Porsche’s 911 line-up is due to be updated over the coming year and in line with the changes a number of prototypes for the different variants have been spotted testing in and around the Nurburgring for the past several months. Several weeks back we saw what is believed to be official documents revealing details about the new Carrera and Carrera S models and now we have new video footage of the high-performance GT3 RS track special.
Like the rest of the facelifted 911 range, the new GT3 RS will get the same LED daytime running lights and revised taillights seen on previous test-mules. The car will also sport a cleaner front end with larger intakes in the lower skirt and a new lip spoiler.
The GT3 RS will once again based on the Carrera 4 body and should feature the same widened track, carbon-fiber interior and plastic rear window as the current model. Power levels should receive a slight boost over the current 415hp (302kW) output courtesy of a new direct-injection system. Acceleration times may also be improved if Porsche adds its new Doppelkupplung dual-clutch system, although a conventional six-speed manual is likely to remain the only option.
