2003 Black Porsche 911 GT3, six-cylinder power unit and Red alloy wheels; at the Classic & Performance Motor Show at Hoghton Tower; Supercar Showtime June 2023
Porsche has sent its outstanding athlete to the training camp in Weissach, Porsche’s Motorsport Division, and in return has received an even more powerful, sporting and dynamic new Porsche 911 GT3 comes with all the features of half a century Porsche motorsport. It is a sports car for the purist through and through. A sports car with all the classic virtues a car of this kind is expected to have – and without all the ballast which might in some way impair your outstanding driving experience. It is a sports car allowing lap times on the race track one would never expect of a street-legal road car and, for the first time, is also available in the USA. The 911 GT3’s power-to-weight ratio clearly confirms that this horizontally-opposed six-cylinder comes in a thoroughbred sports car: kilos/bhp in road trim complete with fuel and the driver is truly outstanding. Featuring new, wider but nevertheless lighter wheels, the sports suspension not only offers even better longitudinal and lateral acceleration, but is also able to get the even greater power of the brakes on to the road safely and securely. As an option, stopping power is provided by ceramic brake discs also available from Porsche on the 911 GT3: Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes or PCCB forshort. The steel foundation for the bodyshell of the 911 GT3 comes as before from the 911 Carrera 4. To match the enhanced performance of this new sports car, the bodyshell has been further reinforced at all essential points, thus offering an even higher standard of passive safety and enabling the new 911 GT3 to pass all the requisite crash tests with flying colours. At the same time these reinforcements serve to increase static torsional stability by no less than 25 per cent, providing ideal conditions for stable roadholding and exact suspension control.
