This week on evo – 911 GT3 RS, 488 Spider and more
A look at the most exciting things from the world of evo this week
It’s all about high performance in this week’s roundup of stories. We’ve got probably the best Porsche 911 GT3 RS video you’ll see this year, and less pleasant news about the price of examples hitting the market.

Ferrari 488 Spider debuts

The result is the 488 Spider you see here, its rear deck strikingly reprofiled and touting a top speed 1mph faster than the legendary F50.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS for £295,000
After watching Henry’s video earlier, you might think that the 911 GT3 RS’s current £131,296 price tag is well worth the outlay.
Whether you think the same of the example we found at more than double its list price – albeit available now – is down to how desperate you are to get hold of one…
