How was the #11 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (24h Nürburgring) prepped?

I found a nice article documenting the build. They drove the car from Weissach, to the Nordschleife and back. The article was translated from German, so note the bad grammar.



from "sportauto-online.de"


Racing Car Porsche 911 GT3 RS Conversion

There is no need of two additional electric motors on the front axle, the gear pairs and multi-plate clutches an additional power of good and like to develop over 160 HP (or as a generator during braking are active), nor one in a fast-rotating vacuum 40.000/min, football-energy storage next to the driver's seat. Even on a highly complex power electronics could be waived.

The measures to bring a promising way to use our vehicle to the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring on 15/16. May 2010 statement in terms of sporting size leave one, were significantly less complicated, to say no to: a children's game in terms of new hybrid project, the Porsche in terms of perhaps the most famous, and certainly the busiest and hardest endurance race in the world from the hat has conjured up.

Porsche sent two cars to 911 GT3-base at the start

on one side so the spectacular and technically extremely demanding Porsche 911 GT3 R hybrid model that the new slogan "Porsche Intelligent Performance" the future ability and technical leadership of the brand to emphasize in technology and the sporting way to pave the hybrid. And on the other side, next to high-end Renner also works use as identified in combination with sport auto-deployed, as well as standard GT3 RS, as a first road undoubtedly benefit sports cars take may, for, as close as possible to the race to represent the .

This alliance is a certain logic, but it demonstrates a constructive and non-dogmatic discussion of what new technologies far. And this without the basic conservative ideas, the sports and racing cars in the future always and everywhere subject will only be considered to provide even rudimentary. The motto applies to all: who is at the front, is probably right, but if longer, can only win. The inflexible laws of both speed and efficiency and stamina rewarding long-distance arrangements should the VLN races in the run up to the 24-race galloping GT3 version should not be underestimated recipe counter have also - each of course his own way.

Hybrid model with extra power

there is the hybrid-GT3 R possible, such as upcoming overtaking the short term - up to seven seconds to - Cristal are extra power being able to call or alternatively use optimization to switch control electronics, are on the GT3 RS relatively simple lever, it will help to expand its spectrum of opportunities. But before the genes in its dynamic part can be encrypted secure Renntalent still tiny, it also says for him, first, to follow the rules.

slims 1350 Porsche 911 GT3 RS pounds onto

this one as the first extension of the series usually on the back of limited safety cage around a stable pipe work forward. The Semcon bought-steel construction is around 35 kilos about twice as heavy as the "half" cage before. Even the 20-liter auxiliary tank, the fuel-supply to the allowed 110 liters expanded and total race laps possible at least should, pay the extra two with the slightly negative weight balance of the 24-hour emergency vehicle when necessarily. 1350 pounds are still regarded as objective. The racing shell for the Cup model is also one, though weight neutral requirement of the regulations, as well as that of the standard front passenger seat-mounted rather than fire-fighting system.

based braking system of steel plates rather than ceramic discs

S-GO in 2400, so significant that the indicator white of-red racing talents, will otherwise all the natural evidence of a Series descendant bear: steering wheel, dashboard, door panels, interior carpet, and - in turn a mandatory requirement of the regulations text - the base brake system with steel wheels. Ceramic disks are not allowed, what responsible engineers behind the GT3 RS, Andreas Preuninger and Karsten Schebsdat sincerely regret: "We would like to prove that the approximately 20 kilograms of ceramic brake system on long-distance real advantages of easier ones."

That replaced a dynamic curve light, the additional lights. And for lasting good transparency is provided by a heated front screen, as in the RSR is used also. The rear side windows and rear window are standard in any case made of polycarbonate.

The crucial change is not surprisingly the tire and hence the Zentralverschlussfelgen, the (red) are painted correctly GT3 Cup taken from. The one veritable racing slicks and rain tires are essential for Michelin. They are available 18-inch dimension in the circumference due to the higher flanks slightly larger than the standard 19-inch model - which is why marginal Umbördelarbeiten rear fender edges are required to - Indicates point at the rear but significantly narrower Laufbreiten also: 270 instead of as in the series 315 millimeters.

testing for adaptation of the ABS and traction control systems

to the preservation of the perfect driving dynamic balance outstanding will be a large part of the still testing program be devoted, as are the sensitive adaptation of the ABS and traction control systems to the new tire combinations on the part of participating Bosch Engineering GmbH

areas engine, transmission, chassis, body and aerodynamics remain unchanged, the - and this from a simple reason: they are unlikely to improve their efficiency in. Okay: the spring rates have increased because of the Radstürze maybe something can be increased. The two hoods require even after quick. Finally, use is also the new, from Porsche Exclusive offer, only six kilogram lithium-ion battery discussed - but so that's it.
