Here is a brand new video starring the Porsche 911 GT3, the exciting new sportscar of the Zuffenhausen-based manufacturer that was unveiled last March at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The clip features the commentary of Herr Andreas Preuninger, responsible for theGT3 Cup project, and allows us to appreciate the oustanding looks of the model as well as its remarkable sound, which really gets the blood running through the veins of every motorsport enthusiast.
The 911 GT3 is powered by a 3.8-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine yielding 475 horsepower with 438 Nm of peak torque redlining at 9,000 rpm. This unit is coupled to a dual-clutch transmission (PDK) driving the rear wheels via a locking differential that is enough to have it sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.5 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in less than 12 seconds, and reach a top speed of 315 km/h (195 mph). The engine is actually based on the same engine as the 911 Carrera S, although they share only a few common parts.
One of the highlights of the model is definitely its active rear wheel steering: depending on the speed, the rear wheels steer in the same or opposite direction of the front wheels, improving stability and agility. Contact with the road is made by new set of 20-inch forged alloy wheels, with center-locking hubs in place of conventional wheel bolts. The car is priced at €137,303 in Germany and at $130,400 in the United States.
