Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, adds another member of the 911 family to its range of products. The new GT3 Cup S, based on the road-going GT3 RS sportscar, is created exclusively for racing purposes. The Weissach-developed and built vehicle will race in international champion-ships which run in accordance with FIA GT3 regulations.
To a large extent, the 3.6-litre boxer engine is identical to the power unit used in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup and the international Carrera Cup championships. Power output has increased by 20 horsepower to now 440 hp (324 kW) at 8,000 rpm. Maximum torque is up by ten Nm to 430 at 7,250 revs per minute. The power increase results from optimised engine electronics and a modified exhaust system.
In contrast to the GT3 Cup, the body of the Cup S is not based on the road-going GT3 but on the GT3 RS. In the wider wheel arches, considerably larger wheels can now be mounted. At the front, the rims measure 10.5 inches in width with 12 inch wheels fitted at the rear. The front section and flares are significantly different to the GT3 Cup components. An adjustable front-splitter generates more downforce at the front axle. The rear-wing is wider and positioned higher than the Cup version and provides more downforce at the rear axle.
Several suspension components for the GT3 Cup S have been taken from the more powerful GT3 RSR which races in the GT2 class at international long-distance championships. The braking system of the GT3 Cup S was adjusted to the increased power compared to the GT3 Cup. At the rear the diameter of the brake discs has grown by five millimetres to now measure 355mm.
The new GT3 Cup S costs 250,000 Euro plus national VAT and is scheduled for delivery to customer teams from April. Additionally, Porsche offers a kit to upgrade the 2007 Cup models to the GT3 Cup S standard.

Posted - 13/02/2008 : 17:26:01 Stuttgart. The Porsche GT3 RSR launches into the new model year with extensive modifications. The most powerful race car based on the Porsche 911, which last year scored wins at the 24 hour races of Le Mans and Spa as well as overall victory at the Nuerburgring 24 hours, competes in the GT2 class at international long distance races. The most distinguishing feature of the new GT3 RSR is the front end which received major improvements to the aerodynamics. The majority of innovations however are hidden under the weight-optimised body.
Aside from the easily recognisable additional spoilers on the front apron, so-called flicks, an optimised air ducting with newly-designed side air outlets generates more downforce and reduces drag. The rear end including the rear wing was taken over from the predecessor. Extensive changes to the suspension cinematics increase mechanical grip considerably. The range of possible suspension set-ups was broadened.
The 3.8-litre boxer engine of the GT3 RSR remains unchanged apart from slight improvements to details. It delivers 465 hp (342 kW) at 8,000 revs per minute and delivers a maximum torque of 430 Nm at 7,250 revs. The rev limiter of the efficient six-cylinder kicks in at 9,400 rpm. Much of the know-how in the GT3 RSR’s totally new gearbox has come from the RS Spyder sports prototype. The sequential six-speed unit, developed by Porsche engineers, is considerably lighter than its predecessor. Internal friction was substantially reduced. The flat angle of the drive shafts allows teams a wider range of suspension set-ups.
Aside from the GT3 Cup and the GT3 Cup S, the GT3 RSR is the third race car based on the Porsche 911 offered by Porsche Motorsport. Thirty-five units of the fastest and most powerful long distance racer made in Weissach, apart from the exclusive RS Spyder sports prototype, are now being produced and delivered to customer teams around the globe. The price of the GT3 RSR is 349,800 Euro plus VAT.

Essere fra venditori e manager vari che se ne escono con frasi del tipo "fra noi possiamo direcelo che vendiamo delle Touareg ad oltre 150.000 euro" mi fanno stare bene tutto il giorno
Senti spia, se proprio gli capita qualche affarone però fai un fischio, magari qualche Porsche Kuaba la vendono ancora Che so, un 996 GT3 MKII a km zero alla pari con un Carrera 3.2....

Posted - 11/02/2008 : 09:35:49 Già, è un tentativo disperato per controbattere alla supremazia che la 430 stà mettendo in pista... anche se in pochi ci credono
Le 430 gommate Michelin anche nel 2008 difficilmente avranno avversari nel GT...
A noi le Cup 2008 arrivano settimana 11... vi farò un degno reportage fotografico
E' una figata stare quà dentro da appassionato delle Rosse, una spia del KGB

Come dice l'articolo La macchina intera costa 250.000 € + tasse ed è confermato che ci sarà anche il kit di aggiornamento per le Cup attuali che corrono nel FIA GT3.
Carlo mi hai battuto sul tempo, l'avevo ricevuta ma ho dovuto prima metterla "dall'altra parte"
Comunque fa sempre impressione sapere che hanno costruito la bellezza di 265 Carrera Cup Ieri leggevo che alla 24h di Daytona si sono presentate 25 GT3 Cup in allestimento ALMS
Prima o poi le venderanno su ebay, tra 20 anni forse ce le compriamo |

C'è solo una cosa che non mi è chiara, ma questa Cup "S" dove incastra tra Cup e RSR? Per il FIA c'è la RSR e per il Cup c'è la Cup...e questa che fine fa?
Dovrebbe essere un aggiornamento della Cup.
Quindi credo che Sam sappia dirci qualsiasi cosa a riguardo. |
