One of the focal points of development for the new 911 RSR was a more balanced weight distribution. Compared to the competitors with (front) mid-engined engines, in which all the heavy assemblies (engine, driver and tank) are arranged centrally, which reduces inertia around the vertical axis, the 911 is conceptually disadvantaged by its rear ...
