Porsche revealed the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The racing version of the road-legal 911 GT2 RS sports car is limited to a 200 units production run. It can be run at clubsport events as well as selected motorsport meets. The technology of the race car 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 mm wide rear wheels.
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport sees the rear axle is fitted with four-piston calipers and 380-millimeter discs
Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Motorsport and GT Cars said, "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,"
The positioning of the engine behind the rear axle ensures better 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 calipers and 380-millimeter discs.
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport will see a limited run of 200 units
Like the road-legal 911 GT2 RS, the 1,390-kilogram Clubsport version is equipped with PSM (Porsche Stability Management) including traction control as well as an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Thanks to a so-called map switch positioned on the centre console, these assistance systems can be adjusted separately or switched off completely, depending on the driving situation.
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport gets a safety cage combined with a racing bucket seat and a six-point safety harness
The carbon steering wheel and the colour display behind it have been taken from the 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 R model. A massive safety cage combined with a racing bucket seat and a six-point safety harness ensure maximum safety. Air conditioning provides optimal cooling of the interior.
The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport can be ordered directly from the Porsche Motorsport department. Customers will receive their vehicles from May 2019 at exclusive delivery events.
