autoleaks porsche 911 gt3 rs spec sheets revealed

Want to know what to expect from the next Porsche 911 GT3 RS? The Internet has delivered a few spec sheets to satisfy your curiosity.

According to Axis of Oversteer, the spec sheets provide substantial information on the new GT3. Per the specs, power is derived from a 4-liter flat-six pumping out 500 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque to the back through a seven-speed PDK unit linked to an electronically controlled rear differential with torque vectoring.

Suspension and chassis components include McPherson spring strut axle on a 36 mm widened track up front, a multi-link rear with integrated auxiliary spring, active suspension management, and 20- and 21-inch GT3 RS forged alloys mounted over compound discs with 6- and 4-piston aluminum monobloc calipers.

Carbon-fiber reinforced plastic is the order of the day for most of the bodywork, as well as the full bucket seats and some trim parts. An optional Clubsport package adds a bolted cage in the back, battery disconnect switch prep, and a HANS-compatibile six-point belting system for the driver, while the new Pit Speed system handles the speed restriction of a given pit lane at the press of a button.

The 911 GT3 RS is due to go on sale in Europe next month.

The leak is very likely authentic; the details corroborate official previews of the car that select Italian and Middle Eastern clients have received prior to Geneva.

Interesting that the GT3 is automatic only and the newly announced Cayman GT4 is stick-shift only.

  My understanding is that 911 GT3 is a car that's meant be as close as possible to the purpose-built 911 competition sports cars competing in IMSA, FIA, and ACO GT classes, and have paper specs to back it up. And all top levels of motorsports competitions have switched to using semi-automatic shifters a long time ago.

Jeff S I don't believe gm will die but that it will continue to shrink in product and market share and it will probably be acquired by a foreign manufacturer. I doubt gm lacks funds as it did in 2008 and that they have more than enough cash at hand but gm will not expand as it did in the past and the emphasis is more on profitability and cutting costs to the bone. Making gm a more attractive takeover target and cut costs at the expense of more desirable and reliable products. At the time of Farago's article I was in favor of the Government bailout more to save jobs and suppliers but today I would not be in favor of the bailout. My opinions on gm have changed since 2008 and 2009 and now I really don't care if gm survives or not.
Kwik_Shift I was a GM fan boy until it ended in 2013 when I traded in my Avalanche to go over to Nissan.
Stuart de Baker I didn't bother to read this article. I'll wait until a definitive headline comes out, and I'll be surprised if Tesla actually produces the Cybertruck. It certainly looks impractical for both snowy and hot sunny weather.
Stuart de Baker This is very interesting information. I was in no danger of buying a Tesla. I love my '08 Civic (stick), and it feels just as responsive as when I bought it 11 years ago with 35k on the clock (now 151k), and barring mishaps, I plan to keep it for the next 25 years or so, which would put me into my mid-90s, assuming I live that long. On your information, I will avoid renting Teslas.
RHD The only people who would buy this would be those convinced by a website that they are great, and order one sight-unseen. They would have to have be completely out of touch with every form of media for the last year. There might actually be a few of these people, but not very many. They would also have to be completely ignorant of the Hyundai Excel. (Vinfast seems to make the original Excel look like a Camry in comparison.)
