the new 911 gt3 rs and the 911 gt3 drive as little as 4.2 seconds in the 911 gt3 rs maximum speed in either car is 310 km/h 193 mph these systems are proven in competition use individual gear ratios and thus faster acceleration ultra-lightweight titanium all components in the engine cooling system are directly sourced from porsche motorsport they are therefore engineered for both maximum performance and durability connecting rods and specially lightened pistons help to further reduce the oscillating masses enabling a more dynamic freerevving throttle response the valvegear also benefits from technology originally developed oil is evenly distributed under all load conditions e.g high-speed cornering thanks to a dry-sump lubrication system with external tank see page 40 after passing through the engine the oil is cooled by means of a dedicated 3.6-litre 6-cylinder boxer engine adding to this potential is a variable-geometry intake manifold with two `resonance valves see page 42 wor

the new 911 gt3 rs and the 911 gt3 chassis steering precision at every speed the steering system is extremely direct and provides detailed feedback from the road this high level of precision is extremely advantageous in both racing and normal road use an important feature of the steering system is the variableratio gearing around the straightahead position the ratio is less direct enabling smoother manoeuvres on the motorway there is less risk of excessive steering inputs destabilising the car at high speed naturally the system provides excellent feedback as well as the usual agility as the wheel is turned harder the ratio becomes more direct and the steering more responsive this variability is particularly beneficial in low-speed hairpin bends the intermediate steering shaft is made from aluminium while the protective tube and steering lock housing are die-cast magnesium the result of course is an optimum connection between driver car and road on the new 911 gt3 rs the standard wheel
