The new GT3 Cup S, based on the road-going GT3 RS sportscar, is created exclusively for racing purposes.

To a large extent, the 3.6-litre boxer engine is identical to the power unit used in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup and the international Carrera Cup championships. Power output has increased by 20 horsepower to now 440 hp(324 kW) at 8,000 rpm. Maximum torque is up by ten Nm to 430 at 7,250 rpm. The power increase results from optimised engine electronics and a modified exhaust system.

At the front, the rims measure 10.5 inches in width with 12 inch wheels fitted at the rear. An adjustable front-splitter generates more downforce at the front axle. The rear-wing is wider and positioned higher than the Cup version and provides more downforce at the rear axle.

Several suspension components for the GT3 Cup S have been taken from the more powerful GT3 RSR which races in the GT2 class at international long-distance championships. The braking system of the GT3 Cup S was adjusted to the increased power compared to the GT3 Cup. At the rear the diameter of the brake discs has grown by five mm to 355mm.
