Don’t you sometimes wish that you could create your perfect performance machine from the comfort of your computer and then jump right in for a ride? Well, in the case of the new 911 GT3 RS 4.0, now you can... sort of. What we are trying to say is that the online configurator for the track devil has been launched on Porsche’s official website.
Key option for it include the obvious Porsche ceramic brakes, a front axle lifting system so you don’t scrape your nose on the way to the desired trackday, lightweight headlamps and a lithium-ion battery that saves a few pounds over the standard unit. The stereo and air-con can also be un-fitted if you want to find those extra seconds in the detriment of your comfort.
A short reminder: the 4-liter GT3 RS heavy-hitter is the most potent normally aspirated 911 to date, with 500 horsepower peaking at 8,250 rpm. The power improvement is partnered with a ost of lightweight kit (carbon fiber buckets, front fenders, luggage compartment lid and "weight-optimized" carpets), which all played a role in the car running the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 27 seconds.
“This limited edition 911 is painted Carrara White as standard and emphasizes its proximity to motor racing by its dynamic appearance. Signature characteristics are the wide track, the low vehicle position, the large rear wing with side plates, central twin tailpipe, and the aerodynamically optimized body. Air deflection vanes mounted on either side of the front bumper – called 'flics' or dive planes – make their first appearance on a production Porsche. They create increased downforce on the front axle, and together with the steeply inclined rear wing, provide aerodynamics on par with its performance capabilities,” Porsche brags.
