History
The GT3 RS is distinguished by its performance capability and the
unadulterated driving experience enjoyed with a racing car, but
also meets all requirements for road-legal sports cars.
The exceptionally meaty engine boasts a displacement of 3.6 liters
to generate 305 kW (415 bhp) at 7,600 rpm. Maximum revs are reached
at 8,400 rpm. The power output per liter of engine capacity is
115.3 bhp. These figures correspond to the present GT3. But the RS
puts in an even better performance. Thanks to a close-ratio
six-speed transmission with a single-mass flywheel and the 20 kg
lower vehicle weight, the engine revs up even more freely, thus
enabling the 911 GT3 RS to sprint from zero to 60 mph per hour in
4.2 seconds. That's one tenth of a second faster than the GT3. It
takes just 13.3 seconds to hit to 200 km per hour (124 mph).
Maximum speed is 310 km per hour (192.7 mph).
The reference "RS" will quicken the pulse of Porsche connoisseurs.
Models such as the legendary Carrera RS 2.7 of 1972 and the type
964 911 RS (1991) were also sports cars that stood out on account
of an extreme degree of maneuverability and handling. That
tradition is continued with the 2007 911 GT3 RS. In common with its
predecessors, it provides a basic and pre-approval model for use in
a range of racing series.
One characteristic of the new "RS" is the body, which is 44 mm
wider at the rear (a legacy from the Carrera 4 models) by
comparison with the 911 GT3. The muscular-looking rear end conceals
a wider track that not only improves directional stability but also
increases the transverse acceleration potential of this two-seater
coupe.
Despite its specialized body, the "RS" is 20 kg lighter than the
GT3, weighing in at just 1375 kg (3031 lbs). This weight-saving was
achieved by the use, amongst other solutions, of an adjustable
carbon fiber wing, the use of a plastic rear lid and a lightweight
plastic rear window. The corresponding weight-saving is 4.5
kg/kW.
