In reality, it has only ever been driven 20 km (12.four miles) and all of that was covered for the duration of pre-delivery testing at Wiessach. This signifies that if you have amongst $750,000 and $850,000 (the price tag the automobile is anticipated to sell for), you could get your hands on a reputable race automobile that is been never ever employed.

Porsche very first unveiled the 997-generation-primarily based 911 GT3 RSR in 2006 ahead of updating it in 2008. Various upgrades have been created to the 2008 model, such as adding canards to the front bumper and other aerodynamic alterations that improved downforce although also minimizing drag. Powering the automobile is a three.eight-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six churning out 485 hp and spinning all the way to 9,000 rpm. Mated to this engine is a six-speed sequential transmission driving the rear wheels.
