Orbit: 911 RSR (based on Porsche 911 GT3RS) news

Oh. My.

Press release...

This summer we are starting our dream project. After many years of building race winning Porsches for the track, we have been given the opportunity to build a track inspired car for the street. The very top of the line for a 911 body is the RSR as currently raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. What if we could have a brand new 997 GT3RS and then buy all of the original factory parts to make a street legal RSR - Nobody would ever actually do this - Would they???

In our possession is a 2011 Porsche 997 GT3RS in aqua blue metallic. We will take you along as we go through the challenges of building an RSR for the street to Porsche showroom quality.

Also, in the American Le Man Series, yellow headlights signify a GT car and white headlights signify a LMP car. As you would imagine, it's pretty important while racing at night to be able to quickly determine if the car coming up behind you is a GT car or an LMP car, and therefore how fast that car might be going.
