2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Breaks Cover

Following the release of the facelifted Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models late last year, as well as the new Targa and GT3, and then just earlier this month the new 911 Turbo, comes the first details and images for the updated 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Porsche has continued its tradition of only implementing minimal changes to the styling of its race-bred GT3 RS, opting to focus on changes taking place under the revised sheet metal instead.

Described as the ““the most sporting 911 yet”, the new 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS comes into the world with the same 3.8-liter naturally aspirated flat six as the regular GT3 but with a healthier 444 horsepower – 35 horsepower up on the outgoing model.



The high-revving engine has a specific output of more than 113 horsepower per liter and comes mated to a low-ratio, short-shift six-speed manual gearbox.

Some of the other important changes for the new GT3 RS includes a wider track, both front and rear, as well as an oversized carbon-fiber GT wing with exposed aluminum supports. To reduce even further than the already lithe 2009 model, Porsche engineers have fitted a lithium-ion battery, resulting in a 10kg weight saving.

Porsche is yet to reveal full details for its latest addition so stay tuned for an update.
