Porsche 911 GT3 R Receiving "Extensive Changes" for 2013...

German manufacturer Porsche has revealed an updated 911 GTR R, which is based on the 997 model generation, for the 2013 motorsport season.
 
Improved by a series of "extensive changes", the 2013 911 GT3 R is reportedly more agile, allowing higher cornering speeds and later braking points. In addition, the sportscar generates more downforce and has more traction, thanks to a new aerodynamic package and wider tires.
 
While the wheelbase grew by ten millimeters and the suspension also underwent modifications, with 50 millimeters wider axles, the 2012 season engine remained untouched. This means customer will have the same 500 HP coming from the 4.0-liter flat-six to take to the track, connected, of course, to a 6-speed sequential dog-type gearbox.
 
The update is also available as a kit which customer teams can use to convert their older 911 GT3 R models for $59,236 (EUR 45,500) plus value added tax.
