Porsche GT3 RS: New $40,000 Performance Package

in #cars7 years ago

The new GT3 RS. Has a 4.0-liter flat-six making 514 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque, the GT3 RS is estimated to hit 60 mph in 3 seconds. and with a new aero kit, generate twice as much downforce as the regular 911 GT3. Considering how impressively quick that car is, I expect the new RS to be a Beast. But if the “normal” 911 GT3 RS isn’t enough for you, Porsche now offers a way to make it even lighter.

Its called the Weissach Package, this $18,000 option uses carbon fiber for the roof, anti-roll bars, coupling rods, paddle shifters, and steering wheel trim. To save a little more weight, components already made from carbon fiber such as the hood, wing, and side mirrors, are left unpainted, and the carpeting is also thinner.

Now for $31,000 extra you can save yourself 14 more lbs, if you choose the $13,000 magnesium wheels you can save an additional 24lbs. this may seem like an astronomical trade, Almost 40k to save 38lbs... but when you're spending close to 200k... eh why not?
