2018 Porsche 911 Gt3 Rs Horsepower

Like the previous 911 GT3 RS, the engine is mated to a seven-speed PDK double-clutch transmission and there is no option of a manual gearbox. The increase in power is claimed to shave 0.1sec from the outgoing 911 GT3 RS's 0-62mph time, lowering it to 3.2sec, while adding 1mph to its top speed at 194mph.

Modifications to the car's chassis were informed by the knowledge gleaned from the 911 GT2 RS launched last year. The new 911 GT3 RS has the same spring rates front and rear as its turbocharged stablemate. At the front, those spring rates amount to double that seen on either the current 911 GT3 or previous 911 GT3 RS, and the rear spring rate has increased by 40%. Like the 911 GT2 RS, rose joints are used throughout the front and rear suspension, while the rear-wheel steering system has been extensively reprogrammed.

All 911 GT3 RSs are fitted with carbonfibre front wings and bonnet (with new NACA ducts to aid brake cooling), as well as a magnesium roof.

Visually, the new Porsche road racer is differentiated from its predecessor by a series of subtle aerodynamic and styling upgrades. They include new LED indicator lights set within a reprofiled front bumper. The bumper also features new vertical air flow guides within the outer ducts to more efficiently channel air to the front-mounted radiators and brakes. At the rear, there are more heavily structured rear lights, a new bumper with larger air extraction ducts and modified supports for the rear wing, which itself features newly shaped end plates.
