As teams around the world gear up for the 2019 racing season, Porsche adds a bit of excitement to the mix by unveiling the 2019 911 GT3 R. Based on the road-going 911 GT3 RS, this one is the track-only version that knows no limits.
Take the 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-6 motor as an example. It now puts out 542hp and has a wider rev range. Here, it is linked to a 7-speed sequential gearbox for lightning-quick shifts.
Apart from the engine, engineers worked on the brakes that are now larger and more powerful. Up front, six-piston calipers are attached to 390mm ventilated and grooved discs. Out back, four-piston calipers on 370mm discs. The wheels are likewise larger for added grip.
