The new 911 GT3. The limit is the most exhilarating place to be these days. The final square inches have yet to be explored. And while this may be where others turn back, for us, it is only just the beginning \u2013 the start of a journey towards new sporty destinations. Indeed, two hundredths of a second are worlds apart. So let\u2019s get going. In the new 911 GT3. The first item on our journey checklist is an engine<\/a> that delivers greater power, drives faster and maintains composure You can only reach new peaks if you\u2019re willing to push your limits. even in the red zone. The innovative high- revving flat-six engine of the new 911 GT3 peaks at 9,000 rpm and exploits its 3.8-liter capacity to generate a power output of 475 hp. A glance at the stopwatch reveals 3.3 seconds from 0 to 60 mph<\/a>.<\/p>\n This makes the new 911 GT3 an even faster sprinter than its predecessor \u2013 by point six of a second to be precise. In motorsport, that\u2019s half an eternity. Top track speed isn\u2019t reached until 195 mph. The core competencies of Porsche were exactly what we needed, as well as the imaginativeness of our engineers. The result is a chassis that has been adapted specifically for the racetrack and, with rear-axle steering fitted as standard, delivers increased agility even on everyday journeys.<\/p>\n For the first time, 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung<\/a> (PDK) is fitted as standard, with short ratios designed exclusively for the 911 GT3. The shift throws of the gearshift paddles on the steering wheel are even shorter and gear changes are even more dynamic so as to provide even better acceleration. The rear of the new 911 GT3 is 1.7 in wider than that of the previous model. In addition, the track at the rear axle has been widened by 1.2 in, which improves lateral dynamics. The addition of 3.9 in to the wheelbase has significantly increased driving stability. Fitted as standard, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) helps to ensure even greater stability when cornering, while rear-axle steering provides extraordinary agility and more dynamic overtaking maneuvers on the racetrack. The new 911 GT3 explores the lower limit in terms of fuel consumption thanks to intelligent technologies such as PDK, DFI<\/a> and a low vehicle weight. All in all, the new 911 GT3 is a precision instrument, giving you everything you need to push your own boundaries.<\/p>\n Indeed, part of the brief for our engineers was to build a sports car that feels at home on the racetrack, yet can be taken to brand new sporty destinations by drivers who aren\u2019t able to tackle the Northern Loop of the N\u00fcrburgring day in and day out. The new 911 GT3<\/a> preserves tradition for the future \u2013 a principle that the 911 has embodied for 50 years. It aims to push the boundaries of what is possible, on each new day.<\/p>\n Clear rules apply at the limit. One of them being that a sporty design alone is not enough. Each detail must also serve a particular function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aerodynamics and design.<\/h3>\n
