Check Out the Updated 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
The updated 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS has leaked online through three rather low-resolution images.
For 2018, the GT3 RS has received the same cosmetic modifications as the standard GT3, which include redesigned front air intakes and different LED daytime running lights. There’s also a revised rear fascia and the NACA duct hood from the GT2 RS. Apart from these subtle changes, the GT3 RS looks mostly the same as the outgoing model, sporting the same wheels, body side decals, side air intakes and large rear wing as before.

Porsche has also fiddled with the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat six engine, which is now making an extra 20 hp for a maximum output of 520 hp at 8,250 RPM. The same seven-speed PDK transmission is also on the cards. The sprint from 0-60 will happen in just 3.2s and the top speed should sit around 192 mph.
This is just a leak, so stay tuned for official information and images on the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS prior to its debut.

520/4=130 hp/litre. 458 Speciale 597/4.5=132.6 which is I think the most hp/litre NA car. Both are staggering achievements.
