Consistently designed for performance - the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS makes no secret of its concept: it is uncompromisingly designed for maximum performance. To achieve this, the 386 kW (525 hp) road-legal high-performance sports car makes consistent use of technologies and principles from motorsport. In addition to the high-revving naturally aspirated engine with racing genes and intelligent lightweight construction, it is above all the cooling and aerodynamic concept that proves its direct kinship with its motorsport brother, the 911 GT3 R. The basis for the significant increase in performance is the center radiator concept that was first used in the Le Mans class-winning 911 RSR and subsequently also in the 911 GT3 R. Instead of the previous layout with three radiators, the new 911 GT3 RS relies on a large, angled center radiator in the front of the car. This is positioned where the trunk is located on other 911 models. This has made it possible to use the space freed up at the side to integrate active aerodynamic elements. Infinitely adjustable wing elements at the front and on the two-part rear wing, in combination with a number of other aerodynamic measures, provide 409 kilograms of total downforce at 200 km/h. This means that the new 911 GT3 RS generates twice as much downforce as its predecessor (Type 991 II) and three times as much as a current 911 GT3. At 285 km/h, total downforce is 860 kilograms.
