New 991 GT3 / Exclusive pics and information. ONLY IN RENNLIST.
EDIT: Additional set of pics here: https://rennlist.com/forums/10233901-post51.html EDIT2: small sound clip added here: https://rennlist.com/forums/10234612-post104.html EDIT3: First official specs and pics from page 58 https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...d-news-58.html 991 GT3 Date: 18 February 2013 Source: Unnamed Location: Unknown Information after discussion with the test driver and engineers and watching/touching the actual car It sounds incredible. Exactly like a cup car. Completely different PDK Engine is a bespoke motorsports block, and the basis for the next gen Cup engine. Dry sump. Yes, it's not the DFI 9A1 and it's not the Mezger. It's a new engine! - RPM to 10K, redline 9 dead, 3.8L engine. Power is north of 450hp but they wouldn't say exactly. - No PDCC, no PTV *at least not in this car - New rear wing, very similar to 997.2 wing, but up close it's more refined - Air scoop is beautiful, center feeding - Car is running Dunlop Sport MAXX, 245/20 front 305/20 rear - Car retains traditional 3 piece muffler, identical side mufflers as before but looks like a new, smaller center. - New brake system, front caliper is ENORMOUS, disc is alternating drilled size. - New recaro seats, foldable (not one piece), car was a Clubsport version fitted with the rear cage - Ring times are right around 7.30 - Center locks - ESC (electronic stability control), TC, sport exhaust, PDK-S (on the center console) - Wide body chassis from C4 - rear control arms look like the ones in the 997 GT cars More information (corrections) and perhaps a vid, later. Best, |
Very cool! Love to more about the new engine.

Looking under the car you cannot see anything as the rear is covered with a metal? aluminum? cover. Not sure if it's camouflage or part of a new aero package. For one more time, I would like to thank the fellow Rennlister that sent the information. This is the best Porsche community because of its members. :cheers: |
Not bad!

Porsche just won't let the horrible center locks go will they?
I'm excited about everything else. |
"Center locks appear to be unfinished"

PDK only = lost the plot

Thanks for posting. I'm curious on why they're going with 20's. Seems counter to what track guys would want.

Good one! I didn't think that a dfi 9a1 could rev to 8.5k either:)
|
Well there is always more cars like Izzone just bought.
|
Wow, sounds like a Cup car and revs to 9K...can't wait to hear it sing at VIR.
Regarding the rear wing, does it have active-aero (a pop-up Gurney flap)? https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-g...cir2.jpg?gl=US https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-I...cir3.jpg?gl=US |
Finally real "spy" photos and not some marketing exercise. Well done and thanks to the spy :rockon:
And for all those who bagged on me for installing bigger brakes over the years - here's a big FU. 9k redline- damn! New RS should be interesting. I see current used GT3 values at their peak right now. All downhill from here. |
my for sale
