Its edge? Over 30,000 race victories in 70 years. Its drive? Our team of engineers, mechanics, drivers and fans all over the world. The new 911 RSR is the 911 for the greatest challenges. The big races, from Sebring to Le Mans. And the most uncompromising GT endurance car we have ever built. Born in Flacht. Its destinations are the most challenging long-distance races in the world. Its strength: an overall concept perfectly tailored to the requirements of modern GT sports. But there is more to the new 911 RSR than the combined expertise of our engineers. It unites the dreams of our fans, our passion for motorsport and the inspiration of all those who share sports car fascination with us. They have made the new 911 RSR what it is: a race car, created by us all, together. In short: the new 911 RSR – team made.
With the 911 RSR’s predecessor we introduced a change to the concept 911. For the first time, a 911 based race car used a flipped drivetrain. Since this revolution, we have been able to gather countless experiences on tens of thousands of kilometres of racing. Insights that we have applied to the development of the new 911 RSR. The expansion of the boxer engine displacement to 4.2 litres was just the beginning. Countless other improvements – all put through their paces– are hidden under the carbon-fiber reinforced body. Aerodynamically optimized, this lightweight body not only improves the driveability of the 911 RSR even further, it was also designed for quick changeability and thus maximizes efficiency in long-distance races. The six-speed sequential constant-mesh transmission, weight-optimized for our latest generation, features increased stiffness and durability. In addition, it's extremely short shifting times have been shortened even further. Also shortened: the exhaust system. Now opening to the side, its susceptibility to damage has been reduced greatly. Another element which proves: the overall 911 RSR concept stands for maximum consistency and endurance.
