Porsche: Strong performance of the 911 GT3 RS 🎥
RACE SPORT GENE The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is uncompromisingly designed for maximum performance. To achieve this, the 525 hp road-going sports car makes consistent use of the technology and principles of motorsport.
In addition to the torquey naturally aspirated engine with racing genes and the lightweight architecture, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS demonstrates its direct kinship with its motorsport brother, the 911 GT3 R, above all with its cooling and aerodynamic concept.
The basis for the significant increase in performance is the center radiator concept, which was first used in the Le Mans class-winning 911 RSR and subsequently in the 911 GT3 R. Instead of the previous layout with three radiators, the new 911 GT3 RS now relies on a large, angled center radiator in the front of the car.
Drag Reduction System for the first time
This made it possible to use the freed-up space at the sides to integrate active aerodynamic elements. Infinitely adjustable wings at the front and on the two-part rear spoiler, in combination with a large number of other aerodynamic measures, provide 409 kilograms of total downforce at 200 km/h. This generates three times as much downforce as a current 911 GT3. This means that the new GT3 RS generates three times as much downforce as a current 911 GT3.
For the first time, a drag reduction system (DRS) has been installed in a production Porsche. For the benefit of low drag and a higher maximum speed on straight sections of the track, the wings can be flattened at the push of a button within a defined operating range.
Increased downforce on the front axle
Since the wheel arch of the new 911 GT3 RS is subject to strong airflow, the components of the double wishbone front axle are designed as drop profiles. These aero links increase downforce on the front axle by around 40 kilograms at top speed and are otherwise only used in high-class motorsport.
The 911 GT3 RS offers three driving modes: Normal, Sport and Track. In Track mode, the compression and rebound damping of the front and rear axles can be adjusted separately and in several stages. The rear-axle cross-lock can also be adjusted via rotary controls on the steering wheel.
Four-liter naturally aspirated engine further optimized
The power increase to 525 hp is achieved primarily via new camshafts. The single-throttle intake system and the rigid valve train are derived from motorsport.
The 911 GT3 RS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 296 km/h.
The price starts at 278,500 francs.
