With a new louvered hood as it's visual difference. The car's radiator ductwork has been redesigned for the racer's preferred air conditioning system. They also included a developed supply system for a consistently adaptable blink rate of its front lights. Which makes it easy to identify when car pits during night time. The GT3 is also equipped with a new air jack and a much easier accessed oil filler which has been relocated.</span></span><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><center style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq202/carmania_pics/porscheGT3-02.jpg" target="_blank" title="2009 Porsche GT3 RSR"><img alt="2009 Porsche GT3 RSR" src="http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq202/carmania_pics/tn-porscheGT3-02.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq202/carmania_pics/porscheGT3-03.jpg" target="_blank" title="2009 Porsche GT3 RSR"><img alt="2009 Porsche GT3 RSR" src="http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq202/carmania_pics/tn-porscheGT3-03.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq202/carmania_pics/porscheGT3-04.jpg" target="_blank" title="2009 Porsche GT3 RSR"><img alt="2009 Porsche GT3 RSR" src="http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq202/carmania_pics/tn-porscheGT3-04-1.jpg" /></a></span></center><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Now that comprises the visual part of the GT3. Lets go to a much better topic, the POWER. The 2009 Porsche GT3 RSR is equipped with a 450 horsepower at 7,800 RPM (compared to last year producing 465 horsepower at 8,000 RPM) with a displacement for the rear-mounted 6-cylinder from 3.8 up to 4.0 liters. Same with last year's GT, GT3 is also powered by a 317 lb-ft of torque at 7,250 RPM. Porsche said that the new GT3's torque curve is well-optimized than the past model for better driving. The 2009 Porsche GT3 RSR will cost you at around $493,392.</span></span><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" ><u>Technical Description Porsche GT3 RSR (2009)</u></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Engine:</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Water-cooled, six-cylinder boxer engine; four valves</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">per cylinder; dry sump lubrication; individual throttle</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">butterflies; fuel injection; air restrictors 2 x 29.5 mm.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Bore:</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">102.7 mm</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Stroke:</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">80.4 mm</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Capacity:</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">3,996 cc</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Power output:</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">331 kW (450 bhp) at 7,800 rpm</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Max.
