The recipe for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0: A few pounds out a couple of pure PS - it sounds easy. Just like: driving some of the latest GT3 evolution. Quite so easily but then it's not.

Of course, the engineer gets itself in terms such as "bolt-on rather than riveted clutch pressure plate" and "intake manifolds with conical geometry" a glazed look. Latest on "forged pistons" and "titanium rods" shoot him in the eye tears of emotion.

But no matter how interesting the lecture may seem: it takes place directly on the vehicle. A limited edition of 600 copies 911 GT3 RS 4.0, to be exact - and the key is already in your pocket.

In whose brain turns the technology details liquefied far have high-octane gasoline and fully synthetic motor oil, the travels presumably with rollerblades on the Hockenheim ring and asks seriously, after a start-stop system for Porsche's latest racing machine with street legal. But here starts and stops the pilot nor the self-designed short-stroke boxer engine with 3996 cc engine.

Full passion, stripped-down cockpit

Heiser it starts, which occurs in the GT1-block from the rotating crankshaft Motorsport and RSR-R derivatives in the six-cylinder with a slightly bad idling granteligem undertone. In the richly orchestrated, but sparsely furnished cockpit are missing not only 1.2 kilograms foams under the carpets, but also the air conditioning system, which creates a cozy atmosphere in the black test car - the first frying at 30 degrees in the sun.

Overall, the GT-Force took place in the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 dispensable ten kilograms lighter than its 3.8-liter model. To carry the lightweight bucket seats with their part to punish one or the other meat loaf bread degrading too much at the hips as a model judge ever could.

First training session: Press the clutch (leg press), engage first gear (bench), allow to come coupling. PS The first to arrive protest march. Light saber rattling mingles with the boxer-bass and heralds only evil intentions.

With 500 hp in 3.9 seconds to 100 km / h

At 8250 rpm the whole set 500 hp at the storm, already at 4,000 rpm, the titanium exhaust system in the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, creating emissions-free rail and with hoarse cries drowned long ago, reminiscent of the old penalty bright singing of the aggregate. It continues with single-arm snatch, the transitions are between two and six turn. Precision was in the transmission specifications, not smooth. Why, that was in GT3 and GT3 RS will also be different.

Who is fast enough tears, with the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 from a standing start in 3.9 seconds, the 100 - km / h mark ... Yeah, already understood, in a Porsche GT-lateral dynamics plays a much larger role. Here you go: Lower control arms, tie rods and struts-rigid connections have ball-joints instead elastokinematic. The engineer says: Now the rear axle 20 milliseconds faster response to steering impulses. The driver experiences: a turn-in as precise as the announcement that this year Christmas Eve on the 24th December falls.

Ultimately direct Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

Like everything else on the four-liter, direct and precise penalty ultimately appear. He tiptoed tiptoes slightly oversteer on the line between this world and beyond the border area and share it to the driver through the steering at all times with the direction in which front and rear axle are now to be done. Minimal steering movements quite sufficient to perform the balancing act of elegance. Help and minimal movements of the accelerator so that the front bow and stern remain behind.

A valor too much, and thanks to the naturally aspirated flywheel toxic appealing provides as much power to the rear axle, that even tempered Cupreifen adjust their efforts to liability - and the efforts are great.

A total of 195 kg downforce generated by the aerodynamic package, according to Porsche , which employed the nine-degree rear wing of a corresponding lens, significant contribution. Rubber and asphalt go as a chemical compound that can be broken only by water. Long the driver also tears of joy roll down my face. Or sweat. Or both. In any case, much of it.
