The end of the motorsport season is here and Porsche has gone out with a bang as they have introduced their 2011 GT3 RSR at the “Night of Champions” party held at the R&D Center in Weissach. The GT3 RSR will join the 911 GT3 R and the 911 GT3 Cup in competing in the 2011 GT racing. Teams interested can be had for 410,000 Euro ($543,000 at current rates) plus country-specific value added tax. The new GT3 RSR is powered a 4.0-liter, six-cylinder boxer engine mated to a six-speed gearbox. This combination delivers 455 HP at 7,800 rpm and a max 450Nm of torque. That’s five horsepower more than the GT3 Cup, but 25 less than the GT3 R. The power increase was possible thanks to an engine management system, a redesigned exhaust system, and a modified air intake housing. Stopping power comes from single-piece six-piston aluminum fixed calipers in the front and single-piece four-piston aluminum fixed calipers in the rear. Taking that power to the pavement will be three-piece BBS light-alloy wheels, 12J x 18 ET 34 in the front and 13J x 18 ET 12.5 at the rear. The Porsche GT3 RSR has a monocoque body (basis GT3 RS) of hot-galvanised steel and receives a new front lip, wider front wheels, a modified rear wing, and a redesigned rear lid for optimized air ducting. Taking its cue from the 911 GT3 Cup and the GT3 R, the RSR has been LED rear lights taken from the latest 911 road-legal cars. Press release after the jump. Press release The Porsche 911 GT3 RSR takes off into the new motorsport season with extensive modifications. The 2011 version of the world’s most successful GT race car celebrated its international premiere at the “Night of Champions” party held at the R&D Centre in Weissach to mark the end of the motorsport season. Priority in the further development of the GT3 RSR was given to the newly designed aerodynamics at the front and rear, changes to the suspension kinematics and to the engine.  The 4.0-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine now delivers 455 hp (355 kW) at 7,800 revs, five horsepower more than its predecessor. The power increase results from an engine management system which adapts even better to different fuel grades, as well as a redesigned exhaust system and a modified air intake housing. Moreover, the driveability of the famously efficient engine has undergone further improvements. Maximum revs remain unchanged at 9,400 rpm.  The 911 GT3 RSR joins the 911 GT3 R and the 911 GT3 Cup as the top model of Porsche Motorsport’s product range. The successful long distance racer from Weissach can be ordered now at a price of 410,000 Euro plus country-specific value added tax. All 2011 modifications are available as a kit for GT3 RSR cars from the 2010 season. Technical description Porsche GT3 RSR (2011 model year)Engine  Suspension 17 comments: Porsche GT3 RSR The exterior design of this GT3 of Porsche is definitely looking great on it and I’m glad that they use an impressive and striking engine for this race car of them.
 It is absolutely looks so striking and awesome on that design, and its engine and horsepower is kind of impressive, but I don’t think that it is not enough to have a better performance to beat its competitor.
 Now that’s what you call “ the beast”! Please do understand that Porsche have made upgrade on their production before the new season starts.
 wonder if I’ll see one on the road with some stuck-up jerk behind the wheel, ruining this track car What are they 335/17’s?
 Oh does anybody knows that website, where it shows every single Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, and Cup cars chassis were sold. Also it shows what team brought a car, and how many years they race it. It keeps track of all of today’s Porsche racing cars
 There’s something to be said for real race-tested technology, and it’s why they are basically bulletproof unless you are putting stupid power levels through them that they weren’t designed for.
