Roock 997 Turbo RST 600 LM Commemorates Le Mans Victory

In celebration of its success at the 24 Hours of LeMans, German Porsche tuner Roock AutoSport has rewarded enthusiasts with its latest performance-modified 997 Turbo, the Roock RST 600 LM. Heavily retuned, this extremely pugnacious Porsche features modified turbochargers, remapped fuel and engine management systems and a titanium exhaust. A carbon clutch borrowed from Roock’s racing cars is required to handle the 602 horsepower and 611 pound-feet of torque that the RST 600 LM produces. A 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 212 mph are reported.

Roock says the stunningly powerful RST 600 LM is docile enough to be used as a daily driver, thanks in part to a retuned adjustable suspension and massive 380mm crossdrilled and vented brake rotors with eight-piston calipers. The four-pad design is new, and improves brake response while maintaining a high degree of controllability.

It wouldn’t be a properly modified 997 without enhanced ground effects, of course. The RST 600 LM stands out with a Roock-designed front splitter, rear diffuser and a rear spoiler borrowed from Roock’s Le Mans parts bin. Ultra-light racing wheels with Roock trademark carbon center caps are also fitted. The RST 600 LM features a pushbutton starter. The interior can be modified with carbon-fiber trim, and the console has additional oil and temperature gauges. Roock-exclusive four-point harness seats are comfortable enough for daily driving, thanks to adjustable side supports, while remaining track-legal.

Roock is the only German Porsche tuner with a headquarters in the United States. It currently offers modification for just about everything in the Porsche family, and will likely be one of the first out the gate with a modified Panamera as well.
