The GT3 is based on the 911 and boasts such high-performance hardware as a powerful engine, big brakes, stiff suspension and light body.

The GT3's origin dates back to the 1990s and is inspired by the auto maker's racing projects.
The heart of the GT3 is a revised 3.6-liter flat-six with 435 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. It has a light alloy design and VarioCam variable-valve timing.
Acceleration from zero to 60 miles per hour whips by in 4.0 seconds flat, on the way to a top track speed of 194 mph.
The only transmission offered is a close-ratio six-speed manual, which channels the power to model-exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in meaty tires.
Despite all of its power, the GT3 retains a respectable 14 miles per gallon in the city and 21 on the highway.
Porsche Active Suspension Management is standard.
The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake system is optional on the GT3 for increased braking power, reduced unsprung weight and minimized brake-fade.
The lights on the new 911 GT3 have also been completely redesigned, with Bi-Xenon headlights standard and optional dynamic cornering lights swivel up to 15 degrees to illuminate around corners automatically.
The front of the car has been modified not only for aerodynamics but also for directing air to cool the car's mechanicals. Indicators and LED daytime running lights are harmoniously integrated into the separate front light units over the outer air intakes.
At the rear, distinctive LED lights are drawn right into the fascia and taper outwards. Unmistakable -- just like the new fixed bi-plane wing.
The optional Chrono Package combines a dash-mounted analog-digital timer with a range of useful functions, such as lap or journey times, distance traveled on a current lap, number of laps completed with respective times, plus much more.
Other options included adaptive sport seats, auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensor wipers, a navigation system and upgraded audio system.
Another distinctive feature of the 911 GT3 is the central, black dual-tube tailpipe of the sport exhaust system to help set it apart from its lesser 911 brethren.
