The Porsche 911 GT3 was unveiled 7 March at the Geneva Show in Switzerland

The model features a four-litre flat-six engine, with high-revving power unit developing 500 hp (368 kW), which remains unchanged from the thoroughbred 911 GT3 Cup racing car.

A number Porsche GT road car customers like to take their cars for a spin, and the new 911 GT3 gives them the opportunity to do just that. The vehicle offers a weight-to-power ratio of 3.88 kg/kW (2.86 kg/hp) its dominant carbon rear wing putting its aerodynamic form to the test. The lightweight nose construction and front spoiler have been designed to create an even better airflow.

The 911 GT3 boasts a new two-seater sits around 25 mm lower than the 911 Carrera S and the chassis also features superior handling characteristics, with active rear-axle steering enabled. The car steers either in the opposite or the same direction as the front wheels depending on how fast it's travelling, and in turn enhancing the vehicle’s agility and stability. 

The interior of this new 911 model has been designed to the specific GT3 driving experience. The GT sports steering wheel with a diameter of 360 mm originates from the 918 Spyder. Both the driver and passenger experience the dynamics in Porsche Sports seats Plus with enhanced seat side bolsters and mechanical fore/aft adjustment.
