Ambitious drivers know that precise deceleration is just as important as powerful acceleration. Improved aero balance when braking is achieved by an optimized chassis geometry reducing the deflection of the front axle.
The new 911 GT3 RS reduces the need to brake before bends and chicanes to a minimum. The ultra high performance (UHP) tires with 275/35 R20 at the front and 335/30 R21 at the rear, new wider wheels and wider track provide more lateral dynamics and higher cornering speeds.
Intense racing demands everything from man and machine. That's why the sporty 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is now even more robust on the race track, thanks to a modified bleeding system with an adjusted transmission ratio. After all, you don't want to drive the new 911 GT3 RS in overdrive.
Wet asphalt, tight corner combinations, personal driving style: There are many factors to consider in motorsport for an optimal setup. The steering wheel with three additional mode switches now offers even more flexibility for adapting chassis control systems like PASM, PSM and PTV Plus to support the driving conditions. Additionally, Traction Control (TC) can also be switched off and adjusted in different stages.
The new 911 GT3 RS is set up for performance – thanks to increased downforce and revised aerodynamics. Using all vehicle data, including longitudinal/lateral acceleration, accelerator/brake pedal position and friction values, even the position of the rear wing and front diffuser are automatically adjusted to the driving situation in split seconds by Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) with DRS. Best prerequisites for the next flying lap.
The new aero wishbones on the front axle increase downforce by reducing turbulence and the flow rate behind the bars – by up to 88 lbs at top speed. Sophisticated technology, derived from motorsports.
Headwind is one of the biggest challenges on the way to fast lap times. The new 911 GT3 RS uses air flow optimally with every component. The setup for the best possible drag coefficient is completed by a two-piece rear section with enlarged air vents, rear spoiler with rear ventilation and a diffuser.
The interior with leather/Race-Tex features in Black, deviated stitching and embroidered "GT3 RS" lettering and trim strips in Black with inlays in a satin carbon fiber-weave finish highlight exclusivity as standard. On request, the interior is also available with extended leather/Race-Tex features and the contrasting color Guards Red or GT Silver.
A choice of seven colored light schemes for the ambient lighting in the front footwells, door storage compartments, front center console, and rear area.
Sound Package Plus provides 8 speakers, 150 watts of power and an amplifier integrated in the PCM - delivering an acoustic pattern that is optimally adapted to the driver and front passenger. The optional BOSE® Surround Sound System with 12 speakers, 100 watt subwoofer and 570 watt total output also enables each individual speaker to be fine-tuned to the vehicle interior.

Traffic sign recognition uses a camera and navigation data to detect road signs, no overtaking zones (start and end), and infer local traffic codes (from boundary signs) and displays them in the instrument cluster.
Parking proximity sensors on the rear with audible proximity warning and distance graphic on the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) screen.
The 911 GT3 RS already has a particularly powerful brake system as standard – which has been optimized again for use on the race track: with 6-piston aluminum brake calipers painted in Red at the front and 4-piston aluminum brake calipers at the rear in monobloc construction for high dimensional stability and very good response and release of the brakes. The lowered and internally vented compound brake discs reduce the unsprung and rotating masses and thus the weight, thanks to their two-part design with aluminum brake chambers.
