Last Monday we have shown you the leaked spec sheet of the RS version of the Porsche 911 GT3, now it is official.

Major specifications are exactly as described in the previous leaked document:

– 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-6 engine, 500hp and 338 lb-ft of torque
– PDK transmission
– 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds; 1/4 mile only takes 11.2 seconds
– Rear wheel steering, torque vectoring rear differential
– Magnesium roof and carbon fiber hood and trunk lid, 22 lbs lighter than the 911 GT3
– US pricing: starts at $175,900, plus $995 for S&H

See the below press release for more details.

The Porsche 911 GT3 is an exceptional sports car that sends out 475hp from a naturally aspirated 3.8L flat-6 engine. But it seems Porsche is not going to stop at this, and today we heard a news that a hotter version, called “911 GT3 RS” is coming.

This is 25hp and 14 lb-ft more than the 3.8L engine in the 911 GT3.
