The first generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS arrives in Peru
In response to Peruvian interest in the super sports cars of Stuttgart-based manufacturer Porsche Peru comes to market with the first generation of the new 911 GT3 RS, a sports car designed for maximum street-legal performance. This luxury offering is distinguished by the fact that it takes all the technological advances and concepts developed around the world for competition and combines them with a high-revving naturally aspirated engine and intelligent lightweight design.
“The passion for detail, sportiness and high performance of our cars have contributed to the growing interest in these super sports cars in our country,” said Gonzalo Flechel, Manager of Porsche Peru. “Proof of this is that the quota that the German parent company gives us for these special units has increased, with two more examples of the 911 GT3 RS expected to arrive this year.”
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS not only represents an evolution in terms of performance and technology, but also embodies Porsche’s continued commitment to motorsport excellence. With its performance, this car sets a new standard in its class and redefines the possibilities of sporty driving.
“This model embodies the very essence of Porsche: exceptional performance, precision engineering and a passion for driving that goes beyond all limits. We are confident that the 911 GT3 RS will captivate the brand’s most discerning fans in the country and provide them with a truly unforgettable experience. an unforgettable driving experience,” said Fleschel.
About the 911 GT3 RS
The 911 GT3 RS is designed to further increase performance thanks to radical grip and lightweight construction. This is possible because the car includes active aerodynamic elements inspired by concepts developed around the world for competition.
The large central radiator is the heart of the 911 GT3 RS. It is located at the front of the car, allowing for the integration of active aerodynamic elements that, combined with the rear spoiler, provide more than 900 pounds of downforce and a speed of approximately 200 km/h. Twice as much as the predecessor 991.2 generation and three times as much as the current 911 GT3.
This model also features Drag Reduction System (DRS) for the first time. Technology that allows you to reduce drag and increase speed on straight sections of the track at the touch of a button. In the event of sudden braking at high speeds, the function provides deceleration and maximum aerodynamic drag.
Without a doubt, the 911 GT3 RS is distinguished by the large number of functional aerodynamic elements that it includes. In an unprecedented move, the top edge of the rear spoiler is higher than the roof. The front wheels are ventilated, which reduces dynamic pressure on the wheel arches. The rear wheel arch also features an air intake and a side plate to optimize airflow.
As for the suspension on the track, it can be modified to improve aerodynamics. The front axle has components that increase aerodynamic load and increase speed. Additionally, to ensure that the balance between the front and rear axles is maintained even when braking at high speeds, the suspension engineers have significantly reduced sway during braking.
As for the driving system, three modes are offered: Normal, Sport and Track. In Track mode, basic settings can be adjusted individually. Among other settings, rebound and compression damping on the front and rear axles can be adjusted separately and at multiple levels.
As for the engine, the 911 GT3 RS is equipped with a high-revving 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, which has been further optimized compared to the 911 GT3. Its power increased by 518 hp. (911 GT3 – 502 hp). It is equipped with a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission, which has a full ratio and is able to withstand even the extreme loads of frequent track use thanks to air intakes in the underbody.
The 911 GT3 RS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds (911 GT3: 3.2 seconds) and reaches a top speed of 300 km/h in seventh gear. The piston diameter has been increased from 30 to 32 mm. In addition, the thickness of the discs has been increased from 34 to 36 mm. Forged alloy wheels with central locking are also standard. Road-approved Ultra High Performance tires in sizes 275/35 R 20 at the front and 335/30 R21 at the rear provide high levels of mechanical grip.
Another aspect to note is the intelligent lightweight design that is the core principle of all RS models. Thanks to a number of measures and extensive use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS weighs just 3,268 pounds. For example, the material is used in the doors, front quarter panels, roof and hood, as is the interior, including the standard bucket seats, which are upholstered in black leather and Race-Tex fabric that is woven throughout the interior to highlight the clean, clean feel. sporty atmosphere.
Additionally, the Weissach package can be installed, which includes a significant number of changes compared to standard cars. These include the hood, roof, rear spoiler parts and upper cowl, as well as PDK shift paddles with motorsports-derived magnetic technology and forged magnesium wheels, included in the Weissach package and saving 17.6 pounds. unsprung weight compared to standard wheels.
