Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (991) SEMA

Porsche’s factory production racing car GT3 Cup runneth over with style and power.

There were a lot of amazing and memorable Porsches at this year’s SEMA. One of our favorites was the blue shock of the GT3 Cup that caught our eye. When it comes to track-ready perfection, there is no car like the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. Often called the 991, the GT3 Cup comes off the production line with pure racing DNA coursing through it. And at SEMA we got the treat of seeing a rare custom special edition.

But Porsche had more tricks up its sleeves at SEMA. Partnering with Shark Pro, Porsche introduced a custom line of branded shop cabinets. A sharp addition to to any Porsche lover’s garage.

A dream garage should definitely have the right equipment. And we love how these shop cabinets offer organization, as well as that cool signature Porsche logo.

The Club Blau color was developed by Porsche for the 911 GTS Club Coupe for PCA’s 60th Anniversary back in 2015. The sporty combo came back to this special edition.

The GT3 Cup rages with a 4.0-liter, naturally aspirated flat-six that produces 485 horsepower. The PCA edition has vented front fenders, carbon-fiber GT3 R mirrors, GT3 R carbon-fiber doors, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and a GT3 Supercup exhaust. And of course we love that hot rear wing.
