Performance

Brief for the new engine: naturally aspirated engine from motorsport, low down in the rear, six cylinders, horizontally opposed pistons. A full four liters of displacement. And high performance potential with unadulterated sound.

From its impressive capacity of 3,996 cm³, the engine draws a maximum power output of 368 kW (500 hp). With Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), fitted as standard, the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 3.4 seconds and top track speed is 318 km/h. With the optional 6-speed GT sports manual transmission, the time is 3.9 seconds. Top track speed? Not reached until 320 km/h.

VarioCam and high-revving concept work to provide high power and torque across the entire engine speed range

Dry-sump lubrication

Motorsport principles are also applied to the engine's oil supply. Continued lubrication is vital, especially at very high engine speeds of up to 9,000 rpm and under the effects of the particularly high lateral and longitudinal acceleration that can be experienced on the racetrack.

Seven scavenge pumps in total return the engine oil quickly and efficiently to the external oil tank. Together with a new oil pressure pump offering fully variable displacement, optimum oil pressure is assured in all operating conditions. This system provides reliable lubrication of hard-working components and increases the robustness of the engine under heavy use on the racetrack.

Intake manifold & Sports exhaust system

Intake manifold
In interaction with the sports exhaust system, the variable intake manifold in synthetic material and featuring two switchable resonance flaps helps to ensure efficient gas cycles.

This results in an impressive torque curve, a high maximum torque and high power output across a broad engine speed range.

Sports exhaust system
The sports exhaust system of the new 911 GT3 has two front silencers, two catalytic converters and one rear silencer, which discharges into the central twin-tract tailpipes. The large volume of the exhaust system reduces exhaust back pressure and thus increases power output.

Transmission

Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK)
Today, PDK is continuing to set standards – this time in series production. With gear changes that take place in milliseconds and with no interruption in the flow of power – for faster acceleration and moderate fuel consumption.

In the 911 GT3, PDK boasts an even sportier setup – with the short gear ratios specific to the 911 GT3 and the crisp, short movements of the gearshift paddles.

Optional 6-speed GT sports manual transmission
Six performance-oriented gears are available for you to select, with every single bite of the clutch also accompanied by a surge of adrenaline.

Chassis

For further improvements to driving dynamics, the new 911 GT3 benefits from a new chassis setup.

At the press of a button, you can select between two different modes. 'Normal' mode is designed for sporty driving on public roads and on wet racetracks. 'Sport' mode is specially tuned for maximum lateral acceleration and offers the best possible traction on the track.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV)
Providing unrivalled pleasure at every twist and turn.

Rear-axle steering & Dynamic engine mounts

Rear-axle steering
Fitted as standard, rear-axle steering combines performance and everyday driveability. An electromechanical adjustment system at each rear wheel enables the steering angle to be adapted based on the current driving situation, steering input and vehicle speed.

Dynamic engine mounts
This electronically controlled system minimizes the perceptible oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially the engine, and combines the benefits of a hard or soft engine mounting arrangement.
