Stuttgart. Dr.-Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is adding a new model to the second generation of the 911 series: the new GT3 even more powerful, faster and more refined than its predecessor. In developing the most sporting and dynamic way to 911 with a normal-aspiration engine, Porsche has invited acquired a wide range of know-how in motorsport. Indeed, this is exactly why the new GT3 impressive, not only on the street but also on the racetrack.
The new 911 GT3 makes its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on 3 March, with European sales starting in May, the 911 GT3 offers an even higher level, central in two main areas: performance and driving dynamics. Now is the best six-cylinder develops a maximum output of 435 hp atmospheric (320 kW), an increase of 20 bhp more than its predecessor. This results primarily from an increase in the displacement of 200 cc 3.8 liters and the improved gas exchange, not only through ingestion, but published for the first time by the exhaust camshafts VarioCam.

Another important point is, that provides for improved power and performance, the boxer is also a significant increase in torque at moderate speeds, an advantage of particular importance in daily life. It is clear that this also means a further improvement in performance, the new GT3 accelerates from standstill to 100 km / h 4.1 seconds and reaches 160 km / h in 8.2 seconds. The top speed of 312 kmh or improve 194 mph.The second peak in the development of the 911 GT3 to an even higher level on the car was handling: For the first time is the 911 GT3 with a very sporty version of the PSM Porsche Stability Management, allows both Stability Control (SC) and traction control (TC off) in separate steps. And give the driver unlimited, individual control over the handling of his car, these functions are not automatically activated, even under extreme driving conditions, but only at the touch of a button in the new GT3 offers even better grip and stability even at high speeds, specific adjustments to the aerodynamics of the car more down-Krachten ALS for both horses behind such an extent that the total pressure pushing down on the car more than twice as large as in the previous model. At the same time, the new aerodynamic package, the GT3 is a new look is accentuated by the new bi-xenon headlights, LED rear clusters and modified air intakes and exhausts.

The active PASM suspension of the 911 GT3 beats Porsche engineers at the springs and stabilizers bit stiffer than others, allowing more detailed treatment in PASM sports mode, while maintaining appropriate ride comfort for daily use in the ordinary PASM mode. New, lighter wheels in a racing design with central locking and UHP (Ultra High Performance) tires with tire pressure monitoring system now fully functional and visual improvement of the GT3.
to increase with the driving dynamics and performance to an even higher level, the braking system, according to an old tradition of Porsche, is accordingly in the new 911 GT3 improved. The disks are now an even greater friction plate and an aluminum cover to further reduce weight. However, improved brake ventilation in turn ensures a higher degree of consistent stopping power over long periods of time. And as an option similar to the GT3 comes with an exclusive version of the PCCB ceramic brakes designed for this model.
Starting in the fall, the new GT3 is a different option to the car better suited for the track new and highly innovative PADME (Porsche Active Drive Train Mount) engine bearings available. This special engine mounts recognizes a particularly sporty, racing-style riding, the normally elastic engine mount hard and very durable. This preserves the comfort GT3 in everyday traffic, while on the trail of the car not by a mass of forces from the engine, otherwise affect in the fast corners and on winding roads.
Another advantage is the car for better traction when accelerating from a standstill.
Another feature is new on the new model is optional for the front lift system to handle the car in order to raise money for driving on rough surfaces or steep slopes – for example in an underground garage – at the touch of a button, 30 or just under 1.2 mm. ”
Euro base price of the new GT3 is € 98 100, German retail price including VAT and country-specific characteristics is Euro 116 947. In the U.S., the GT3 at the dealer in October will be at a price of USD 112 200 (RRP excluding VAT).
