The new 911 GT3 | Chassis
Steering.
Important for everyday use and
essential on the racetrack: a
steering system that responds to
every steering command directly,
with the utmost precision and
reliability. Just like the steering in
the new 911 GT3 with variable
steering ratio. For steering inputs
around the straight ahead posi-
tion, such as when driving on the
motorway, the ratio is less direct –
although still extremely agile with
excellent feedback. The greater
the steering input the more direct
– and therefore more agile – the
steering ratio. This is particularly
beneficial on tight bends.
The new three-spoke GT3 steering
wheel features manual height and
reach adjustment. It is covered
in Alcantara and the spokes have
a vulcanised grey trim.
Wheels and tyres.
The new 911 GT3 runs on one-
piece, titanium-coloured, 19-inch
GT3 wheels. Taken directly from
motorsport is the new central
locking device with GT3 logo. The
advantages over a conventional
five-hole screwed fitting include
better driving dynamics and per-
formance thanks to fewer rotating
masses and, of course, faster
wheel changes. A huge advantage
– especially when racing.
The wheel dimensions are 8.5J x
19 with 235/35 ZR 19 tyres (front)
and 12J x 19 with 305/30 ZR 19
tyres (rear). Road-legal sport
tyres provide the necessary
grip, although the lower tread
profile presents a greater risk
of aquaplaning on wet roads.
The latest Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) system is provided as
standard. Through the display on
the on-board computer, the system
gives a warning before the tyre
pressure becomes too low in
the case of either a slow or very
sudden loss of pressure.
