    UK Autocar this week, official pics of GT3RS

    Don't have a scanner but just flicked though it at WH Smith, the spy pics were acurate, they will be white with blue or red decalc, just like the old 2.7RS.
    However, the weight gain is only 50kgs and power gain 6 little hp, with different suspension, etc etc...
    I found that a little bit "just" no?
    Fanch.
    PS: On another level, the Z4 3L won the match vs the Boxster 2.7L. They are quite a few in Paris and London and I'm beginning to like it, although still not the back.

    Only 50kgs???

    What about sound deadening?

    Can you give us a little bit more information?

    The back... I can't stand the front and they understeer too much... hey I'm a Porsche guy, M3s are okay though

    Re: UK Autocar this week, official pics of GT3RS

    Hey Mobile,
    I didn't buy it, because, as a freak, I am obviously subscribed
    So it should be at my door tonight, I'll give you more info after I've read the article, it's quite short thought, but it has four nice pics.
    Again, sorry, you won't see those either as I don't have a scanner.
    There must be an british member on the forum with a scanner.
    Or they shouldn't be too long to appear on the web anyway I presume.
    Fanch.

    Re: UK Autocar this week, official pics of GT3RS

    Thank's Fanch.

    What`s the correct name of this magazine in the UK? Just "Autocar"?
    I will meet my colleague from the UK on Friday. He isn`t that Porsche enthusiastic as I am so he proberly will need the exact name of the magazine.

    Cheers

    fanch

    i regulary buy autocar, but unfortunately it takes 1-2 weeks until the issues appear at german newsstands!

    don't you have a digital camera? PLEASE just take a picture!! i'm so curious about this car

    cheers; zz

    Re: UK Autocar this week, official pics of GT3RS

    Yep, I can do that, I'll take a pic of the mag, but it'll look terrible!
    Fanch.

    Re: UK Autocar this week, official pics of GT3RS

    That's right, the exact name is just "autocar"
    A weekly mag that comes out every tuesday.
    Fanch.

    Re: UK Autocar this week, official pics of GT3RS

    pretty soon you'll be infamous for the ugliest low quality spy pics on the whole world wide web

    no more joking: i would really APPRECIATE it! thanks in advance; zz

    Re: UK Autocar this week, official pics of GT3RS

    it's a great magazine! the brits are great in journalism, i love "car" and "evo" as well. IMO a lot more emotional and more honest than the german magazines.

    here's a link with a frontpage picture of autocar. it's even the website where you can subscribe it -- although it didn't work some weeks ago when i filled it out

    Now I feel somehow relief...no photoshop job.
    I'm happy to hear that the pictures we showed are the real ones.

    Another thing: I got a mail stating that we "stole" the GT3 RS pics from another well known Porsche site.
    A little hint: we published 3(!) different GT3 RS pictures, on the other site only 2(!) pictures were seen before we published ours.
    We don't need to "steal" from other sites.

    not to mention that rennteam probably is #1 with the 'GT3 RS buyers' to 'board members' ratio


    Pics!!! Don't make fun of me though, they really are crap Q!

    Fanch.

    Re: Pics!!! Don't make fun of me though, they really are crap Q!

    A zoom tentative.
    Miserably failed!!!
    Fanch.

    Re: Pics!!! Don't make fun of me though, they really are crap Q!

    Fanch, thank you very much for your pictures!!!

    I like this car very much. It looks like a sportcar which is focused on racing, not so much on showing everybody what expensive car I'm driving. I like this black rear spoiler - and of course the GT3 RS-Sign

    Fanch I would like to ask you for one more favour. PLEEEEEASE! - Can you give us some Facts and Figures from the article like RC always did? What is the main difference from the "standard" GT3? What about the price? Did they write anything about the interiour?

    Sorry, but you're the only one who can give us the information right now. And I can't sleep without some more information.

    Pleeeeease....

    Re: Pics!!! Don't make fun of me though, they really are crap Q!

    The pictures are cool. Thank you for the snap shots Fanch. I am with Mobile, details would be awesome because I would like to know what makes the RS so different.

    Notes from the article

    Basically in a few words:
    Celebration of the 40th bday of the 911: 911 GT3 RS
    Official release: Frankfort Auto Show
    Est Price: Pounds85,000 (Ouch!!!)
    No Air Con
    No Glove Box
    No Centre Console
    Full Roll Cage Standard
    Electric windows remain
    NO Xenon lights
    Borrowed parts from the GT3 RS Racer such as Acrylic rear screen and carbonfibre bonnet, engine cover and rear wing.
    Carbonfibre doors and mirrors too.
    The RS is 50 kgs lighter then the GT3 Clubsport,
    Weight: 1360 kgs with a full tank
    Single Mass flywheel with a low rotating mass
    Power: 381hp (Note from Fanch: Careful, These are bloody British HP, which corresponds to about 390hp I think) at 7300 rpm.
    Torque: 284 lbft at 5000 rpm unchanged
    As are the gear ratios.
    0 to 100 kmh in 4.4secs, only 0.1 sec faster than the standard GT3

    Top speed 190 mph
    Lowered tuned suspension
    Same tyres
    Unchanged brakes
    Carbon Caremis brakes still an option
    250 to 300 cars production starting this automn
    Around 40 for the UK.
    Fanch.
    CONLUSION for Autocar: No we want an RSR!!!

    Re: Notes from the article

    I don't see any cup holders in the option list

    You know what really sucks?

    It sucks that some sources get the official press material much earlier.
    These are official Porsche pics, to be released soon.
    Hopefully we'll get all of them...

    Re: Notes from the article

    Thank's again Fanch.

    Hmm, 85.000 GBP that is 19.000 EUR over the standard GT3.

    Same Top Speed, same breakes, (almost) same acceleration, only 50 kgs less, ... not so much reacecar than I thought ...

    I didn' get ... there was a porsche guy who calculates 120 kg less at minimum... What happened...?

    Maybe we should wait for more information...
