About the 911 GT3

The 911 GT3 is a high-performance sports car that doesn’t flaunt its 510 hp (375 kW) and prefers restraint. It weighs just 1,418 kilograms and comes standard with a six-speed manual GT gearbox. And for the first time, the Touring package can also be paired with a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission at no additional cost.

The most noticeable difference in the exterior of this sports car is the absence of the fixed rear spoiler of the 911 GT3. However, the necessary downforce at high speeds is ensured by an automatically deployed air spoiler. This element adds more freedom, as do the silver-colour trims in high-gloss anodized aluminum, which are located on the window frames and give a distinctive look to the sides of the car. The front fascia is fully painted in body color and the black leather interior is particularly elegant and offers a unique configuration for a GT3 with the Touring Package. The instrument panel and the upper part of the interior door panels are a relief on the roof.

Racing genes are present in almost every detail of the new 911 GT3. And for the first time, the driver can see the track instruments. With the push of a button, digital displays to the left and right of the center rev counter show your information down to the essentials: tire and oil pressures, oil and coolant temperatures, and fuel level. To do this, the 911 GT3 has a quick-access switch on the steering wheel that makes it easy to switch between Normal, Sport and Track modes. These modes are customizable.
