2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR

Building race cars is big business for Porsche. Talk to the team owners who run company cars, and they will tell you all about the high cost of spare parts sales rates and support. But that does not scare many of them, I like to keep coming back, filling the fair year after years.

To meet the demand for both its cars and Porsche gains today is the opening of the 2011 RSR 911 GT3, the latest version of what is undoubtedly the most successful GT racing cars of all time. What's new? More power, for one thing. The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six is ​​hit 5 hp to 455, the power of what is raised to 7800 rpm. Maximum torque is 332 lb-ft, and the red lines is still a cry core 9400 rpm. To achieve a slight increase in power, the engineers at Weissach twisted motor control to fine-tune the quality of different fuels. The contribution is also redesigned, while the exhaust system is completely new. The four-valve technology and individual throttle dry sump sports body. This is an evolution of an engine test and true, the new direct injection engine now used in most of the street-legal Porsche 911.

The task of routing power to the rear wheels is reduced to a six-speed sequential with a clutch three-disc carbon. The traction control system can be tweaked and tuned for maximum acceleration. Eighteen-inch BBS wheels are fitted, and the fronts are wider than last year year's-12 instead of 11 inches, while the rear wheels are an amazing 13 inches wide. The suspension is fully adjustable. Although galvanized steel body, the new long-distance runner weighs 2690 pounds, he said.

From the outside you can say it's 2011 model of the LED rear lights taken directly from the 997th street-legal generation ago a front spoiler lip with new improved air flow, the rear is also twisted, adding additional openings for ventilation. While the rear now looks much like the current 997, the GT3 RSR curiously keeps the look of the "first phase" pre-2009 997 in front. Cutting the front turn signals look almost exactly like the models from 2004 to 2008. This is a surprising decision that the GT3 Cup and GT3 RSR sister models in the range R Motorsport Porsche presented the latest trends in style complete 911.

Porsche 911 GT3 RSR is not street legal, and the price is high: in Germany, Porsche collect € 410,000 excluding VAT. At current exchange rates is that more than half a million dollars. But for those on a budget, the Porsche Motorsport offer a kit to upgrade the model of last year to 2011 specs. Bless his heart.
