Porsche 911 GT3 RS could be delayed

Company wants to make sure the standard model is safe first

Porsche CEO Matthias Müller has revealed the launch of the 911 GT3 RS could be delayed as a result of the fire related recall of the standard model.

Speaking to Auto Motor und Sport, Müller said the planned summer launch could be pushed back to a later date. Nothing has been set in stone but the executive wants to make sure the "motor [is] no longer a problem."

As we have previously reported, Porsche will be replacing the engines on all 2014 911 GT3sas a result of two high-profile fires. The company says the engines can be damaged by loose screws on the connecting rod which can cause a leak and result in a fire.
