Before go into this topic, I would like to say, this is the 1st western sport car I post in my blog. Why? The reason is because I love this car so much, even I know myself can't own this car forever but it really awesome!
Ok fine, talk less nonsense and lets start here. This is the latest Porsche 911 GT3 RS!! This car will make its 1st debut at the Frankfurt motor show next month. More of a street-legal race car than anything else, the 911 GT3 RS gets Porsche's 3.8-liter flat-six(yummy yummy) tweaked to produce a hefty 450 horsepower along with numerous chassis and aerodynamic mods. And while very few will ever get the chance to sit behind the steering wheel of the RS, Porsche is giving the rest of us a taste of its most hardcore 911 with the release of two race-track videos that you can enjoy right after the jump.
Power is channeled via a 6-speed manual transmission with shorter ratios than the one in the regular GT3 and to keep everything manageable, handling has been further improved with a purpose-built PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) suspension, a wider front and rear track made possibly by larger wheel arches. To add to that, the GT3RS’s engine mounts are able to adjust their stiffness and damping effect depending on driving conditions.
As for the exterior, the new RS still looks as menacing and purposeful as ever with new graphics, revised front and rear fascias and a new carbon fiber rear wing with aluminium supports. As with previous GT3RS models, lowering weight is a priority and to achieve that, the new GT3 RS gets an optional lithium-ion battery that saves 10kgs over the standard unit. A lightweight titanium exhaust system is also among the measures taken to save weight. As for the pricing, the new GT3RS retails for US$132,800 in the U.S., expect that to be much higher here.
Below are the pictures and video, enjoy~
