carbon air outlet in front of the
front lid guides the air flowing
through the central radiator up
over the vehicle, thus increasing
the downforce on the front axle.
Immediately noticeable are the
front wings which are 26 mm
wider, enabling a wider toe angle
and the use of wider tyres. The
19-inch GT2 RS wheels have a
white gold metallic finish.
A further striking feature is the
black ‘GT2 RS’ logo on the side.
The rear with a carbon middle
section makes an impression.
And the carbon lip on the fixed
rear wing sits 10 mm higher.
For extreme driving stability.
For greater efficiency and more
engine power, as the speed in-
creases, additional air is pressed
into the intake channel through
the air inlet channels in the wing
supports. This ram air system
builds up the air in front of the
Lightweight construction.
Anyone who wants to go beyond
the horizon has to work on their
performance – and concentrate
on strength. The way to achieve
this is to make sacrifices. But only
with regard to weight. The new
911 GT2 RS is 70 kg lighter than
the 911 GT2. Its weight-to-power
ratio: just 2.21 kg/ hp. For excel-
lent performance. And with rela-
tively moderate fuel consumption.
This is achieved thanks to a whole
series of modifications. In parti-
cular, the use of materials that
are more typically found in motor-
sport. The front lid, the side air
intakes on the charge air cooler,
the slats in front of the front lid,
the rear middle section, the rear
spoiler lip and the rear wing are
all constructed from carbon. As
are the lightweight bucket seats
and door sills with the ‘RS’ logo.
The front mud flaps are also
available in carbon as an option. Instead of the usual steel, the
diagonal struts on the rear axle
are made from aluminium. As are
the fixed calipers of the PCCB on
the front and rear axle. The engine
cover, rear window and rear side
windows are made from a synthetic
material. In addition to this, the
new 911 GT2 RS has light weight
door panels with side pads and
door pulls. Throughout the body,
much of the soundproofing has
been removed and the interior
soundproofing has also been
reduced.
The lightweight single mass
fly wheel makes the engine even
more responsive. Weight has
even been reduced in the body
structure: there are no fittings for
a roof transport system and there
are no reinforcements for fasten-
ing the seat belts in the floor.
The battery in the new 911 GT2 RS
is also lighter. A lithium ion battery
which provides an additional weight
saving of over 10 kg compared to the conventional standard battery
is available as an option. The
lithium ion battery is inserted in
the vehicle and can easily be
replaced by the standard battery
for use on the racetrack.
In addition, you can opt to do
without the CDR-30 audio system,
the air conditioning and the
Clubsport package. To achieve an
even lower power-to-weight ratio.
Design.
Even the appearance of the new
911 GT2 RS leaves no room for
doubt: it is more powerful than
before.
Power is demanding. So, with
regard to aerodynamics, the design
has been aimed at achieving the
best possible cooling and the
greatest possible downforce. The
large air inlets ensure that the air
is directed straight to the central
radiator and the front brakes. The turbochargers. This relieves the
turbochargers, thus lowering
exhaust gas back pressure and
increasing engine power.
To sum up: a drag coefficient
value of only
0.34. Along with
increased downforce on the front
and rear axles. For better road
holding, greater stabilit y and
excellent handling. In short, a
design that fulfils its purpose:
to create awe.

Instruments.
The instruments in the new
911 GT2 RS are designed for
pure sports performance. They
provide quickly accessible infor-
mation and are ergonomic and
clearly visible – just like the rev
counter with a titanium blue dial
located in the centre of the five
round instruments. The instru-
ment needles and dial markings
are coloured yellow. For optimum
acceleration, the gearshift indica-
tor is located in the rev counter.
The integrated on-board compu-
ter provides you with information
on boost pressure, average fuel
consumption, speed and distance
lef t to travel.
Interior materials.
The materials used in the interior
meet the demands placed
on a thoroughbred racing car.
Alcantara, for example, which
offers exceptional grip and
easy-care properties.
So red Alcantara has been used
wherever there is hand contact.
On the steering wheel, gear lever,
handbrake lever and the door
handles. Also on the arm rests
in the door panels, the storage
compartment lid in the central
console, the roof lining and the
centre of the seats.
It provides a sport y contrast with
the otherwise predominant colour
in the interior: pure black.This sporting trend continues
with a material that is typical of
motorsport: carbon. The standard
lightweight bucket seats are made
from carbon and are covered in
leather/Alcantara. The badges on
the dashboard and the door sills
have a carbon finish and bear the
‘RS’ logo.
At no extra cost a black leather
trim with either red or black
Alcantara is available.
Steering wheel.
The three-spoke GT2 RS steering
wheel has manual reach and
height adjustment. It is upholstered
in Alcantara to ensure a good grip.
A striking feature is the yellow top
centre marking on the steering
wheel.
Lightweight bucket seats.
Fit ted as standard in the new
911 GT2 RS are lightweight carbon
bucket seats (page 32). They are
designed to provide exceptionally
good side support and feature
manual fore/aft adjustment. In
place of a thorax airbag, the door
panels have no storage pocket and
are padded. The lightweight bucket
seats together weigh only about
20 kg – for a noticeable weight
reduction. The seats are covered
with black leather with the seat
centres in red Alcantara.
Sports bucket seats.
Available as an option are sports
bucket seats (page 32) with a
folding backrest, integrated thorax
airbag and manual fore/aft adjust-
ment. The backrest shell is made
from glass and carbon-fibre
reinforced plastic with a carbon
surface. Depending on the
trim, the seats are covered in
leather/Alcantara in black/red
or black/black.
Adaptive sports seats.
Available as a no-cost option in
the new 911 GT2 RS are adaptive
sports seats with thorax airbag
(page 32). They feature electric
fore/aft, height and seat squab
angle adjustment and the side
bolsters on the seat and backrest
can be adjusted individually.
For the perfect fit to provide
side support when cornering
and greater comfort on straight
stretches. Depending on the
trim, the seats are covered with
leather/Alcantara in black/red
or black/black.
Completely free space.
