It has landed right here in Bangsar, the new 3.2 sec / 300km/h road racer. Porsche's newest, generation 991.2 911 GT3. Now with its wilder stance, squarer front and sleeker lines, the GT3 isn't a simple facelift effort to sell more 911s. Not just. Firstly, there's a new engine, the 475hp 3.8L is gone and replaced by an even racier 4L NA.

Keeping true to Porsche's NA = High Revving concept, the most substantial feature of the GT3 has got to be the new 500hp 4L. This engine will rev to untouchable 9,000rpm and is derived from racecar 911 GT3 cup. It include key components such as:

  • Stronger crankshaft for higher revs
  • Redesigned valvetrain
  • Oversized main bearing
  • Updated lubrication system
  • New Oil pump
  • Retuned plastic intake manfold

Fluid Air


Just like the previous GT3, the new GT3 shares its pumped-up body with wider brother Carrera 4/4S, which is bigger by 1.7" at the rear fenders. On top of that, the new GT3 gets updated underbody panels and an even taller rear wing, which helps the GT3 achieve increased downforce, clocking in at an unofficial 155kg at 320km/h. Also, there are new engine air scoops for better cooling.

Cockpit

Every GT3 interior comes tailored to its owner's specification. Firstly a 360mm steering from the 918 Spyder takes centre stage. Then, 3 additional seat variants are offered:

  1. Adaptive Sports Seats Plus (18 way)
  2. Sports Bucket Seats with folding backrest
  3. Full Bucket Seats made of carbon fiber

Probably the most expensive and the best manual transmission car that you can buy new in Malaysia today. Not as expensive as a Lamboghini or Ferrari but still able to give them a run for their money.

Omg.. I love those seats and rear wing.

Tom - your pics show LHD and RHD. I'm guessing the one locally is RHD?

yes, good thing they offer the choice, although I wonder how many Malaysians will spec their GT3 in manual

less is more = Europeans
more is more = Asians?

there's quite combination one can spec their GT3 too, pretty awesome

yeah the Miami Blue GT3 in the pic is a RHD, Wasn't the best atmosphere for good photos, but I do have some nice ones to be posted soon

Didn't hear about that being mentioned unfortunately, probably not

It is available in manual 6 speeders bro, just that the one in the photos is PDK.
yeah it's a no cost option,

in case anyone's wondering if it gets cheaper when one ticks the conventional manual box, it doesnt

Well, I guess it is for someone like you who is a heel toe technique connoisseur, Tom.

So this vs the also newly released AMG GTR, which one is better?

Probably this one for handling and driving purity?
Not quite, the AMG GTR is actually giving the Porsche a run for its money. A lot of reviewers are already very impressed with this car to the point that they are praising the AMG GTR for its ability to match the GT3 performance.

Is the GT3 better? Could be but not by a very large margin. :driver:

Hi Ninja,
I am currently using Titan on my E34 . Purchased by previous owner .
Two of them I believe it's leaking cause I can see some oil start accumulating .
Making the ride uncomfortable .

Since Titan carried two years warranty , how much does it cost to service it .

Do we need to make an appointment or I just can drop by and expect to get services by Q . ( first come first serve )


Thanks.
