Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0

The 911 GT3 RS 4.0 offers truly impressive driving performance. The most meaningful number: It completes the circumnavigation of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife in 7:27 minutes. The 911 GT3 4.0, which is only available with a six-speed sports transmission, sprints from a standing start to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, while its transmission designed for the race track takes it to 200 km/h in under 12 seconds. The outstanding driving dynamics of the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 are the result of carefully coordinated details. In addition to the use of racing-typical chassis components, weight reduction is also of the utmost importance. Due to the standard equipment with lightweight components such as bucket seats, bonnet and front fenders made of carbon fiber, plastic rear windows and weight-optimized carpets, the ready-to-drive weight of the two-seater is only 1,360 kilograms with a full tank. At 2.72 kg/hp, the power-to-weight ratio of the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 falls below the magic limit of 3 kilograms per hp. The limited 911 is painted white as standard and its dynamic appearance underscores its closeness to racing. Characteristic are the wide track, the low vehicle position, the large rear wing with adapted side plates, the typical central double tailpipe and the aerodynamically optimized body. The lateral front air deflectors, so-called flics, which are being used for the first time in a production Porsche, are evidence of the aerodynamic precision work. They ensure increased downforce on the front axle and, together with the steeply angled rear wing, bring the vehicle into aerodynamic balance. The result: At top speed, the aerodynamic forces push the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 onto the road with an additional 190 kilograms.
