The GT3 RS is the “most racy 911 ever”, and we’re not just talking the fluoro orange side strips. In this video Andrea Prenuninger (sports racer manager) gives us a low-down of the technology behind the new GT3 RS, including weight and aerodynamics, downforce, and the use of a wider track at the front, rims and wheels. In short, this is supposed to feel like a cup car, it just happens to be street legal.

Overall the GT3 RS has 450 hp on 1,370 kg of weight which is just 100 kg shy of a track version. Other features include external and internal roll bars, a closer, shorter shift, Porsche Stability Management system, electronic suspension control, active engine support and well…this machine was developed by Porsche motorsports so that should really tell us all we need to know! In addition the Sport function increases torque by 35Nm at middle rev range, while overall torque is 430 Nm at 6,750 rpm. Autobloc differential is included.
