Porsche is the biggest name in endurance sportscar racing worldwide, and its racing engineers plan on keeping it that way. Following the introduction of the GT3 Cup S comes a new-and-improved version of its big brother, the GT3 RSR. The most powerful 911-based racer Porsche makes, the RSR produces 465 horsepower from its 3.8-liter flat-six, and revs all the way to a 9400rpm redline. Although the engine carries over unchanged from the previous version, improvements have been made to the aerodynamics, suspension and transmission. Most visible is the new front end, with additional "flick" spoilers, enhanced air intakes and aerodynamically-optimized air outlets. The suspension offers a wider range of adjustability, and the RSR now features the six-speed sequential gearbox from the even-badder RS Spyder sports-prototype.
Despite its alphanumeric designation, the GT3 RSR actually competes in the GT2 class, where it will face stiff competition from the likes of the Corvette C6R, Ferrari F430 GT2 and the upcoming Aston Martin Vantage GT2.
Thirty-five orders for the new GT3 RSR have already been placed, at nearly €350,000 apiece, and are being filled by Porsche's Weissach workshop. Check out the images in the gallery below and the press release after the jump.
