The spec sheet, posted on Axis Of Oversteer, claims that the GT3 RS will be powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six-cylinder engine that will produce 500 horsepower and around 340 pound-feet of torque. All this power will be channeled to the rear wheels by a seven-speed PDK dual clutch transmission. It also looks like the GT3 RS will incorporate torque vectoring and will have a wider track than the standard 911 GT3.
A “pit speed” button now makes its way into the cabin, reducing the car to the regulated speed when it boxes on a track day. Apart from the aforementioned specs and a few small details, there doesn’t see a vast difference between this new GT3 RS and the previous one, which is actually a good thing.
Those chomping at the bit to learn more about the GT3 RS were looking more to confirm or dispel any frightening rumors about a turbo engine ending up in their favorite naturally-aspirated sports car. While this information should bring them some satisfaction, they may still feel burned that no six-speed manual is being offered.

We don’t yet know what it will look like (well, we have some idea), but we’re talking about a 911 here, so any body changes will be quite subtle. A short wait until next week will confirm if the spec sheet is real when the 911 GT3 RS debuts in Geneva.
