The Porsche 911 (997.2) GT3 RS 4.0 is a high-performance variant of the 997 generation 911, produced from 2010 to 2012. It was designed as an extreme track-focused version of the 911, incorporating numerous lightweight and aerodynamic modifications.

Engine:

  • The 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine produces 505 horsepower at 8,250 rpm
  • Power is transmitted through a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission

Chassis and Bodywork:

  • Weighs approximately 1,280 kg (2,822 lbs), thanks to extensive use of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum
  • Features a rear spoiler with an adjustable wing angle and side sills with air intakes
  • Unique diffuser at the front bumper and side skirts

Interior:

  • Racing-inspired cockpit with sports seats upholstered in Alcantara or leather
  • Central instrument display screen replaced by a digital readout for engine speed, gear indicator, and oil pressure
  • Carbon fiber racing steering wheel with a 360mm diameter and a flat bottom

Performance:

  • Accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.2 seconds
  • Has a top speed of approximately 310 km/h (193 mph)
  • Lateral acceleration is reportedly over 1g, making it one of the most agile production cars available at that time

Production:

  • Only 600 units were produced worldwide during its three-year production run
  • It was initially priced at around $175,000 in the United States and approximately €150,000 (around £130,000) in Germany
