Aerodynamics and design
The world-class aerodynamic design of the 2024 911 GT3 RS is instrumental in enhancing its high-performance capabilities. Every aspect of the sports car’s exterior has been meticulously crafted to optimize aerodynamic efficiency, ultimately enhancing its on-track prowess. Porsche explains: “The new 911 GT3 RS is set up for performance – thanks to increased downforce and revised aerodynamics. Using all vehicle data, including longitudinal/lateral acceleration, accelerator/brake pedal position and friction values, even the position of the rear wing and front diffuser are automatically adjusted to the driving situation in split seconds by Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) with DRS. Best prerequisites for the next flying lap.”
Additionally, the new aerodynamic wishbones in the front axle enhance downforce by reducing turbulence and optimizing the flow rate behind the bars. Porsche claims a substantial improvement of “up to 88 lbs at top speed.” According to Porsche, the wide turbo body, complemented by an air intake panel, plays a crucial role in fine-tuning the aerodynamics of the 911 GT3 RS while accentuating its sporty aesthetics. This design choice also provides space for wider wheels, ultimately augmenting the vehicle’s overall handling capabilities.
The new Porsche GT3 RS is the epitome of lightweight construction. Through the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, a curb weight of only 3268 lbs is successfully achieved. Porsche goes on to add, “The CFRP rear wing with active aerodynamics, CFRP doors for optimized wheel arch vents, and aluminum and magnesium lightweight forged wheels also yield significant advantages on the race track.”
