The Porsche 911 GT3 RSR was launched in the 1999 Geneva Motor show and the car was a direct descendant of the super cup winner and racing car. Possibly the only thing that was different was the wheels.
The reason was not only a commercial aspect for the car makers to get the vehicle on road other than the race tracks. There was a lot of demand for the car even before it was made for on road purpose. Soon after the first lot was all sold out there was more demand and there were more cars produced in the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR category.
A lot of aspects were based on the old Porsche 993 RSR too for the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, and also astonishingly the only real competition to the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR was its own sibling the old Porsche 993 RSR. Isn’t it amazing to have your own breed better or the best. That means the family leads the pack and you rule. Porsche has certainly ruled the track for years with models after models being super efficient. After the 1999 success there were improvised versions in 2001 and 2003.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RSR is after many such improvements and to sustain the demand they have finally released this version which is super than all of them put together.
Hi this type of 911 I have never heard of, and it is beautiful. Well lets get started, it was made by porche of course. But it costs over $112,200 that’s pretty cheap (for a prche). It has a top speed of a desent 193 MPH (31o KMH), and has a OK engine, a 3.6L 415 hp H6.
The production was from 1999-2005, it also has a 6 speed manual trnsmission. I’ve never included this in any of my posts wheel base. The wheel base is 92.7 in (2355 mm), and has a height of 50.2 in (1275 mm), and a length of 174.6 in (4435 mm).

Long-Wheelbase Porsche Panamera Confirmed for Launch in 2012
0 comments Posted by erwan.safrinal7 at 4:59 PM
The unnamed sources stated that the Panamera LWB will gain a 150mm (5.9-inches) wheelbase extension for a total length of 3,070mm (120.8-inches). The additional space is said to benefit the rear passengers.
Aside from the very un-Porsche limo, it is also reported that the Panamera will receive its first facelift in 2013, and that the German sports carmaker is contemplating the development of a smaller sedan model, allegedly called Pajun (we guess the name is inspired by the Cajun small SUV), to slot right under the company's full size sedan model.
And yes, we're still talking about Porsche, the famous German company from Stuttgart that was once known and praised by enthusiasts only for its thoroughbred sports cars.

The newest CTR3 continues to use the Porsche 911-derived 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine, but thanks to a series of modifications, output has been boosted from 691bhp and 890Nm (657 lb-ft) to 750bhp and 960 Nm (708 lb-ft) of peak torque.
The more powerful CTR3 accelerates from standstill to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds and to 125 mph (200 km) in 9.6 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 236 mph (380 km/h).
Power is channeled to the rear wheels through a sequential shift 6-speed transmission and limited slip differential.
The supercar's chassis is a space frame with a modular construction while the company's RUF Integrated Roll Cage protects the passengers. Apart from the doors and the front hood, which are made from aluminum, the rest of the body is made out of Kevlar-carbon composite.
The CTR3 also gets 380 mm brakes with 6-piston calipers all around and a specially designed Bosch ABS, while it rolls on 255/35 ZR19 front and 335/30 ZR20 rear tires.
Pricing of the updated CTR3 has not been announced.

We�ll just remind you that the next generation of the 911 is due to be unveiled in a world premiere at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show in mid-September.
The most famous Porsche model series of all, will mostly likely be offered in two basic flavors at launch, the Carrera with a 350HP 3.4-liter flat-six and the Carrera S powered by a 3.8-liter boxer delivering around 400 ponies.
A key highlight of the new model is a new seven-speed manual gearbox that joins Porsche�s 7-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The public will have its first chance to see the new 911, codenamed 991, at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show in September. What we know up until now is that, the 911 will look like, well, a 911 � don�t forget, it�s all about evolution when it comes to Porsche's most famous model.
However, the next 911 is slightly bigger and roomier yet lighter than today�s version, and will be available with more fuel efficient and greener engines including a smaller displacement 3.4-liter flat-six with 350HP for the Carrera /4, and a 3.8-liter flat-six producing 400-horses for the Carrera S/4S,
The two launch models will be offered with a new 7-speed manual gearbox and a 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission.
The new 911�s lineup will eventually grow to include several body styles such as the Convertible, Targa and most likely a Speedster, as well numerous models and special editions like the Turbo, Turbo S, the GT series and more.

You see, the 911 GT1 Stra�enversion is the fully road-legal version of Porsche�s 1997 GT1 race car, While based on the 993, it features many modifications including a bespoke carbon-fiber body made to improve aerodynamics and lower the car's weight, and a detuned version of the competition model�s turbocharged flat-six engine delivering some 540 horses.
And now, one of the very few examples that were built to homologate Porsche's 911 GT1 contender in the late 1990s (Porsche is said to have built around 20 cars) is up for sale on a German site with an asking price of �1.2 million or about US$1.7 million.
Notably, the seller says the car is located in Tokyo, Japan, but will deliver anywhere, and that the car�s engine is rated at 700-horses.

Can't wait to see this new body revealed.
Saturday, July 16, 2011
Bernhard Maier, Porsche Board of Management Member for Sales and Marketing, was naturally more than satisfied with sales results: �We managed to increase our deliveries significantly again in June.�
�This is accompanied by better-than-expected sales figures. The significant increase in new vehicle orders, especially for our front-engined sports cars, Cayenne and Panamera, also gives grounds for anticipating good sales figures in the coming months�, he added.
In June, Porsche saw its sales increase worldwide. In China, they quadrupled (!) to 2,423 cars compared to June 2010, in Russia the rise reached 63.6% and in the US the growth was 18.9%. Only in Germany its sales of 1,344 units were almost the same as last year�s.
The Cayenne was the best seller of the range, with first half of the year sales doubling to 30,055 cars, 4,994 of which were delivered in June alone.
Second best in June was the Panamera with 2,318 sales (+14.1%) followed by the soon to be replaced 911 (2,015 cars, +1%) and the Boxster/Cayman duo with 1,350 cars (+6.5%).
