H ören is faster here than seeing: the new one Porsche 911 GT3 RS rush ahead of its chintels. In the gymnasium of the sports car legend – otherwise known as the Nürburgring – the most recent derivation of the apparently immortal “Elfer” has now been presented in full speed, and the specialists in the Swabian technical force could trust their big ears: “He comes with nine thousand on the home stretch. ”
This is the highest currently attributed to the freely sucking six-cylinder boxer speed, as he sounds like the cry of a creature that is out of this world and therefore wants to live in freedom: 520 hp holds the 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine without Exhaust gas turbocharger ready at 8250 revolutions per minute, and there is still unused air around on the open road, only at a maximum of about 340 km / h, the sports car runs into the action of the abregelnden electronics into it.
For nude racing, other translations and aerodynamic aids are often used. Therefore, there are also different end speeds. Because, for example, the acceleration, the contact pressure and the grip from the corner can be more important.
From the state of the 1430 kilo-weighing Hecktriebler catapulted himself and his driver (optionally with co-driver) in 3.2 seconds to 100 km / h. For the price of 195 137 euros, the GT3 RS comes in the presumably happy excited customer hand and can not only be good as a racing car, but also a license. The presented about a year ago GT3 without RS addition costs 152 416 euros and has 20 hp less. Still firmiert Porsche as a car manufacturer, but sells gorgeous boy dreams to adult people who can count well and still have to deal with a slightly increased hormone release in moments of contract signing. You should also have some physical fitness.
Because this 911 with its rescue anchor brakes and the sophisticated aerodynamics lives as close to the racing technology as no other street legal, cornering speeds are possible, which demand as the first requirement resilient and firmly positioned organs in the driver. Transverse and deceleration are beyond bourgeois sensations. On the stern, the rigid rear wing features the dimensions of a drone runway, the roof is made of magnesium, the body breathes in cool air at several openings and heat, and the amenities in the interior are reduced to narrow-seated seats, on request and At no extra charge (included in the Clubsport package), a roll bar and a hand fire extinguisher are mounted, the front wings and fenders are made of carbon, as well as the full-shell seats, and Porsche says: “They provide a secure lateral support even with high driving dynamics.” You could also say If necessary, the driver is fixed with a vise that gives him small breathing freedom, blinking his eyes and steering and braking.
Everything is not the turf, but the precision of driving, anyway a popular goal at Porsche. Therefore, the RS also drives with a specially tuned suspension, for example, with rather harsh, but more accurate than elastokinematische bearing reactive ball joints. At the front, large twenty-inch wheels are fitted with special Michelin tires in the 265/35 dimension, while at the rear, 21-inch wheels with 325/30 rubber rollers have to take care of the drive.
For the private RS driver, the way to the garage every day is his own pit lane: how nice that crackles when the 911 gets cooler. If the human being is always aware of the catching valance of the forces in the rear of this particular Elfer, he lives in that concentration which Herbert von Karajan also appreciated. And even for the acoustic experience, even at less than 9000 rpm, this is not a bad role model.
