Porsche 911 GT3 RS User Handbook Manual page 35

The gear ratios are perfectly
matched to the two 3.8-litre
engines. In the new 911 GT3 RS
the ratio of gears 1 to 5 is about
13 % shorter than in the 911 GT3,
for an even more dynamic power
development. Maximum speed
is reached in 6th gear.
Robust steel heat-resistant baulk
rings on gears three to five enable
a precise gearshift action even
under extreme loads. Cooling is
provided by an additional oil-to-
water heat exchanger and spray
lubrication. Both of these features
are essential for durability in
endurance racing conditions.
The new 911 GT3 RS and the 911 GT3 |
The lock factors of the locking
rear differentials that are standard
for both models – 28 % when
cornering under power and 40 %
when cornering on the overrun –
are optimally matched to
the engines' power and torque
characteristics. For better
acceleration and handling when
exiting a corner.
