Racecar 4.0

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:

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

Gasp. The GT3 gets updated underbody panels and an even taller rear wing, which helps it achieve increased downforce, approximately 20% more at 320kmh. #porsche #porschecentremalaysia #911GT3 #9912GT3 #911 #miamiblue #zerotohundred
