The 470 hp four-litre flat-six engine optimised in its particulars and was obtained in the preceding version.

Among the principal concentrates in building the 9 11 RSR was to reach a well-balanced weight distribution. The car's center of gravity can also be significantly less than in the prior version. Carbon fibre substance assumes a special importance here. The front and center console, front and back lids, the doorways, under body, wheel arch panels, rear wing, dash and back wings are manufactured of this extremely lightweight and sturdy fabric. Additionally, all windows are manufactured from really thin and light weight polycarbonate.

More support-helpful for briefer pit stops

Much more exact steering result, which results in better vehicle treatment in bendings at average and slow speeds, was achieved by optimising entrance suspension kinematics. Additional developments to the auto's structural rigidity effect in more specific steering reaction. Additionally new is the motor air induction structure, that has been optimised in its particulars, like in its air-filter geometry, which leads towards reducing the consequences of pollution on electricity result. The brand new FT3 security fuel tank using a lower centre of gravity empowers enhanced filling under race problems.

Live telemetry that's forever broadcast to the order station through the auto's roof antenna means that technologists are constantly well educated of all related vehicle information with more than 200 measurement values. Additionally, all information is saved on a storage device in the car.

"This is unquestionably the very best 911 that I've ever driven. It nevertheless constantly feels just like a 911, but nevertheless, it can do almost everything a lot better compared to preceding version. His teammate Patrick Pilet provides this: "Last time, we strove always to develop the automobile farther. The higher weight distribution, particularly, has received a good influence on operation. The 9 11 RSR provides the driver a better awareness of trust and is now more secure on the back axle. This enables the motorist to probe operation limits quicker."
