Manufacturer Press Release

Porsche GT3 RSR considerably improved
The Porsche GT3 RSR launches into the new model year with extensive
modifications. The most powerful race car based on the Porsche 911, which last
year scored wins at the 24 hour races of Le Mans and Spa as well as overall
victory at the Nuerburgring 24 hours, competes in the GT2 class at international
long distance races. The most distinguishing feature of the new GT3 RSR is the
front end which received major improvements to the aerodynamics. The majority of
innovations however are hidden under the weight-optimised body.
Aside from the easily recognisable additional spoilers on the front apron,
so-called flicks, an optimised air ducting with newly-designed side air outlets
generates more downforce and reduces drag. The rear end including the rear wing
was taken over from the predecessor. Extensive changes to the suspension
cinematics increase mechanical grip considerably. The range of possible
suspension set-ups was broadened.
The 3.8-litre boxer engine of the GT3 RSR remains unchanged apart from slight
improvements to details. It delivers 465 hp (342 kW) at 8,000 revs per minute
and delivers a maximum torque of 430 Nm at 7,250 revs. The rev limiter of the
efficient six-cylinder kicks in at 9,400 rpm.
Much of the know-how in the GT3 RSR's totally new gearbox has come from the RS
Spyder sports prototype. The sequential six-speed unit, developed by Porsche
engineers, is considerably lighter than its predecessor. Internal friction was
substantially reduced. The flat angle of the drive shafts allows teams a wider
range of suspension set-ups.
Aside from the GT3 Cup and the GT3 Cup S, the GT3 RSR is the third race car
based on the Porsche 911 offered by Porsche Motorsport. Thirty-five units of the
fastest and most powerful long distance racer made in Weissach, apart from the
exclusive RS Spyder sports prototype, are now being produced and delivered to
customer teams around the globe. The price of the GT3 RSR is 349,800 Euro plus
VAT.
