So much emotion and adrenalin! Since the last couple of days, there is a new Porsche 911 GT3 RS in our showroom.
The new 911 GT3 RS sports car breaks boundaries – For that to be possible, nothing less than intense power is required. Plus a tremendous amount of propulsion: the 4.0-liter flat-six engine delivers 368 kW (500 hp) and a torque of 460 Nm (338 lb-ft). With a maximum speed of 8,800 rpm, it pushes to the extreme – and yet never feels the strain.
Equipped with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) as standard, this thoroughbred athlete blazes through the 0-60 mph mark after merely 3.3 seconds – that’s 0.7 seconds faster than its predecessor. Nevertheless, the new 911 GT3 RS is also capable of slowing the pace down: the PIT SPEED button on the center console activates a speed limiter, cooling the car’s temperament at a single stroke.
Engine power is converted into propulsive force by 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), fitted as standard. Seventh gear is optimized for performance, and gear ratios are tuned for racetrack driving.
The chassis has been engineered for maximum performance. Dynamic engine mounts and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with sport tuning are all included in the standard specification.
The body of the new 911 GT3 RS has been fleshed out. By comparison with the predecessor model, it is around 1 inch broader at the rear and even 3 inches broader at the front. With its wider track, a 4 inches longer wheelbase and with rear axle steering fitted as standard, the new 911 GT3 RS represents a new dimension in driving and roll stability and promises even better agility and driving performance.
This performance capability is underpinned by wider wheels and tires as well as by the enlarged wheel diameter of 21 inches on the rear axle.
Despite the extra girth, the 911 GT3 RS is strict on weight. To increase its chances of victory and further reduce fuel consumption, many of its components are made from carbon and light alloys, such as magnesium or aluminium.
