The 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (997) is a limited edition of the 911 GT3 RS, with 600 units manufactured.

As its name suggests, the car utilises a 4.0L flat-six engine with an unaltered crankshaft from the GT3 RSR, which produces 500bhp at 8,250rpm.

The power output of the engine is the highest among any naturally aspirated engine for the road models of the Porsche 997.

Games[]

Need for Speed: World[]

The 911 GT3 RS 4.0 was made available in Need for Speed: World on September 7, 2012 as an A class vehicle.

The GT3 RS 4.0 has a grippy handling useful for high-speed cornering. It turns well at low speeds and has a slower responsiveness when driven at high speeds because of understeer.

In comparison to the 3.8 litre version, the 4.0 has less direct steering but more traction. It can keep up with most cars and has a strong nitrous boost. Top speed is 212 mph (341 km/h).

Players may find the GT3 RS 4.0 to be an effective S class car for multiplayer matches. However, it hardly stands out compared to most lower priced A [class [Porsche]]s such as the 997 GT2 and similarly priced cars like the Pagani Zonda Cinque.
