Motorsports masterpiece – explore the extremes of the limit itself.Sime Darby Auto Performance launches the new 911 GT3 RS in Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur. Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP), the importer of Porsche vehicles in Malaysia, launched the new 911 GT3 RS on 4th September 2015, at the Sepang International Circuit.

The fifth generation high performance sports car model was officially unveiled by Arnt Bayer, Chief Executive Officer of SDAP, together with race drivers Chris Van der Drift, Craig Baird and Alif Hamdan in conjunction with Porsche Carrera Cup Asia 2015, Round 9 and 10.

The new 911 GT3 RS breaks down the barrier between street-legal sports cars and race cars. It is equipped with the maximum degree of motorsport technology that is currently possible in a street-legal 911 that is suitable for everyday driving. Extensive modifications to its drive system, aerodynamics and lightweight design enhance performance even more than in the 911 GT3. With a lap time of seven minutes and 20 seconds, the new 911 GT3 RS even beats the historic record of the Carrera GT super sports car of just under seven minutes and 29 seconds on the North Loop of the Nürburgring.

“The 911 GT3 RS models have always stood for top sportiness and emotional appeal. Its direct correlation with motorsports makes possible uncompromising driving dynamics and an intensive driving experience. Never before has a “GT street vehicle” been closer to its Cup and RSR cousins, both visually and functionally,” said Arnt Bayer, Chief Executive Officer of SDAP.
