Porsche presents the 911 GT3 RSR, the new 911 sports car for those customers who will compete in Gran Turismo racing next season. The car is based on the 997 version of the GT3 RS and it is likely to represent the end of the line for the racing evolution of this model.

The main distinctive feature in comparison to the 2011 model is the fact that the new car is 48mm wider, but the real novelty is in the revised aerodynamics, now featuring a different air intake on the hood and new openings in the rear side section replacing the air scoop on the engine hood. The engine will remain the classic 4.0 liter 6-cylinder boxer unit, but the power has been increased by 5 hp, bringing it up to 460 hp. The 6 speed manual transmission is operated by paddle shifters.

Porsche 911 GT3 RSR has been built according to the rules and limitations of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, meaning that the car is suitable for racing at the 24hrs of Le Mans, in the FIA World Endurance Championship, in the Le Mans Series and in the International GT Open. The first models will be ready in January and the price will be around the half million Euros.
