Porsche 911 GT3 RS by KAEGE
The Porsche 997 GT3 RS was
(and still is) an extremely capable track-tool, although in this day and age,
all models can be subjected to some improvements.
The owner commissioned KAEGE GmbH to come up with a track weapon
that could also remain relevant as a roadworthy car. Bear in mind though that
this Porsche is scheduled to receive a 520 PS 4.3-litre engine swap later this
year, but for now, KAEGE focused its knowledge on making it more unique and
faster by shaving some weight.
After M + M muffler
system with fan type exhaust manifold and 200 cell cats was installed, the car
gained an extra 8 PS and lost 7 Kg of weight at the same time. Another 7 PS
were purportedly gained via a carbon-fiber air box.
KAEGE even changed the
hydraulic pump and its position (from the rear to the front) with an electrical
power steering rig in order to optimize the vehicle’s weight distribution.
Additional modifications
include a CAE short shifter, 9x19/12.5x19 BBS rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot
Sport Cup 2 tires (which reduce the unsprung mass by 9 Kg, while making the car
look like a full-on racer), plus an aluminum made triple KW competition
suspension and a Liteblox lithium-ion battery which shave an additional 15 Kg
off the machine.
The interior, on the other
hand, received a retro-style checkered fabric upholstery and a steering wheel
taken off 4-litre GT3 variant. Completing the customizations are a travel and
helmet bag, matching the new interior.
