The Porsche 911 GT3 RS sets an impressive time on the Nurburgring
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS set an impressive time on the Nurburgring, the car clocked a time of 6:49.328 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
This new time is 10.6 seconds faster than the 911 GT3, slower than the previous Porsche 911 GT2 record.
“Today, the 911 GT3 RS delivered what it had already promised at first sight: absolute excellence on the circuit,” says Andreas Preuninger, Head of GT Cars. "Given the less than ideal conditions, with a strong headwind on the long Döttinger Höhe straight and the cool temperatures on the asphalt, we are satisfied with this weather. The 911 GT3 RS sets new standards in aerodynamics and chassis. Never before has a road car embodied so much motorsport.”
The 911 GT3 RS with the Weissach package was equipped with the optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires, sized 275/35 R 20 at the front and 335/30 R21 at the rear. The new 911 GT3 RS completed the previously standard shortest lap of 6:44.848 minutes.
"We lost some downforce due to the strong, sometimes gusty wind, but I'm still very happy with the lap," said Bergmeister. “In the fast sections in particular, the 911 GT3 RS is in a class of its own. Here, it's at a level usually reserved for top-level race cars. The car also sets new standards when it comes to braking. Fast laps on the Nordschleife are just so much fun in this car.
