Aerodynamics and design

Motorsport technology in its purist form is epitomised by the front wheel arch air outlets of the lightweight carbon wings. With 12 slats, they provide an efficient exit for the air drawn into the front wheel arches. This reduces the overpressure created by the turning wheels and thereby counters lift. It’s an aerodynamic detail with road approval, otherwise found only on racing cars like the RS Spyder.
The result is extra downforce, generated together with the aerodynamically styled front end and the 911 GT3 RS-specific front spoiler.

At the limit, the air rapidly thins out. That’s why the new 911 GT3 RS has two air intake openings for the engine – on the left and right in the rear side sections.
At the rear, the new 911 GT3 RS is muscular in appearance, aggressively so when seen from the side. The 21-inch wheels on the rear axle not only improve the footprint, traction and lateral dynamics, they also help to provide a slight forward pitch, which hints at the car’s hunger for acceleration.
Another unique characteristic of the new 911 GT3 RS is the surface contouring of its lightweight magnesium roof and carbon luggage compartment lid.

The cooling air intake grilles are coated in titanium colour. The carbon rear lid has wing uprights in forged aluminium and a rear wing, also made from carbon.
The indicators, daytime running lights and position lights are designed with LED technology. SportDesign exterior mirrors embody lightweight construction. The rear silencer in titanium is characteristic.
Each aerodynamic measure works in harmony with the customary Porsche motorsport design to form a functional unit: a high level of downforce and a high degree of driving stability.

 

Interior design

The sports car environment in the 911 GT3 RS is perfectly adapted to the driver. Man and machine are as one. Which is just as well because, on the racetrack, there is usually only a fraction of a second in which to make the right decision. Accelerate or brake. Pass left or right. Refuel or chance another lap.

Speed is critical in the cockpit, too. The driver needs information that can be accessed quickly and an interior ergonomics concept that enables even faster use of it. This requirement is fulfilled by the ascending centre console with ergonomic gearshift paddles on the steering wheel itself and by controls positioned within easy reach.

Motorsport heritage is apparent the moment you open the doors. The lightweight door trims with fabric opening loops in GT Silver demonstrate that every gramme matters – and every second counts. At Porsche, we appreciate that over 30,000 racing victories could not have been achieved on engine power alone.
