The new Porsche 911 GT RS is powered by a 450 hp, 3.8-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine. The high-revving unit reaches a specific output of over 118 hp per litre. Developed in the motorsport department at Weissach, the 911 GT3 RS is fitted with a particularly short transmission ratio for racing purposes as a standard feature. The dynamic engine mounts featured as standard contribute to improved driving dynamics. Depending on the driving situation, the mounts change in their stiffness and damping effect, improving the connection between the engine and body when driving under racing conditions. The aerodynamics is consequently designed for downforce – another forte for track racing.
Porsche ambassador and test driver Walter Röhrl (62) will compete in the Nürburgring 24 hour race in May 2010 in a standard new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It will also mark Röhrl’s return to Germany’s largest automobile race since last competing in 1993. The 38th running of the Nürburgring 24 hour race takes place on 15-16 May 2010. Every year, this event attracts far more than 200,000 spectators to the Nordschleife.
