The gearing in the RS is slightly lower (by way of R&P) in order to adjust for the larger 21" rear wheels. The net change is a very slightly taller effective gearing in the RS (which also compensates for the slightly lower redline in the RS).

Some say (well AP did) that the crank in the RS uses the same steel from 919 Hybrid. I wonder if it's the same as the GT3. I get conflicting reports. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same, and Porsche announced that on the launch of the RS to further justify the crazy hike in price (yay for marketing!).

I find it amusing that the GT3 is not using this strong crank and revs to 9K,yet the RS is,but it's only revving to 8600...
