Porsche at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2018

Near standard and yet spectacular – the new #Porsche #911 GT2 RS Clubsport celebrated its world premiere at the #losangeles Auto Show. The 515 kW (700 hp) racing version of the road-legal #911 GT2 RS* sports car is limited to 200 units and can be run at clubsport events as well as selected motorsport meets. “For the upcoming years, our customers will not only race the GT2 RS Clubsport on track days but also at international motor racing events. We are currently holding very productive talks with the race organiser SRO,” says Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Motorsport and GT Cars.

The technology of the race car from Weissach is based on the high-performance #911 GT2 RS sports car, just like in the 935, which #Porsche unveiled nine weeks ago. Both share the same engine as their road-legal relative: a state-of-the-art 3.8-litre flat-six twin-turbo motor. Power from the rear engine is transferred via a rigidly mounted seven-speed #Porsche dual clutch gearbox (PDK) to the 310-millimetre-wide rear wheels. Like in all other racing versions of the #911, the driver changes gears via ergonomically positioned shift paddles on the steering wheel. The positioning of the engine behind the rear axle ensures excellent traction and braking performances. Six-piston aluminium monobloc racing callipers on the front axle in combination with internally ventilated and grooved steel brake discs with a 390-millimeter diameter provide excellent deceleration values at the front axle. The rear axle is fitted with four-piston callipers and 380-millimeter discs. 


The new #Porsche #911 – a design icon and high-tech sports car

Stuttgart, Germany. Porsche presented the 8th generation of the #911 in Petree Hall at the #losangeles Auto Show. “California is the ideal place to introduce the new #911. California has been like a second home to #Porsche for decades,” comments Oliver Blume, CEO of #Porsche AG. “The 8th generation of the #911 is even more powerful, even more emotional, and even more efficient than its predecessor – and also offers extensive digital features. And in spite of all the innovations, the #911 is still just what it has always been: a pure sports car and the pulsing heart of #Porsche: our icon.”
