The 911 GT3 R
is the successor to Porsches highly successful 911 3.8 RSR.
This water-cooled 996 based racer has proven to be a formidable challenger
in the GT category during the final stages of the 1999 season, which
marked its United States debut. The 3.6 liter six
cylinder engine develops in excess of 400 horsepower and drives through a GT2 six-speed
gearbox equipped with external cooling, pressurized lubrication, and a limited slip
differential. The carbon fiber bodywork, combining light weight and strength, makes
maximum use of current aerodynamic principles to provide excellent grip with minimum drag.
The chassis of the 911 GT3 R comes completely equipped with the necessary
components to comply with current sanctioning body regulations. Fitted, from the
factory, with a fuel cell, externally adjustable shock absorbers, spherical bearings at
suspension mounting points, electric power steering, and 380 mm., four pistons/caliper
brakes, Porsches newest offering will be a "turn key" race car.
The resources of the engineering and production departments at the Weissach facility
are totally committed to the production of a sufficient number of GT3 Rs for private teams
to mount a multi-car assault for Daytona 2000.
