The GT3 RS already sports a 15-hp improvement over the outgoing model, so Porsche decided to channel rival Lotus' "add lightness" credo rather than go tinkering with the 450-hp 3.8L flat-six, though the company did add a racing exhaust. Instead, Porsche stripped out every non-essential part and dropped the curb weight to just 2,646 lbs.
The svelte curb weight belies several necessary additions, including bodywork pulled out two inches at the rear to fit wider wheels and tires, a ten-inch wider rear wing on taller stands, a new front spoiler and a set of 18-in wheels wrapped in Michelin racing tires.
The race-ready Cup car will be available to only 1,400 lucky customers after its debut in Frankfurt, and it will only be available in Carrera White. Each of them will have to pony up 149,850 euros before VAT, or about $213,000 as the case may ber
