Porsche gt2 rs manual#

Introduced during the 996-generation 911's production run, the GT3 has always been a lighter, more hard-core version of Porsche’s iconic rear-engined 911 sports car. The GT3 RS is even more powerful, with 520 hp and 346 lb-ft. The ‘base’ GT3 and wing-less GT3 Touring, Motor Trend reports, use a 4.0-liter flat-six that develops 500 hp and 339 lb-ft, and revs to 9000 RPM. The Porsche 911 GT3 models, Roadshow explains, are the automaker’s ode to naturally-aspirated engines. Porsche 911 GT3 modelsĪlthough the new Porsche 911 won’t be going electric, its engines will be getting turbos. But, while the names are similar, the two 911s approach speed very differently. The GT4 moniker is reserved for the Cayman. And, for those interested in the highest levels of performance, there are the Porsche 911 GT3 and GT2 models. In addition to the Carrera, the modern 911 lineup includes the S, GTS, Turbo, Targa, Cabriolet, and AWD ‘4’ models.

And we’re not just talking about the different model generations. Gt2 RS comes with carbon-ceramic brakes, whereas the Gt3 RS comes with grey cast iron rotors.Although the base Carrera model is almost all the car you’ll ever need, there’s more than one Porsche 911. Both the 911 beasts get different front and rear fascias due to different cooling system requirements and exhaust too. They also get different calibrations of shock dampening, steering, rear-axle steering, and stability control system. The weight is another aspect where they differ. Gt2 RS has larger turbochargers, a better crankcase, unique pistons, large air ducts, intercoolers, and a unique WIS (water injection system).īoth cars have different power Gt3 RS got 500 hp and Gt2 RS delivers 700 hp. The Gt3 RS has a 4.0-litre flat-six engine which is naturally aspirated and Gt2 RS has a 3.8 flat-six twin-turbo engine. Why would Porsche ever release two performance-based cars which look similar? Let's see what separates these two beasts. Aerodynamics has been the main focus on Gt2 RS with spoilers, vents, and intakes which keeps this beast glued to track.īoth the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and GT3 Rs have been made to provide an experience of a sports car that can be driven on the tracks and on the streets. Many aspects of the aerodynamic system are taken in Gt3 RS from the mighty Gt2 RS. The striking air intakes on the aerodynamic front end and behind the doors are an indication of the huge demand for cooling air required in the Powertrain and an increase in the aerodynamic downforce at the front axle. Front hoods give fresh air to the front brakes. This car is provided with front and rear spoilers, which help in achieving better aerodynamics.

Ratios between shifts are very close keeping turbos in boost. In PDK sport mode every shift takes milliseconds, and it does with the authority.

Porsche gt2 rs manual#

Every car enthusiast likes manual transmission, but they might not be able to handle this surreal power. This overpowered machine has a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The optional package includes magnesium wheels which reduce 25 lbs, and other carbon fibre components like the roof, anti-roll bars, and end-links on both axles. The optional Weissach package is available in this model too.

This beast is lightweight, weighing around 3241 lbs. Gt2 RS also has the RR layout (rear engine and rear-wheel drive) without driveshaft or front differentials, rear wheels are programmed to turn opposites to the front wheels by 2.8 degrees.
