Porsche 911 GT3 R rennsport

Porsche has unveiled a new limited edition racing car, the 911 GT3 R rennsport. Only 77 examples will be produced and will be available to those with deep pockets, as this car costs $1,046,000 million.

The Porsche 911 GT3 R rennsport is powered by a 4.2-liter water-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine with 620 hp (456 kW). The engine is paired with a six-speed sequential dog-type transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

The car will be offered with a range of customization options, such as seven different colors, opt for one of three exclusive paint designs or choose the most flawless color that Rennsport has to offer: pure carbon. It is equipped with adjustable suspension elements like the racing 911 GT3, unsilenced rennsport exhaust system, ultralight 18-inch BBS rims wrapped in Michelin tires. Customers can also get an exhaust system that produces less noise, which is a solution for use on tracks where there are decibel restrictions, and cameras and a special monitor in the cabin have replaced conventional mirrors.

Porsche claims that the 911 GT3 R rennsport is an uncompromising car for use on circuit tracks, but due to the small number of copies, many already perceive it as an expensive collector’s item that will occupy a special place in the garage.

A collection of 13 super cars worth over $50 million

We don’t often see large collections of expensive cars, because they are hidden from the eyes of the beholder. However, one collection of 13 super sports cars worth over $50 million is parked at the Los Angeles airport.

Driving by the airport, vlogger “effspot” recorded a video showing 13 cars hidden under nylon. It is not known who owns the collection, nor why the cars were left outside. Is the current owner transporting them to a new location or are they on their way to a new owner?! Either way, we hope they will not stay out in the open for long.

The collection consists of some of the best super sports cars such as Porsche 918 Spyder, two McLarens (Sabre and Speedtail), Porsche 911, Pagani Huayra, Lamborghini Centenario, Ford GT, Ferrari LaFerrari, Bugatti Chiron, Aston Martin One-77 and several

models .

2008 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR sold for CHF 680,000

In 2006, Porsche introduced the 911 GT3 RSR based on the 997 generation, which made its debut at the 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is the most successful racing car of its generation, built in a limited edition to win races. One example, a 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR that never officially hit the road sold for CHF 680,000 (around €709,000).

This car is finished in Carrera White and has only 20 kilometers on the odometer. In 2008, Porsche improved this model by installing a spoiler on the front, optimized air ducts that reduced drag but also increased downforce, and revised suspension.

The 911 GT3 RSR is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine with 485 hp (357 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox. The car has matching-numbers chassis, engine, and gearbox and is accompanied by an Automobile Club de l’Ouest LM GT2 technical passport, DMSB roll cage certificate, a 2007-issued FIA GT2 homologation form, and a Porsche Motorsport Datenblatt.

This car has had one owner since new and is a great addition to any collection, especially a racing car enthusiast.
