Most expensive car: The newest 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Last week Porshe officially presented their newest most expensive car - 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It promises incredible 450hp 3.8L flat-6 engine power, lower weight, an optional lithium-ion battery that saves 22 pounds over the standard unit, new purpose-built technology PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), shorter transmission ratios and specially set-up to further improve the sporting behavior of the chassis. Newest Porsche 911 GT3 RS provides the key ingredients for extending the unparalleled racing record of Porsche and sets the foundation for homologating the racing version of the 911 GT3.

The heart of the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the power unit, is based on the proven flat-six cylinder ‘boxer’ engine already featured in the 911 GT3. And unlike many other high-performance drivetrains, the power unit in the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS remains well suited to everyday use. Porsche 911 GT3 RS comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox - with a short-throw gear lever. To enhance the level of performance throughout the entire range of engine and road speeds, the gears have a shorter transmission ratio than on the 911 GT3, deliberately making concessions in terms of even higher top speed.

The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS will go on sale in the UK and Ireland in February 2010 priced from £100,760. Standard equipment includes a Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (VTS), a sophisticated vehicle security package approved to Thatcham Category 5 standard. Further technical and specification details will be confirmed nearer the on-sale date.Customers will also be able to explore the dynamic attributes of the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and further develop their own skills behind the wheel, courtesy of a Driving Experience Programme at the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone.
