The new 911 GT3 is approxi-
mately 30 mm lower than the
standard 911 Carrera. Its light-
weight construction offers major
weight savings, not least in terms
of unsprung mass, for exceptional
agility, a high level of safety and
inherent stability, especially when
cornering.
The front axle has McPherson-type
struts with the wheels mounted
individually on trailing arms and
wishbones. The springs and shock
absorbers have been specially
adapted for the new 911 GT3 to
ensure precise wheel location,
total directional stability and
excellent handling.
The rear axle has subframe-
mounted LSA (Light, Stable,
Agile) multi-link suspension, as
well as special shock absorber
coordination. Ride height, camber,
toe angle and anti-roll bar settings
can be adapted individually for the
racetrack.
Thanks to the very stiff connection
between the chassis and body,
there is reduced elasticity and
more exact wheel location, so
better handling and turn-in.
Ride-height lift system*.
Kerbs, ramps and garage
entrances used to pose a problem
for a sportscar like the new
911 GT3. Not anymore.
Now, our engineers have developed
a new ride-height lift system for the
front axle. The front of the vehicle
can now be lifted by 30 mm if
there is a risk of it grounding.
A compressor generates air
pressure that lifts the front shock
absorbers in PASM (page 42).
The optional lift system is activated
and deactivated by a button on
the centre console**. It can be

Front axle with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
operated either while stationary or
while travelling at a speed of up to
approximately 50 km/h (31 mph).
This is a good example of how
our race engineers still consider
everyday use.

** The lift system should be moved to
the lower position when the vehicle is
parked because the air pressure is only
maintained for a certain length of time.
