1. The new 911 GT3
The predecessor GT3 set a high standard. It has won numerous media awards, come out top in countless head-to-head tests and acquired an ever-growing legion of fans. The last generation of this purist version of the 911 achieved an unprecedented level of popularity. The task of designing a successor to such a popular car presented the Porsche Motorsport development team with an enormous challenge. The result is a car that offers the perfect synthesis of race circuit performance and day-to-day usability. All of the virtues of the previous model have been consistently enhanced with the result that the new 911 GT3 is even better able to meet target group expectations in relation to performance and an emotional driving experience.

The larger and more powerful engine, the chassis that has been optimized in terms of its driving dynamics, the significantly improved downforce values and last but not least a look that is functional, yet elegant and dynamic, will ensure that the 911 GT3 remains the leader in its market segment.

The new 911 GT3 is based on the new generation of the 911 Carrera. The new 911 GT3 shares a number of other key elements with the 911 GT2 and its motor sports brothers – the 911 GT3 Cup and 911 GT3 RSR. The transfer of technology from motor racing to roadway is evident in the new 911 GT3, as it was designed by the same development team responsible for the 911 GT3 racing cars. The new 911 GT3 with its motor sports pedigree embodies the historical core of the brand. It delivers consistent sportiness, performance and above all the fascination of the world of motor sports.

2. The Main contents, Changes and Highlights
2.1 Design
The unique design of the new 911 GT3 is in keeping with its intended character as a thoroughbred standard production sports car and near-series racing car. Its styling communicates the enormous performance potential while also fulfilling all the aerodynamic functions which are required to realize this potential. In terms of dynamic appearance and dis-tinctive design, it offers excellent prospects for the continued success of the 911 GT3.

Front
The striking flared outer cooling air intakes are defining features of the new front end. They enhance the powerful appearance of the new 911 GT3 and ensure the required supply of cooling air. Their shape and design, including the vertical bars, lends the new 911 GT3 its distinctive character within the 911 model range. The slightly protruding middle cooling air intake extends up to the spoiler lip and forms a gentle wedge shape which enhances the car’s aerodynamic efficiency. The middle cooling air intake is further emphasized by the joint between the front end and spoiler lip. The spoiler lip has been made even more striking and supports downforce on the front axle with its continuous profile.
A further characteristic design feature of many GT vehicles of the 911 model range is the additional air outlet in front of the luggage compartment lid. In the new 911 GT3 it has been

redesigned and blended to the contour of the front end with two striking bars. The large opening signals the effectiveness of the air management for the central radiator and the additional support for downforce on the front axle.

A completely new and unmistakable style element of the new 911 GT3 is the additional air intake grilles in all air intakes. Their delicate yet strong lattice structure protects the radiators from damage and allows high air flow rates. Another feature of the new 911 GT3 is the new light design with standard Bi-Xenon headlights and optional cornering light. The design also features a new front light module above the external air intakes with new direction indicators and LED daytime driving and position lights.

Side view
The new 911 GT3 is instantly recognizable as belonging to the 911 model range by virtue of its classic 911 silhouette. A distinctive side view results above all from the fact that the vehicle is 30 mm lower than the 911 Carrera, from the muscular look of the fixed rear wing and the unique wheel design.
The new one-piece 19-inch GT3 wheels with center lock system have evolved from the highly successful wheel design of the previous model. The now V-shaped wheel spokes have a more pronounced spoke contour that extends far outwards up to the rim flange. This makes the wheel appear bigger, while the titanium paint finish in all exterior colors demonstrates high quality. The outstanding looks are further enhanced by the wheel bolt with center lock system, which is being used in the 911 GT3 for the first time. The titanium-colored, anodized central screw is a distinguishing feature with a characteristic shape and a unique association with motor sports.
The side view also features the new double-arm exterior mirrors of the current 911 Carrera generation. Their shape has been redesigned in order to increase the field of vision to the rear and comply with future legal requirements. Improved water management also means that there is much less dirt on the mirror glass.
