    Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, Most Powerful 911 Based Racecar, Updated for 2008

    Porsche has updated their successful 911 GT3 RSR racer for 2008. Already the most powerful 911 based race car coming out of the Porsche Motorsport factory, the update boasts increased mechanical grip through a revised suspension and benefits from a swapping out of the 6-speed sequential gearbox for one more closely related to the RS Spyder prototype. The engine remains unaltered, producing 465bhp from its 3.8L flat six.

    The 911 GT3 RSR will continue to race in the GT2 class, last year it won that class at both the Le Mans and Spa 24-hour races. Porsche intends to offer 35 RSRs for sale. If you want one, write a check for €349,800 plus tax.
