British tuner Talos revealed an ultra-exclusive Porsche 911 RT inspired by the GT3 R race car, with just 20 examples planned.
Porsche enthusiasts have never been short on aftermarket options, but Talos is aiming far beyond the usual tuning crowd. The small UK-based company has unveiled what it calls the most extreme interpretation yet of the 911 GT3 RS, heavily influenced by the track-focused 911 GT3 R race car. Named the 2026 Porsche 911 RT, the project is strictly limited to 20 units, making it more of a collector’s item than a conventional restomod.
The biggest departure from any factory-built 911 is the bodywork. Talos developed a lightweight carbon-fiber package in collaboration with MCT Carbon — the same company that produces composite components for the Aston Martin Valkyrie. The RT features a much wider stance, along with a custom front splitter, redesigned grille, and revised air intakes. A new hood with NACA ducts improves airflow, while center-lock wheels emphasize the car’s motorsport roots.
At the rear, the widened fenders are paired with a towering fixed wing and a new diffuser package. The launch car showcases exposed carbon fiber, although buyers will be able to order painted body panels if preferred.
According to Talos, the extensive use of lightweight materials cuts curb weight to 2,976 pounds, roughly 176 pounds lighter than a standard Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Even so, it still weighs about 198 pounds more than the previous-generation 911 R from the 991 era.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine, believed to be based on the GT3 RS unit, now upgraded to 540 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Talos also confirmed that a turbocharged version is planned, although pricing details for that model have not yet been announced.
The chassis rides on custom TTX coilovers developed with Öhlins, while the interior can be extensively personalized with bespoke materials, colors, and trim combinations. Despite the customization options, Talos says the cabin still maintains the minimalist, driver-focused character of the GT3 RS.
Pricing starts at approximately $1.13 million — and that figure does not include the donor Porsche 911 required for the build.
