Today at the Paul Ricard High Tech Test Track, Porsche have officially revealed the new GTE-spec 911 RSR, which will be raced by the works team in this year's World Endurance Championship. Based on the seventh generation 911, it features a longer wheelbase than its predecessor, double wishbone front suspension and a new lightweight gearbox. The only major component carried over from the existing car was the four-litre engine. The livery of the 911 RSR is inspired by the 50th anniversary of the 911. To mark this occasion, we have taken another look at one of the legendary 911 RSR racers of the past; the 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 to be precise. Introduced in 1974, this machine swept all before it and even remained competitive long after the turbocharged 934s and 935s were introduced. Our 42-shot gallery boasts five different examples including the car driven to back-to-back IMSA GT and Trans-Am titles by Peter Gregg in 1974 and 1975. You can also explore additional images on this dedicated gallery, which includes all photography of the RSR 3.0 from our event coverages. We are still rolling this feature out and it does not work for all cars yet but you can find the link in the cars' spec table under 'related articles'. Another great example is the 126-shot gallery of the Ford GT40.
Rounding off our coverage of the New York International Auto Show, we have also added the releases from the show's second day. Grabbing most attention was the new Camaro Z/28, which is a track-ready, lightweight version of the revised Camaro. It boasts a 500 bhp aluminium V8 and carbon ceramic brakes, while luxuries like carpets and air-conditioning have been omitted to reduce weight. Another new high-performance machine that broke cover in New York was the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG. Taking a page out of one of its main rival's book, this compact sedan is equipped with a turbocharged four cylinder engine and permanent all-wheel drive. Japanese manufacturer Subaru offered a glimpse of what looks like a very interesting future with the very aggressively styled WRX Concept.
