Porsche India seems to be on a roll in 2018. The Indian arm of the German marquee delivered the first 2018 911 GT3 with a manual transmission in India about a month ago. Last week, the brand delivered a 911 GT3 to India’s first F1 racer, Narain Karthikeyan.
Now, Porsche has launched the 2018 911 GT3 RS in India, with prices starting at 2.74 crore (ex-showroom, pan India). Bookings for the model are now open in the country ahead of the model’s official debut at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS) next month.
