Porsche has announced the new 911 GT3 RS in India. The car which is loaded motorsport technology and at the same time works perfectly as daily driver was unveiled at the Porsche Centre in Bengaluru.
The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS has lapped the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 20 seconds beating the lap record set by the Carrera GT supercar by 9 seconds. This is achieved the four litre six cylinder engine that develops 500 horsepower and 480 Nm of maximum torque. This engine has the largest displacement and most power of any naturally aspirated engine with direct fuel injection in the 911 model range. The Porsche 911 GT3 RS does the 0 to 100 kph dash in just 3.3 seconds, and to 200 kph in 10.9 seconds. The car features a specially developed PDK gearbox that comes with functions such declutching by “paddle neutral”, which is comparable to pressing the clutch with a conventional manual gearbox and speed limiting by the Pit Speed button have been customised for motorsport use.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS features a light weight design. The roof is made from magnesium for the first time, carbon fibre is used for the engine and luggage compartment lids, and other lightweight components are made of alternative materials. This weight saving exercise makes the GT3 Rs around ten kilograms lighter than the 911 GT3. The body of the car is taken off the 911 Turbo. The front spoiler lip extends close to the road, and the large rear wing reinforces its dominant look. A 30 centimetre wide recess extends centrally over the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CRFP) bonnet and the magnesium roof. The front wheel arch air vents extend into the upper section of the fenders just as in purebred motorsport cars, and they increase downforce at the front axle.
The chassis of the 911 GT3 RS has been tuned for maximum driving dynamics and precision. Rear-axle steering and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus with fully variable rear axle differential lock increase agility and dynamics, and the wider front and rear track widths enable even better roll stability than in the 911 GT3. In addition, the 911 GT3 RS comes with the widest tyres of any 911 model as standard, resulting even more agile turn-in characteristics and even higher cornering speeds.
The interiors feature Alcantara elements based on the current 911 GT3. The full buckets seats are based on the carbon buckets seats of the 918 Spyder. Other standard features are the Club Sport Package with a bolted-on roll cage behind the front seats, preparation for a battery master switch, and separately provided six-point safety harness for the driver and fire extinguisher with mounting bracket. The standard Sport Chrono Package features integrated timers and the Porsche Track Precision app for a smartphone. The Track Precision app can be used to automatically measure lap times via GPS, and to log data on a smartphone for a range of driving parameters such as vehicle speed, lateral acceleration as well as acceleration and deceleration in the driving direction. It manages this data and lets the driver share and compare it with other drivers.
