5 things you need to know about the new 992 GT3 RS

31/8/2022

No 1 – The Massive Wing - The swan neck wing with hydraulic actuated DRS to achieve low drag and higher speeds on straight sections of the track, the DRS allows the wings to be flattened out at the push of a button on the steering wheel, within a specific operating range. The airbrake function is activated during emergency braking at high speeds

No 2 – Drive train and Gear box -The GT3 RS will only be available in a 7 speed PDK gearbox and has a 386 kW (525 PS) high revving flat six. That launches the car from 0 – 62 mph in 3.2s and has a top speed on 183 mph.

No 3 – Light weigh construction - Carbon Body Panels and light weigh wheels resulting in a total curb weight of 1,450 kg. The doors, front wings, roof, and front lid are made from Carbon Fibre. This also includes elements on the vehicle’s interior, Bucket seats and cabin panels

No 4 – Advanced vehicle setup - Four individual rotary controls are located on the steering wheel. This includes functions to adjust and change the vehicles setup while on the move. These controls include rebound and compression damping of the front and rear axles, Pre-load parameters for the rear differential, and traction control with 7 stages of pre-set configurations to get the most out of track days and driving experiences.

No 5 – Single radiator - Inspired by the Lemans winning 911 RSR. Instead of the three-radiator layout seen in previous generations and other 911 models, the new 911 GT3 RS relies on a large, angled centre radiator, positioned where the luggage compartment is located on other 911 models. This does remove the front trunk storage as seen in other 911 models
