Limited-run Porsche 911 GT3 R race car revealed: Check features
What's the story
Porsche has unveiled the '911 GT3 R rennsport,' a limited-edition race car, at the Rennsport Reunion 7 event in California. This unique race car features a 4.2-liter flat-six engine that churns out 611hp of maximum power and is designed to run on E25 fuel. With custom-made pistons, camshafts, and a higher compression ratio, the coupe can rev up to 9,400rpm. However, it's not street-legal and doesn't meet GT3-class specifications, making it a one-of-a-kind addition to the German marque's racing roster.
Design
The coupe flaunts exclusive 18-inch wheels designed by BBS
The 911 GT3 R rennsport features a striking design, sharing only its hood and roof with the GT3 R. Its fascia takes cues from the race car, showcasing reshaped vents. Traditional side mirrors are swapped out for cameras connected to cockpit displays. The rear wing, echoing the legendary 935/77 model, needs extra support braces due to the downforce it creates. The coupe rides on exclusive 18-inch 'BBS' wheels wrapped in Michelin tires specifically crafted for track use only.
Pricing

Its debut at Rennsport Reunion 7, an event honoring Porsche's racing heritage, further cements its status as a rare and valuable addition to the carmaker's line-up.
