You can develop a sportscar from experience.
Or from the heart.

power and higher torque, resulting
in 320 kW (435 hp) at 7,600 rpm.
The maximum engine speed is
8,500 rpm and maximum torque is
430 Nm at 6,250 rpm. Impressive
values, especially if you look at the
performance figures it can achieve.
A smooth six-speed manual
gearbox effectively transmits
this power onto the road. The
gear-lever throw is short and
the handling precise.
With regard to propulsion, two
values sum up the potential power
of the new 911 GT3. Firstly,
acceleration: 4.1 seconds from
0 to 100 km/h (62 mph).
Secondly, maximum speed:
acceleration doesn’t stop until
the car reaches 312 km/h
(194 mph).
You might be able to build a
sportscar with experience alone.
But never a Porsche – and
especially not a 911 GT3. That
takes much more: engineers
who are dedicated to the develop-
ment of race cars right from
the start. Whose passion is for
motorsport, above all else.
Engineers who firmly oppose any
form of compromise. Developed
from the heart. The new 911 GT3.
At the heart of the new 911 GT3
is a new engine. A development
from motorsport, of course.
An engine with more power than
its predecessor, but with a
similar level of fuel consumption.
The key data: a flat-six Boxer
engine located right at the back
for a low centre of gravity and
increased traction on the drive
axle. The cubic capacity has been
increased to 3.8 litres. The engine
has advanced VarioCam, a system
for adjusting the inlet camshafts,
and now also the outlet cam-
shafts. This gives even more
Improved driving dynamics and
stability are achieved with the new
optional dynamic engine mounts
(page 34). This system reduces
vibration and the movement of
inert masses in the power unit
by automatically modifying the
stiffness and damping of the
engine mounts.
