Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Nov 09

The new 911 GT3 RS is the last development of the Porsche 911 for road use before moving on to genuine racing cars for circuit events. Offering even more power, lower weight, shorter transmission ratios as well as body and suspension elements upgraded to an even higher standard, the new 911 GT3 RS has been developed as the homologation model for the racing version of the 911 GT3 and therefore has everything it takes for further success on the race tack.

Its 3.8-litre six-cylinder horizontally-opposed power unit delivering 331kW, and accelerates from 0 - 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, on to a top speed of 310 km/h (192 mph).

At very first sight the new 911 GT3 RS clearly demonstrates its close connection with motorsport. This is borne out in particular by the car's low suspension, central bolts on the wheels, the new, large rear wing made of carbon-fibre and with aluminium supports on each side, the purpose built front and rear sections as well as the dual tail pipe in the middle made of top quality titanium on the new 911 GT3 RS, just like the entire rear muffler.

The power unit of the 911 GT3 RS is based on the proven components already featured in the current 911 GT3 - including the increase in engine capacity over the former model from 3.6 to 3.8 litres. A Sports Button provides the driver with a 35Nm power boost on demand.
