Delivering even more engine power, lower weight and shorter transmission ratios, as well as upgraded body and suspension components than all previous GT3s, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS sets the foundation for homologating the race version of the 911 GT3 and will be introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show September 17-27, 2009.

The heart of the new, uncompromising GT3 RS is the power unit. Like the engine featured in the 911 GT3, the naturally-aspirated RS power unit now displaces 3.8 liters and delivers even more power, while revving up even faster to its 8500 rpm redline. It now delivers 450 horsepower, 15 more horsepower than its 911 GT3 counterpart. Even with a specific output of more than 118 hp per liter from the six-cylinder boxer engine, the power unit in the new GT3 RS remains fully suitable for everyday use.

The new 911 GT3 RS comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox optimized for short gearshift travel, low weight and high efficiency. To enhance the level of performance throughout the entire range of engine and road speed, the transmission comes with shorter ratios than found in the 911 GT3, deliberately conceding an even higher potential top track speed.

Dynamic engine mounts are standard and serve to improve the car's handling to an even higher level. Depending on driving conditions, the mounts change in their stiffness and damping effect, improving the connection between the engine and the body when driving under very lively conditions, yet allow for more comfortable conditions during everyday street use.

Porsche is also introducing another new option in 2010 for the GT3 RS, a lithium-ion battery. Delivered with the car and, when replacing the conventional lead-acid battery, it reduces the weight by more than 10 kg or 22 lb and is mainly intended for the track.

To further improve its sporting behavior, the new 911 GT3 RS comes with a purpose-built and specially set up PASM suspension, a wider front and rear track and corresponding bodywork.

The front axle comes with nine-inch-wide wheels running on 245/35 ZR 19 sports tires while the rear axle features twelve-inch-wide wheels incorporating 325/30 ZR 19 sports tires.

The new 911 GT3 RS shows its close connection to motorsport through its dynamic looks, in particular by its low ride height, the new, extra large carbon-fiber rear wing and titanium exhaust system.

The 2010 911 GT3 RS goes on sale in the U.S. in early spring of 2010 and will be priced at $132,800.

Eh. Whatever. Give it a month, and you'll tons of them driven by douchebags in the LA or Silicon Valley area.

Porsches have lost all appeal to me since the death of the 993. In terms of poseur-mobiles go, they rank higher than the M3...right up there with a flappy-paddle Gallardo Spyder.

i dont like it....fact, i dont really ,like Porsche at all

i think thats a bad *** looking ride . a car cant choose its driver. id drive one all day with all that neon red on it and everything

I think the car is gorgeous and would drive it in a heartbeat.

umm...the red has got to go on the exterior

Want to see what the wheels actually look like (motionless).
I love GT3's my Fav porsche.

Although not a fan of the red decals, the GT3 RS is pure win.

Not a big fan of Porsche either but I have a soft spot for the GT3.

I'd rather have a car with fangs then one with lipstick.

well I need to go change my pants, thanks MC

the lipstick wearing mobile will give an *** whooping of a life time to your fanged beast... dont get me wrong - I love my Z and its fangs... but that right there is a monster ...

That is the big daddy of all factory track cars. I was lucky enough to get a ride in a 2008 GT3 RS earlier this year at mid-ohio and it was almost a religious experience.

My fanged beast gets beat by a lipstick-wearing monster every night ;)

lol

Sick....

Dope.

Not really what I assumed to be but I like the earlier GT3RS

OMG!!!! 450hp from a NA 3.8??? Seriously I wish Porsche engineers would teach Nissan a thing or two when it comes to designing street motors. Where else on the planet would u get that in a production car? Amazing accomplishment I must say and this is gonna be the God of all track cars.

That thing w/ a TT will DESTROY

in the words of Jeremy Clarkson. Ai here comes Richard in his stretched VW beetle.

I like the white and pink better tho.

^ me too :eekdance::eekdance::eekdance::eekdance:

LOL I think your whipped smurf

I gotta agree with nogood on this one. Porsche is just over rated. Amzaing machines but not worth the price=name

Ya and I mean you can but quite a few cars now a days that can out run them for a little more or little less money.

lol

Well I think he is.

For example? I mean sure there are cars that can outrun a few of them (GTR) but the fun of driving is different. I mean Im pretty sure that driving a GT3 RS is a hell of alot more fun and rewarding than driving a GTR around a track not to mention it would take more skill too.

I gave examples lol

Well I was attempting to poke a little fun at that one, guess not. Def not whipped lol

This man speaks Troof!

:iagree:

There was a time when I did not care for Porsche at all. Fortunately I started studying different companies and the history & experience that Porsche has is, IMO, a result of brilliant minds collaborating together.

I love their cars, but I love their race technology even more. Just the mere fact that this GT3-RS originated from such a company makes me want to own one :excited:.

The fact that the power is 450 of all motor makes me want one even more :driving:

Just my .02.

I still would care to have a car that I can work on myself. Just not a 133,000 dollar car that can not make it over a speed bump.

Have you driven both yourself to come to such a conclusion?

I lol'd.

No it is not. Far, far, FAR away from that claim. Lol. A less expensive track-prepped-from-factory vehicle? SRT10 ACR. I believe it holds the record for production cars at the Nurburgring. I know this current GT3 hasn't. But I don't think 15 crank hp and a few other adjustments will make that much of a change.

I have driven both a standard 09 GT3 and a 09 GTR yes. The GTR feels like a videogame with the paddle shifters and all the electronics on board. Its just wayy too many buttons and modes to deal with. The car while awesome was not as fun to drive as I expected. You can feel the weight when tossing it around but its pretty easy to drive. The GT3 was an experience I can never forget. The car just had a sport button, PASM settings and a TC button. Thats it. Rowing the gears and spinning that baby from about 4000k up to redline is orgasmic lol. And this car is far less forgiving than the GTR. It will bite if u disobey it. Its truly a street legal race car.

Man you have been posting a LOT lol... but that 133k car - is just like most cars... it makes it over bumps with just as much effort as a Z... and if you are capable and confidant w/ your skills - you could work on it.. but then again... why the sh!t would anyone do ANYTHING to that car... ok ok maybe a TT but there is no way you or I are installing a TT on a GT3RS

Actually Porsche is a very simple car to work on especially a car of that magnitude. Think about it, the design of that car has been the same for 20 years. So, Porsche has had 20 years to figure out the BEST was to set that car up to make it easier to access things and work on it. 20 years to say "Hmmm, if we put THIS here and THAT there it would make this a whole lot easier to get to." I had a friend that owns a car shop/garage tell me the easiest transmission to swap out and work on is Porsche hands down and this was the reason why. You could NEVERRRRR work on an R35 GT-R because it's got soo much electronic **** on it. I'm not picking on the GT-R either because I would take one in a second haha, but the fact of the matter is Porsche is the tits. I'll take a Porsche over most other things and pay the extra no problem..of course I would take a Z06 before even a Porsche probably because of the simple price difference and the Z06 is badass !:tup:

^
Well I was watching one of my friend's older brother change the oil on an old 911 and it was one of the funniest **** I've seen seeing him in so much agony and frustration. :D
