The 911 GT3 R Rennsport is a spectacular circuit car based on the new 911 GT3 R of the 992 generation. It has a power output of 620 hp, a carbon body, a huge rear wing, and an unsilenced exhaust system that emits an unmistakable roar unlike any other 911. Limited to just 77 units and sporting a million-dollar price tag, the 911 GT3 R will be a rare sight on the racetrack.
Top Gears calls the 911 GT3 R Rennsport "the hottest track tool Porsche has ever made available as a collectors’ item," while Car and Driver notes it's "too extreme for FIA competition."
Product highlights
The 911 GT3 R Rennsport debuted at the 2023 Rennsport Reunion in Monterey, California.
It will be a limited edition of 77 cars.
The naturally aspirated six-cylinder revs to 9400 rpm and makes 620 hp.
Only the hood and roof are shared with the standard GT3 R.
Great Looks
The Porsche 911 GT3 R Rennsport combines the powerful appearance of a high-performance competition car with modern design elements. Modifications to the racing car’s rear end, including the huge rear wing, have a particularly distinctive character. A light bar consisting of fine LED strips, which now incorporate illuminated letters of the Porsche lettering, characterize the overall wider rear section.
The Heart of a Champion
The 4.2-liter six-cylinder boxer engine of the 911 GT3 R achieves a power peak of up to 620hp and revs up to 9,400 rpm. This corresponds to a power output of as much as 148 hp per liter of displacement – most probably a record for a naturally aspirated engine of a GT racing car. The water-cooled four-valve engine with direct petrol injection has been designed to run on E25 fuels.
The power transmission to the rear wheels, including the sequential six-speed constant-mesh gearbox, originates from the 911 GT3 R with only minor modifications. Gear changes are made via steering wheel paddles that control an electronic gearshift actuator. The transmission ratio of the fourth, fifth, and sixth forward gears corresponds to the Daytona set-up of the GT3 racing car.
In the unsilenced version, the racing exhaust system with centrally positioned twin tailpipes offers an authentic and highly emotional engine sound. Two quieter versions fitted with silencers and catalytic converters are available for racing circuits with noise restrictions.
The 911 GT3 R Rennsport's amazing looks, performance, and rarity make it an instant collector's item, reserved for elite Porsche collectors only. The rest of us can dream of the day we're lucky enough to see and hear one in person.
