The Porsche is ready to go racing in 2013, showing off a new 911
RSR today that is scheduled to compete in several endurance events this year.
Based on the current 991 911, the new RSR will compete in the 2013 season of
the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will not,
however, make an appearance in a North American racing series this year.
One of the priorities in the development of the new 911 RSR
was the more evenly balanced weight distribution. The centre of gravity is also
significantly lower than that of its predecessor. Carbon fibre played a crucial
role in the new design. The front and rear mudguards, front and rear lids,
doors, underbody, wheel arches, rear wing, dashboard and centre console are
constructed from the very light and strong material. Moreover, all windows are
made of particularly thin and light polycarbonate. Also contributing to the
weight reduction is the lithium-ion battery known from the GT road-legal
models.
