Porsche 911 GT3 R

Following the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, Porsche unveiled the 911 GT3 R, a race car based on the international FIA GT3 regulations that succeed the 911 GT3 Cup S. Porsche says that the main focus on creating another GT3 Cup model was to offer better drivability and even easier handling.

The 911 GT3 R is powered by a four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine delivering maximum output of 480 bhp (353 kW) transmitted to the rear axle by a sequential six-speed dog gearbox.

The Porsche 911 GT3 R will make its world debut on Jan. 14, 2010 at the Birmingham Motor Show. Prices for the model start at 279,000 euros plus local sales tax/VAT.
