Talos Creates Carbon Fiber Porsche 911 GT3 RS “911 RT”

British tuning company Talos has unveiled the 911 RT, an extensively modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS inspired by the GT3 R race car and built around a lightweight carbon fiber body package.

Limited to just 20 examples, the project combines aggressive aerodynamic redesign, reduced mass and increased naturally aspirated performance.

Carbon fiber bodywork dominates the redesign

The most significant transformation is the body itself.

Talos worked with MCT Carbon, a supplier also involved in carbon components for the Aston Martin Valkyrie, to produce a lightweight composite exterior using extensive carbon fiber construction.

New carbon components include:

• front splitter and bumper
• hood with NACA ducts
• widened front and rear arches
• side skirts
• rear diffuser
• large rear wing
• redesigned intake structures

The car can remain exposed carbon fiber or be fully painted depending on customer preference.

Weight reduction remains central

Talos says the 911 RT weighs approximately:

• 1,350 kg (2,976 lbs)

That makes it:

• around 80 kg lighter than a standard GT3 RS
• though still heavier than the 991-generation Porsche 911 R

The reduction comes largely from the extensive carbon fiber replacement strategy across the exterior structure.

Naturally aspirated power receives an upgrade

Power continues to come from Porsche’s 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six, but Talos has increased output to:

• 540 hp
• 339 lb-ft (460 Nm)

The company also plans to offer an optional turbocharged upgrade package, although full specifications have not yet been released.

Motorsport-inspired suspension setup

To improve handling, the 911 RT uses:

• custom Öhlins TTX coilovers
• GT3 RS-inspired chassis tuning
• race-oriented aerodynamic balance

Talos positions the car as a highly focused driver’s machine rather than a luxury grand tourer.

Hypercar-level pricing

Each 911 RT starts at:

• £850,000 ($1.13 million)

And that price does not include the donor Porsche GT3 RS.

This places the car firmly in ultra-exclusive territory, competing less with conventional tuning projects and more with limited-production hypercars.

Editorial perspective

The Talos 911 RT reflects a larger trend in high-end automotive engineering:

👉 carbon fiber is no longer just a lightweight material—it has become the foundation of ultra-premium vehicle identity.

Projects like this are increasingly defined by:

• low production volume,
• motorsport-inspired aerodynamics,
• composite craftsmanship,
• and exclusivity.

For the composites industry, these builds continue to demonstrate how carbon fiber remains central not only to performance engineering, but also to luxury positioning and collector-level automotive design.
