The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0's exceptional driving dynamics occur from quite a few, meticulously coordinated facts. Along with making use of suspension parts normally encountered in motor racing, weight reduction is additionally of supreme value. Equipped as common with lightweight components this kind of as light but sturdy carbon fiber sport bucket seats, carbon fiber front fenders and baggage compartment lid, and weight-optimized carpets, the two-seater's ready-for-action weight is just 2,998 lbs (one,360 kg) using a complete fuel tank.

Signature characteristics will be the wide track, the very low vehicle position, the large rear wing with aspect plates, central twin tailpipe, as well as the aerodynamically optimized body. Air deflection vanes mounted on either facet in the front bumper - referred to as 'flics' or dive planes - make their first appearance on the creation Porsche. They generate enhanced downforce on the front axle, and jointly together with the steeply inclined rear wing, offer aerodynamics on par with its overall performance capabilities.
