be squeezed out of the 911 model. Talos is one of those who do, and it has dialed the hardcore 911 up to 11.

Talos 911 RT
Talos, a high-end, high-performance British restomod company, has now created the 911 RT. The 911 RT is Talos' definition of what they think the 911 GT3 RS should be. In this case, they took a 992.2 generation GT3 RS and made some tweaks.
Let's first address the aggressive looks. Talos takes inspiration from the track-only 911 R; the 911 RT proudly shows off its exposed carbon fiber body panels. In fact, the whole exterior is nothing but exposed carbon fiber, no livery or stickers here, the only color coming from the gold rims.
This carbon madness isn't just for show; it allows the Talos 911 RT to save 176 lbs. Talos seamlessly integrated the design by 3D scanning the 911 R to accurately create the panels added to the Talos version.
Apart from the carbon fiber and race-car looks, Talos has also added some performance-enhancing pieces to the 911 RT. It features a custom Ohlins TTX Suspension kit, a sophisticated system that Talos says was perfectly wired for the 911 RT, owners can tweak it to strike the right balance between road comfort and track performance, and you can even use a smartphone app to adjust it.
Power has also been bumped up to 540 hp from the standard 500; they didn't mention how they increased power, but said it's designed to now have a natural, progressive feel when it comes to power delivery.

Limited to Just 20 Units
Something as exclusive and special as the Talos 911 RT will, of course, come with the customary customization options, many of which. Talos is offering only 20 units of this car, and each owner will be able to make it truly theirs. No 911 RT is expected to look the same.
Price for the Talos 911 RT starts at $1,149,548 (converted), and that's just for the upgrades. You'll still need to provide the Porsche 911 GT3 RS yourself, so let's say the whole package will set you back around $1.5 Million, a hefty price for a juiced-up 911 GT3 RS.
