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.
