Porsche 911 GT3 R rennsport in action (Video)

Porsche 911 GT3 R rennsport

The Porsche 911 GT3 R rennsport race car was made official back in September and now we get to find out more details about the car, Porsche has released a new video about their latest racecar.

Dreams have defined us, but sport has made us. Because sport is a mindset that pushes us forward. It takes our dreams and makes real change out of it. Get ready for a Porsche 911 that embodies this mindset like no other: unrivalled by any Porsche 911 that has come before yet drawing its essence from the very elements that have always set it apart. It is a celebration of the pure joy of racing and a bow to our community.

The 911 GT3 R rennsport was designed to be enjoyed, not to meet racing series’ regulatory frameworks.* It boasts a sensationally low target power-to-weight ratio of 1,240 kg to 456 kW (620 hp) – that’s a remarkable 2 kg per horsepower. This places it beyond the homologation restrictions encountered in racing series, so anyone who gets to drive it can fully concentrate on its pure performance, aided by its heritage-inspired retro spoiler, which draws on the legacy of the vehicle’s legendary predecessors.

At 9,400 RPM the GT3 R rennsport’s exclusive and unsilenced rennsport exhaust system with a centrally mounted double tailpipe, emits an unmistakable roar unheard from any other 911. A mesmerizing sound that is music to the ears of its fans.

Driving the GT3 RS, Narain Karthikeyan broke the previous record of 2m 00.266 seconds — set by Karthikeyan himself in a 911 GT2 RS in 2019 — and registered a new lap time of 1m 59.854 seconds. The new record makes the Porsche 911 GT3 RS the fastest production car around the Buddh International Circuit and the only one to lap the circuit under two minutes.

Registering speeds of over 250km/h on the straights, the 911 GT3 RS’s new record cements its place among the Stuttgart-based brand’s illustrious list of accomplishments.

The GT3 RS, touted as the ultimate road-going track car, also gets its speed from a strong focus on aerodynamics, specifically additional downforce to give it more grip in corners and several degrees of adjustability via simple-to-use controls on the steering.
