As the pinnacle 911 model that embodies lightweight design, track-inspired aerodynamics, and optimum performance, the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS stands out as a timeless fan favorite for any passionate owner and enthusiast. On the newest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, Porsche factory driver and brand ambassador Patrick Long brings the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS for Jay’s ultimate test drive.
