The Porsche 911 GT3 is yet another high performance version
of the 911 series that’s primarily intended for racing and still legal on the
streets. This 911 is named after the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile
Group GT3 that it was designed to compete it.
Porsche purists and critics were taken aback and dismayed at
the release of last years 911 GT3 void of a manual transmission. Porsche has promptly
responded to the outcry with an updated GT3 for 2018 that features the much
sought after transmission.
The 2018 911 GT3 will now feature an upgraded 4.0 L flat
that generates 500 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque and features an updated
valve train and a 9,000 rpm redline. The engine is paired with a seven-speed
dual-clutch transmission specifically constructed and tuned for the GT3, or you
could opt for the awaited six-speed manual that’s thankfully now available as
well. The 3,000 pound two-seater accelerates from 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds and
has a top track speed of 197 miles per hour.
The sleek body is as aerodynamic as ever with lightweight
carbon rear wing and front fascia. The front spoiler is optimized for airflow
to enhance dynamicity, and the rear end with exhaust openings and a new
diffuser contribute as well.
The interior of the 911 GT3 is classically sporty. Bolstered
seats are padded to hug you and keep you in total control during spirited
driving and maneuvering. The Adaptive Sport Seats Plus offer an 18 way electric
adjustment along with a power steering column and seat memory. Also available are
Full Bucket Seats with electric height adjustment and a fixed carbon reinforced
backrest.
The 911 GT3 comes equipped with the Porsche Communication
Management interface that includes a navigation system and the Connect Plus
Module with smart phone connectivity. This model will additionally feature the
Porsche Track Precision App- enabling drivers to track, display, record, and
analyze detailed driving data on their smartphone- the ultimate tool for
perfecting your track driving skills and mastering the full potential of this
magnificent beast.
