The Porsche motorsport department is presenting Weissach's latest treat at the Geneva Motor Show, the 911 GT3 RS with motorsport chassis.

The new high-performance sports car pushing 520bhp thanks to a 4.0-litre, six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine is based on the 911 GT3, which has been refined still further to combine the performance-enhanced engine with a running-gear setup that features recalibrated rear axle steering designed for maximum dynamics and precision.

Full bucket seats made of carbon provide secure lateral support in response to high-level driving dynamics

Combined with the specially calibrated seven-speed PDK, the high-performance engine guarantees an outstanding driving performance.

The 911 GT3 RS accelerates from 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 312km/h. Following the launch of the 911 GT3 and the 911 GT2 RS, this latest release will see Porsche present its third GT road-approved sports car within a year.

Aerodynamics have determined the design of the wide, weight-optimised body with its classic rigid rear wing. The racing look continues into the interior with full bucket seats made of carbon to provide secure lateral support in response to high-level driving dynamics.

Lightweight door panels with storage nets and opening loops, reduced sound absorption and the new lightweight rear lid further emphasise the consistency of the material choices.

As with all current GT sports cars, the Clubsport package is also available for the 911 GT3 RS at no extra cost. The package includes a roll-over bar, a manual fire extinguisher, preparation for a battery disconnect switch and a six-point belt for a sporty driving experience.

For particularly ambitious drivers, the Porsche motorsport department has created an optional Weissach package for a further weight reduction. The package features additional carbon components for the chassis, interior and exterior, as well as optional magnesium wheels. In its lightest configuration, this package reduces the weight of the 911 GT3 RS down to 1,430kg.
