First of all can we really talk about a new Porsche GT3? Apparently we can. For this season the car has been subtelly upgraded. Even though we can’t see the modifications the drivers will most likely notice them. From a mechanical point of view it’s an almost new car. The susspension has been modified for better traction and also more settings. This will come in handy durring the racing season.

The engine has been slightly tinkered with or so say the guys from Porsche. The 6 cylinder 3.8 litre alluminium forged boxer power plant developes 465 HP at 8000 rpm. But the red line is placed at over 9400 rpm. The torque is also impressive: 430 Nm at 7.250 rpm. The car has a brand new transmission,a 6 speed sequential gear box.
Even though the Porsche GT3 RSR will probabily never see normal roads, being a pure racing monster, the 349.800 euros price would most likely discourage pottential buyers.
