The 911 RSR comes equipped with a powerful 4.0 liter six-cylinder boxer engine, delivering 470 horsepower.
The main focus of Porsche was to improve the aerodynamics of this vehicle, in the process giving it light weight parts.
Performance

Exterior & Interior
The new 2014 911 RSR’s front end has been redesigned in order to create a more stable and aerodynamic driving experience. The static front lights have also been shifted to a lower position to improve the driver’s view on corners.
The body has a significant amount of carbon fiber. This is seen in the rear and front wings, the panels, and dashboard.
Features
