Background
The Porsche 911 GT3 RSR (type 997) is in compliance with the 2006 Le Mans
GT2 regulations of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (A. C. O.) as well as the
regulations of the international automobile assembly FIA for Series Grand
Touring Cars, thus enabling the participation in various racing series.
The new design adopts
the meanwhile typical face of the 997 series. Due to body work optimizations,
the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR (type 997) dispose of improved aerodynamics and a
10 percent increased stiffness. At the same time, the centre of gravity has
been lowered significantly. Wider rear fenders and a wider rear track for
rear wheels up to 14 inches enhance the performance capabilities of this new
racing car and make it competitive against rivals like Ferrari, Panoz and
Spyker. The 3,8 litre engine produces 485 hp at a maximum torque of 435 Nm.
Additionally, the new RSR convinces through re-designed, service- and driver-friendly electronics.
Performance and reliability remain the outstanding characteristics of the 911 GT3 RSR, which was built also and especially for the insertion in long-distance racing, e. g. at the famous Le Mans 24 Hours.
The vehicle can not be approved for road use. Each customer is solely responsible for observing the regulations relevant to himself and his car.
