Porsche 911 GT3 RS User Handbook Manual page 14

No illusions. No compromises.
Nothing but the truth.
The new 911 GT3 RS.
A new RS? Didn't we reach the
pinnacle with the last model? But
we couldn't stop thinking about it.
It kindled our ambition. We defined
a performance level that seemed
impossible even for a 911 GT3 RS.
Now we know better.
Based on the 911 GT3, it had
the best starting point. The task
set for our engineers was clearly
defined: more power, higher
performance and faster lap times.
To increase engine power, the air
intake system was reviewed and
improved using a new air filter.
The result is a vehicle for maxi-
mum performance powered by
a six-cylinder Boxer engine with
3.8-liter displacement and enhan-
ced VarioCam timing (page 36).
