===Performance===

|-|v3.1=
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a highly nitro-focused car, like all of the Porsche cars introduced during the Porsche Update. It has the largest nitro stat in all of Class A. However, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS gains more speed from raw top speed upgrades rather than nitro upgrades and has a lower upgrade rank weighting on its raw top speed as well, making it highly favorable to upgrade raw top speed alone for better performance in Multiplayer.
At MAX + PRO, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS closely rivals the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Ferrari LaFerrari, Lamborghini Asterion, Zenvo ST1, and McLaren P1™. The Porsche 911 GT3 RS lacks partially in total top speed, due to having a large nitro. On the other hand, it does have superb acceleration due to its large nitro, as well as excellent handling and drifting, making it nimbler than its competitors. Compared to the McLaren P1, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS' handling and drifting are much more responsive and occur nearly instantly, as opposed to having a short delay between activation and response. However, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS only has a nitro efficiency of 7/12/15, which is good, but not as good as the 5/10/15 of the McLaren P1 (and Lamborghini Asterion).
===Usage===
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS awards 2 Champion Kit Boxes (60 cards in total) in Car Mastery Challenge 5 (required rank 1416), making it the first car in the game to award multiple Pro kit boxes in Car Mastery instead of just one. This is the Porsche 911 GT3 RS's best use to date.
In TLEs, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS can compete well in the mid-end Class A bracket, which includes the following cars: Lucra L148, Ferrari FF, Jaguar C-X75, Ferrari LaFerrari, Lamborghini Asterion, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, McLaren P1, and Mazzanti Evantra. In this bracket, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS competes as the tied second-best car, alongside the McLaren P1. However, the Lamborghini Asterion is superior to both cars. Also, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is significantly more expensive to upgrade than the McLaren P1, so it's generally easier to use the McLaren P1 instead of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is also featured in a higher-tier bracket which includes the following cars: RUF RT 12 S, Ferrari FF, Lamborghini Asterion, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Mazzanti Evantra, Savage Rivale GTR, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, and Sbarro Alcador. The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is much less effective in this bracket.
In Multiplayer, these tunes are decent, to some extent, but aren't extremely competitive:
* MAX 0505 + PRO 5555 - 279.5 mph (450.1 km/h) with a raw top speed of 226.3 mph (364.4 km/h) @1625
* MAX 0504 + PRO 5050 - 266.2 mph (428.7 km/h) with a raw top speed of 226.3 mph (364.4 km/h) @1535
* MAX 0500 + PRO 5050 - 254.2 mph (409.4 km/h) with a raw top speed of 226.3 mph (364.4 km/h) @1484
