Here’s the Porsche 911 GT3 R officially presented at the Autosport International Show in Birmingham. The 911 GT3 R is a race-use only Porsche, in line with FIA GT rules, and includes modifications on the GT3 Cup, which in turn was based on the GT3 RS “standard” model. The GT3 R has a flat-six, 4.0-litre engine replacing the 3.8. It has 480 hp and a reduced weight of 1,200 kg.

The GT3 R has sports ABS, traction control and transmission assistance to avoid the rear wheels blocking when going up the gears. Changes to the aerodynamics are part of the package and include a huge rear spoiler, and the car is also fitted with adjustable SACHS suspension. The Porsche 911 GT3 R will cost about 279,000 euros, taxes excluded. It will be available in spring.
