Introducing the TALOS Porsche 911 RT: A true race car for the road
Limited to a production run of just 20 units worldwide, the awe-inspiring machine is a true race car for the road. Inspired by the legendary 911 R race car, the RT retains an almost identical visual presence, while careful adaptations engineered by Talos, deliver sublime road driving performance.
Exclusivity and bespoke craftmanship are at the core of the vehicle with every unit being individually commissioned, specified and built to each owner’s specific requirements. The result will be complete exclusivity with every owner playing a direct role in the design of their car.
Jamie Thwaites, manging director at Talos Vehicles and the visionary behind the project, said: “Our philosophy for the 911 RT was very simple; to create a road car that feels like a race car and vice versa, and we’re incredibly proud of the result.
“Every decision has been guided by visual authenticity, mechanical honesty and an uncompromising driving experience. The result is a machine that remains focused, immersive and purposeful in every environment.”
Chassis and dynamics
Engineered and hand crafted in the UK, the Talos 911 RT features a bespoke suspension system exclusively designed in collaboration with performance specialists Öhlins. The digital TTX system has been engineered to achieve the perfect balance between road comfort and sharp handling. Furthermore, drivers can fine tune the electronically adjustable dampers via smartphone control, giving them complete authority of the car’s set up.
Engine and drivetrain
The 911 RT’s engine and powertrain remain faithful to Porsche’s most celebrated formula, retaining the car’s original character with a focus on response, driver engagement and reliability. Power delivery of the c. 540bhp engine has been engineered to feel natural and progressive, allowing drivers to fully exploit the car’s capabilities, without compromise.
Exterior
The design of the Talos 911 RT is unapologetically bold. Using advanced 3D scanning, the race car was digitally captured and redeveloped to integrate seamlessly with the road-going GT3 RS chassis.
Developed in collaboration with leading motorsport specialists, MCT Carbon, extensive exposed carbon fibre body panels dominate the car’s exterior, helping to reduce the vehicle weight by 80kg compared with the Porsche GT3RS. Paired with an aggressive aerodynamics package and centre-locking wheel nuts, there can be no doubt about the car’s intent and purpose.
Final exterior design choices, including paint specification, are completed by Talos following extensive consultation with owners to deliver their unique vision for their vehicle.
Interior
While the 911 RT’s bold exterior reflects its motorsport inspiration, the car’s interior achieves a balance between comfort, focus and more modern road car environment. Embracing Talos’ philosophy of individual hand-crafted creations, materials, colours and finishes are fully designed in consultation with each owner, delivering a vehicle that is bespoke and matches their unique requirements.
“The Talos 911 RT has been engineered and commissioned without compromise,” adds Thwaites. “Not only does the car represent an exclusive design opportunity to owners, its premium finish and our obsessive focus and detail mean the car genuinely delivers the ultimate driving pleasure.
“With every customer playing a key role in shaping the design and performance of their car, the 911 RT is unlike any other. It pushes the boundaries of performance and individuality.
“Following the launch of the TALOS XXT at the end of last year, these really are exciting times for Talos and potential customers who are seeking a driving experience like no other.”
