Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus is fitted as standard and has been specially adapted to the new 911 GT3. It operates in conjunction with an electronically regulated and fully variable rear differential lock.
The results are perceptible, particularly at the limits of dynamic performance: greater traction, increased lateral dynamics and a significant improvement in driving stability under the effects of load changes in corners and when the car changes lane

What if I'm catching the car 3-4 times in a 100+MPH corner, how's the rear know where and how much? Or should I just pull both flappies in and wait for the car to settle 
really will have to drive it (over the limit) to understand this stuff. O and learn to left foor brake, back to karting brain config.

In any event, they will sell every one they make. And I'm sure some unscrupulous dealers will try to add a 'market adjustment'.
Perhaps the next one will be so advanced that it can go sub 7 minutes around the 'ring while you sit in the pits and sip a latte while texting. . .
Or have a gyro-stabilized cup holder to avoid spilling that fru-fru-chino!

Race Director
As the designated sports car for the race track, a dry sump oil supply continues to be used for the 911 GT3. This meant that the oil pan had to be entirely re-developed. Just like the base engine, the high-performance engine is equipped with four suction points in the cylinder heads, an extraction in the oil pan, and an oil pressure pump. The engine of the 911 GT3 has two additional suction points in the oil pan at the front and rear, so as to be able to safely transfer oil to a separate oil tank during heavy acceleration and braking phases.

Leave the brave "I won't get one" for the rest of us that don't do competitive beer weekends at the track.
Order one now and save face..

30mm of rear toe is an enormous range of adjustment. Even once you do the math and translate that rod movement to tire movement, the impact at low speed and through that 50 km/h transition will be entirely communicated to the driver's seat. I had the '89 Honda Prelude with 4WS. It was a great thing to drive (as a four pot screamer front wheel drive that was, in its day, lower over the front wheel arch than "a Ferrari" ... whatever that meant ... but it was low and handled remarkably well as a momentum car.) But it would be insulting to Porsche to compare the two beyond the connection of the basic technology. Porsche has had "kinematic toe" since the Weissach rear end of the 928 and improved to the point of being desirable in the 993, but again, it was swings and roundabouts because we were giving up the trailing arm "identity" of the 911 in the 964, to make the inevitable move to a car that did not demand finesse and throttle steering bravery from the driver. The more I pore over the specs and day dream through the brief videos, the more I'm confident in the decision to have ordered the car -- better to have an opinion, and make an informed decision about the car having owned and driven it, than to dismiss it out of hand as "unworthy" as the successor to the venerable 997.
