Porsche’s next-generation 911 GT3 RS will reportedly benefit from 50 percent more downforce, further stripping-down to reduce weight, and a bit more power than the current GT3.
The additional downforce is said to be accomplished via a completely redesigned aerodynamics, with winglets on the front spoiler and a wider body to accommodate a stretched track, unnamed sources have told Auto Express. The changes should allow the new car to beat the current GT3′s 3.3-second 0-60 time, though top speed will likely take a hit.
The new RS is expected to be offered only with the company’s paddle-shifted PDK transmission, like the existing GT3, though the gear ratios and shifting parameters will likely be revised for higher revs.
Porsche is said to be already testing the new RS, including laps at the Nürburgring. More details are expected to be announced as early as next month ahead of a summer launch.
