According to Porsche’s Director of GT cars, Andreas Preuninger, the hardest part about updating the 911 GT3 is keeping it as good as the last one. Emissions and safety regulations are constantly evolving, such that maintaining the 503bhp 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six and circa 1.4-tonne kerb weight was a significant challenge.اضافة اعلان


But what about making it better than before? ‘We can’t offer more horsepower due to emissions, but we can offer more sensation’ claims Preuninger. Read on to find out Porsche has polished the GT3.

What’s new?

For the first time in GT3 history the Weissach pack is available (for around £16k) and brings carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) components such as anti-roll bars, coupling rods and even the roof, plus there’s the option for a CFRP roll cage and magnesium lightweight forged wheels that save 9kg all round.

However, if you prefer the Touring version (this is also the first time that both variants have been launched simultaneously), a separate lightweight package is also available (stabiliser, coupling rods and shear panel on the rear axle made from CFRP) for a sum yet to be confirmed.
