There"s good news if you"re of the slightly deluded belief that the new 513bhp, 6m 56.4secs Ring lapping Porsche GT3 RS isn"t light or track-focussed enough. This good news comes in the shape of the GT3 R: a track-only, single-street, stripped out racing 911 that"s based off the new road-going RS but sandwiched between the 911 Cup and RSR race cars. Being a thoroughbred race car, everything that can be massaged out of the road-going RS for more performance has. This means more aero, more lightweight and more power. Plus a monstrous wing. The GT3 R is built off an aluminium-steel chassis but the roof, front hood and fairing, wheel arches, doors, side and tail sections as well as the rear lid and interior trim are made of featherweight carbon-fibre composite. And anything that"s normally glass has been swapped out for lighter plastic options.
