The 911 GT3 is pure Porsche. It bridges the gap between road and racetrack, truly reflecting the core of the brand: successful on the race track, and usable day to day.

The new 911 GT3 strikes a balance like almost no other. This is all thanks to the completely new, six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline; the track-bred chassis; and systematic lightweight construction.

Using a four-liter flat-six engine, the 911 GT3 generates its power using the same powerplant as the thoroughbred 911 GT3 Cup race car. Developed on the same test track and manufactured on the same production line as the race car, Porsche's motorsport technology has once again been incorporated into street-legal sports car. As a result, Porsche's most successful GT sports car delivers a highly emotional mix of high performance and unfiltered driving feel.

The majority of GT drivers also like to take their sports cars for a spin on closed courses, which is where the new 911 GT3 really comes into its own thanks to a power-to-weight ratio of 6.4 pounds per horsepower. With a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) that has been specifically constructed, geared and tuned for the GT3 as standard, the two-seater weighs in at 3,153 pounds with a full tank of fuel and can accelerate from 0-to-60 mph in 3.2 seconds.

Large air intakes, typical of the 911 GT3, dominate the front view. Along with the new lateral air blades, these large intakes to the left and right improve the cooling air supply.

The new 911 GT3 comes with Bi-Xenon headlights as standard, including a headlight cleaning system. LED headlights in black are available as an option. The LED direction indicators, daytime running lights and position lights have a sleeker design on the new 911 GT3, which adds additional sharpness to the contours. Overall, the front of the new 911 GT3 looks more muscular and sporty.
