The engine in Porsche’s new 911 can rev faster and offers even more power than those in previous editions of the car, it has been claimed.

According to the manufacturer, the power unit of the GT3 RS vehicle has helped to create the most sporting road version of the model ever.

The engine in question is based on the flat six-cylinder boxer variation that is used in the GT3 911.

However, although the new unit displaces 3.8 rather than 3.6 litres like its predecessor, it is also tuned so that it offers even more power to the person behind the wheel.

Buyers can expect an additional 15 hp, compared to the GT3 variation of the motor.

The RS edition of the Porsche 911 is scheduled to arrive in showrooms across the UK and Ireland in February next year.

Prices for the car start at £100,760.

Meanwhile, the manufacturer is to display the next generation 911 Turbo at the Frankfurt International Motor Show next month.
