I'm partial to this monster RSR myself!

Do like the sound from the past😃

Next they will route the exhaust to the splitter and create a blown diffuser..
Lost interest, it’s wandered too far from the street cars.

Porsche was one of the last holdouts to use production car parts.
Miss the DTM, BTCC and 996 CUP days when you could believe that what they raced on Sunday was relevant to what you could buy on Monday.

A base cup car should be a GT3RS, driveline and all. At least the spec racer Supercups..
Best thing in racing relevant to car sales is the Clubsport series in Germany where actual GT3CS are raced.

Getting old I guess LOL.

I actually don't understand how they can call it a 911 with the engine in front of the rear axle... Is it just an RSR now? As soon as it became mid-engine it wasn't based off the 911 anymore in my eyes. Just me though....

They really are bar the transmission, although PDK sure makes it feel the same. Once you move up to an R and especially the RSR the gap between street and track widens considerably.

You must do such to be competitive in series like GTE-Pro/AM and the IMSA variants. Even Shebby has (had, now) their engine moved back a good ways from stock closer to the cabin for their GT racers to give it better balance compared to the mid-engined cars. And I think the C8 is mid engined too, so A-M will be the only front-engined holdouts for now, but they will be racing their Valkyrie hyper car in P1 and then I forget the stock number of the road car variant, but that will replace the Vantage-style racer here soon I'd surmise.

Once you start examining the motorsports part catalogs from years past, you realize that outside of some marketing materials from PAG, the RSR has never been anything more than a passing resemblance to a street 911. It might as well have been tube-frame like the rest of its competitors, they were THAT different.


This/Last year's cups are like an RS version of the street RS, at least when it comes to the engine. Some exhaust and intake changes to better match massaged cylinder heads? The engine has the most street-cred of any cup going all the way back to the 964. But other than that, they don't share much more than rear fenders.


DTM has always been F1 with fenders.
