Porsche admits its newest track tool is a rulebreaker.
The 911 GT3 R Rennsport was revealed at the 2023 Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California last night with Dr. Wolfgang Porsche in attendance. Yet Porsche’s newest race car is not eligible for FIA competition because it has too much power and downforce according to FIA regulations.
Limited to 77 cars, the Rennsport is based on the current 992 generation 911 GT3 R designed to in FIA or IMSA races like Le Mans or the Daytona 24, where stringent regulations regulate a race car’s weight, gearing, horsepower and aerodynamics. But the Rennsport goes further.

“The new Porsche 911 GT3 R Rennsport offers the experience of driving a 911-based race car in what is probably the most primal form,” Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Motorsport. “It combines the finest motorsport technology with a design language that is typical of Porsche.”
The Rennsport was designed by Grant Larson and Thorsten Klein from the Style Porsche team, sharing only its roof and hood with its donor car. Aerodynamically optimized, the Rennsports sports a rear wing derived from the Brumos Porsche 935/77 that won the 1978 24 Hours of Daytona. Due to the considerable downforce it produces, Porsche added additional supports. And it’s light, weighing a mere 2,734 pounds.
It gets its power from a 4.2-liter flat-six engine produces 611 horsepower to the rear wheels through a sequential six-speed gearbox. It runs on gasoline but is tuned to use E25 bioethonol and eFuel. The suspension is comprised of five-way adjustable shocks, unequal-length control arms up front and the rear is a multilink arrangement in the rear. Its footwear comprises bespoke Michelin tires on 18-inch BBS wheels.
The interior sports only a driver’s seat, due to the Rennsport’s roll cage. There’s no air conditioning; the driver’ seat is ventilated.
Limited to 77 cars, Porsche 911 GT3 R Rennsport will cost $1,046,000 plus, options, destination charge and taxes. Want one? Click here.
