2001 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
(996) 3.6lt 420hp
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the successor to Porsche's dominating 911 GT3 R. This water-cooled 996 based racer has proven to be a formidable challenger in the GT category during the 2000 season. The modified 3.6 liter six cylinder engine develops in excess of 420 horsepower and drives through a six-speed gearbox equipped with oil heat exchanger, pressurized lubrication, and a limited slip differential. The revised bodywork, combining light weight and strength, makes maximum use of current aerodynamic principles to provide excellent grip with minimum drag. The chassis of the 911 GT3 RS comes completely equipped with the necessary components to comply with current sanctioning body regulations. Fitted, from the factory, with a fuel cell, externally adjustable shock absorbers, spherical bearings at suspension mounting points, electric power steering, and 380 mm, four pistons/caliper brakes, Porsche's newest offering will be THE "turn key" race car.
The 911 GT3 RS represents the new GT generation and has been developed in accordance with the 2000 Le Mans GT regulations. It is possible to enter this car in numerous international races and championships as for instance the 24 hour races of Daytona and Le Mans, as well as the American Le Mans Series and national GT championships.
