Thousands of Porsche models from all years and 80,000 brand fans: Porsche celebrated racing history at the Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, Northern California (USA) over the weekend. Now exactly 77 customers will check their account balances after the party: If you are lucky and have the required budget of around 1.1 million francs, you can treat yourself to one of the most exclusive 911s ever with the special series of the Porsche 911 GT3 R. Rennsport, which recently debuted at Laguna Seca.

The technical basis of the R race is the well-known 911 GT3 R, whose six-cylinder boxer engine has a power output of 620 hp (456 kW). The naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 4.2 liters rotates at a maximum of 9,400 rpm and provides additional power thanks to its design for refueling as E25 fuel or regeneratively produced fuel. The former burns with less CO₂emissions, the second being almost CO₂-natural. E25? This means that 25 percent bioethanol is added to gasoline; This increases performance thanks to the higher energy content of bioethanol and the special pistons and camshafts in the engine. Refuelers, on the other hand, are synthetic fuels, such as the ones Porsche produces in Chile from CO2.₂ and produces electricity from wind energy. The R Rennsport’s engine can also run on conventional fuel.

amazing design

The design of the small 77-piece series is no less spectacular than the drive. All body parts except the roof and front hood have been newly developed. The length and width of the racing car increased noticeably, making it significantly more powerful. Rear wing, spoiler, wings and sills; Everything seems out of this world. The body shell is painted in metallic agate gray followed by carbon inserts that can be ordered in seven different colours, including star ruby ​​or signal orange.

Generous engine power is transferred to the rear axle via a sequential six-speed clutch shifting system. Gear changes are performed using the steering wheel paddles. The chassis comes from the GT3 version of the Porsche 911; Aluminum monoblock racing brake system with titanium carriers provides maximum braking performance. The particularly lightweight 117-litre tank ensures durability during the race.

hot bolid

The car is warm from every angle: instead of a very heavy air conditioning system, the racing version only has seat cooling as in the 911 GT3 R. Curb weight needs to be reduced to 1240 kilograms. Sound is provided by a sports exhaust system with centrally positioned dual tailpipes. If this seems too noisy to you: Two quieter versions with silencers and catalytic converters are available for use on racetracks with noise restrictions.

But the car has a problem: it’s not suitable for going to Beck – it’s not street legal and can only be driven on the racetrack.
