Re: Walter Rohrl's 997 GT3 RS

i thought he would choose a less eye catching colour so he can go into stealth mode and whip everyone when he is driving in The Ring in secret, like some secret guy with superpowers. ok i am being a bit mental

Re: Walter Rohrl's 997 GT3 RS

What are the stats on the GT3 RS? Like weight, hp/Torque, etc?

I bet the car is amazing, and the green, I like green but maybe not for this car.

Judging by his facial expression one can beleive the green paint contains kryptonite.

Same engine as GT3 but the car is lower and wider! And lighter!

Configuration:Rear Engine/RWD
Engine:Flat-6
Displacement:3600 cc
Horsepower:415 bhp @ 7600 rpm
Torque:Unavailable
Max RPM:8400 rpm
Transmission:6-Speed Manual

The GT3 RS is distinguished by its performance capability and an unadulterated driving experience similar to that of a racing car. But while particularly suited for use on the track, the car also meets all requirements for road-legal sports cars.
The reference "RS" will quicken the pulse of Porsche connoisseurs. Models such as the legendary Carrera RS 2.7 of 1972 and the 1991 Type 964 911 RS were also sports cars that stood out on account of their extreme degree of maneuverability and handling. That tradition is continued with the new 911 GT3 RS. In common with its predecessors, it provides an homologation model for use in a range of racing series.

The exceptionally powerful, normally aspirated engine boasts a displacement of 3.6-liters to generate 415 bhp at 7,600 rpm. Maximum revs are reached at 8,400 rpm. The power output per liter of engine capacity is 115.3 bhp. These figures are shared with the recently-announced 911 GT3, but bespoke drivetrain components in the RS ensures it puts in an even better performance. Thanks to a close-ratio six-speed transmission with a single-mass flywheel and 44 lbs lower vehicle weight, the engine revs up even more freely, thus enabling the 911 GT3 to sprint from zero to 62mph in 4.2 seconds. That's one tenth of a second faster than the GT3. And it takes just 13.3 seconds to hit to 124 mph. Top speed is 187 mph.

One characteristic of the new RS is the body, which is 1.7 inch wider at the rear (a legacy from the Carrera 4 models with which it shares its shell) by comparison with the 911 GT3. The muscular-looking rear end conceals a wider track that not only improves directional stability but also increases the potential cornering grip of the two-seater coupe.

Despite its specialized body, the RS is 44 lbs lighter than the GT3, weighing in at just 3031 lbs. This weight-saving was achieved by the use, amongst other solutions, of an adjustable carbon fiber wing, the use of a plastic rear lid and a lightweight plastic rear window. As a consequence, the corresponding engine power to kerb weight ratio is over 300 bhp per tone.

With a view to the registration regulations for the important GT motor racing championships as future fields of application, the road version of the GT3 RS features technical attributes that will also appear in the racing version. These solutions will include the design of the entire wheel carrier and split wishbones on the rear axle, in addition to the carbon fiber components of the body.

The interior of the 911 GT3 RS lives up to the vehicle's sporting aspirations: two lightweight bucket seats made of carbon fiber composite materials come as standard, together with a bolted-in roll cage and pre-wiring for a battery master switch. A six-point seatbelt for the driver and a fire extinguisher are also provided. Internal trims are black, with the roof lining, steering wheel and gear stick trimmed in high-quality Alcantara leather.

The available exterior paint finishes are Arctic Silver metallic or Black; as an option, the GT3 can also be obtained in Orange or Green. All vehicle insignia and the wheels themselves are styled in orange or black to contrast with the body paintwork.


I'd take it in orange!

Re: Walter Rohrl's 997 GT3 RS

In the USA we don't get the plastic windows or the lighter seats, so, with the wider bodywork, our cars may end up being heavier than the GT3. On my 996 GTS I have a factory RS carbon fiber wing, and because it is larger than the GT3 wing (plastic) I don't think there is much weight savings at all.

I want the orange one too, but it would be my third orange car (gallardo, 916) and I would like to get the diamondback in copperhead satin metallic (orange). Plus my father put down a deposit to order an RS and he wants orange too.
