The Porsche 911 GT3 It is a great sports car. He is perfect. He’s out. There is nothing left to improve. the new Porsche So the 911 GT3 RS has a different purpose than the “regular” GT3. It has front and rear license plates, but it feels like you’re right at home on the track. It’s just a lot on the way…
More than ever, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS demonstrates its racing aspirations, including elements from the Le Mans title-winning 911 RSR. Let’s move on to the modifications that Porsche made one by one, starting with the central radiator. The previous 911 GT3 RS used three radiators to cool the powertrain. New only. It is located in the luggage compartment in the front, so there is no room for shifting. According to Porsche, there is room for many active aerodynamic elements, such as the continuously adjustable wings in the nose.
The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS with twice the downforce
The Porsche 992 GT3 RS generates twice the downforce than its predecessor, the 991.2 GT3 RS, and even three times the downforce of the 992 GT3. At 200 km/h, the latest 911 experiences a downward pressure of 409 kgf. If you dare to drive at a speed of 285 km / h, then you and the car will be crushed against the asphalt by at least 860 kg. Incidentally, this GT3 RS is the first with a Drag Reduction System (DRS). All active aerodynamic elements can be leveled at the touch of a button to reduce air resistance.
Giant roof spoiler for the first time
When you see the 992 GT3 RS, you won’t miss the giant rear spoiler. It is higher than the ceiling for the first time and consists of a fixed main wing and a hydraulically adjustable wing element above it. When braking hard, it kicks off to create as much “pull” as possible. Active panels are also involved in the foreground. The air intakes in front of the rear wheels, like the 911 turbo, are not there to draw in the engine’s cooling air. They are only for aerodynamics.
Only available with PDK transmission for the fastest shift times
It’s amazing how far Porsche has gone in improving the 911 GT3 RS. For example, the wishbones in the front suspension are designed drop-shaped for more downforce. Naturally, the RS is built as lightly as possible, particularly through the use of carbon fiber and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. The result is a weight of 1450 kg. This is slightly heavier than the GT3, which weighs 1,435 kilograms with the PDK transmission. The GT3 is also available with a manual transmission, but the GT3 RS is not. According to Porsche, only the fastest shift times are circuit-dependent. So you must have the PDK.
In Track mode you can set almost everything individually
The 911 GT3 RS features three driving modes: Normal, Sport and Track. In the latter mode, the car’s basic settings can be adjusted individually, including the compression and rebound damping of the front and rear axles, how tight the traction control and electronic stability control system are, and what the rear differential does. Porsche also has steel brake discs as standard, but for track use it is best to order the optional ceramic brakes. The above seven-speed PDK gearbox can withstand heavy use. It gets its own cooling air through the air intakes at the bottom of the GT3 RS.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS faster to 100 km/h, lower top speed
Then the engine that originated from the 911 GT3. It’s a 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with 525 hp (15 more than the GT3). The 100 km/h sprint makes the GT3 RS a little faster (3.2 vs. 3.4 seconds), but when it comes to top speed, the GT3 wins (318 vs. 296 km/h). If you’re planning on doing track days in a GT3 RS, you can check out the Clubsport package at no extra cost, which includes a roll bar, a fire extinguisher, and a race kit. If you opt for the Weissach package, you get a lighter roll cage and lighter wheels, which save kilos on the car’s weight.
