Five Porsche GT cars for the dream garage
RS extremes, a mid-engined interruption and the beginnings of GT3.

How we ranked them
Ranked for a varied editorial garage, balancing distinct generations and technical approaches. This is not a fastest-lap table, and road cars are not presented as equivalent to their racing counterparts.
The order reflects TUNERS’ editorial judgment. Sources below support model facts and development history; they do not endorse the ranking.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992)
The current aero reference
The 992 RS takes first because it brings the most visibly single-minded interpretation of the 911 to this selection. We would use it as the opening chapter in a feature about how the GT idea has changed.
Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991.2)
The turbo contrast
The GT2 RS gives the garage a different engine and development story from the naturally aspirated GT3 line. It ranks second for that contrast, with any later track-kit specification identified separately from the original car.
Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS
The mid-engined interruption
The GT4 RS earns third because a Porsche GT garage should leave room for the Cayman. Its layout and compact coupe identity give the feature a different perspective without abandoning the focused factory brief.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (997.2)
The earlier RS chapter
The 4.0 places fourth as a distinct point in the GT3 RS lineage. We would let its less elaborate shape provide context beside the 992, showing that a focused road car need not express itself in only one visual language.
Porsche 911 GT3 (996)
The starting point
The first GT3 closes the selection because it makes the later cars easier to understand. It would receive a preservation-minded feature, with the original model’s role kept clear instead of borrowing claims from newer GT3 generations.
