    But the really special thing about the GT3 R is the engine. The sports car is built with 4-Liter flat six unit, that comes with direct injection and special valve timing  technology. Furthermore the engine is connected to a Porsche sequential six-speed constant mesh transmission

    The brake system of the GT3 R also received further modifications: the stiffness  is increased, the ABS is even more precise and the front six-piston aluminum monoblock brake callipers are combined with ventilated and grooved steel brake disc, that has a diameter of 380 millimeters.
    The safety features also received additional attention. The capacity of the reincforced FT3 fuel cell is increased with 12 liters, the doors and side windows can be removed and the escape hatch on the roof is now bigger. In the case of accident the bucket seat offers even better protection. Despite the fact, that the 911 GT3 R comes with wonderful safety features we all hope, that no one will ever have to use them.

  • Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid Version 2.0

    Porsche has introduce the upgraded version of 911 GT3 R Hybrid. Version 2.0 will hit the 24 hours of Nurburgring race.

    Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid Version 2.0 is powered by a 4.0 liter flat-six with two electric motors with combined output of 204PS (150 kW). The petrol engine delivers 470PS, which are delivered to the rear wheels and the electric system powers the front axle.

    The new GT3 R Hybrid has an aerodynamic optimization, which reduces drag and fuel consumption. The whole car now weighs 1 300kg, which is 50 kg less than the previous one.

    The steering wheel looks very strange, because of all the switches, but the driver can easily operate key functions without having to take their eyes off the road.

    “The emphasis of our work was on improving efficiency. That means we want to keep the lap times consistent with 2010 but use less energy, hence less fuel. In this way, we support future developments of road-going, sporting hybrid vehicles.”, commented Hartmut Kristen, head of Porsche motorsport.
