The legendary German sports car maker, Porsche has just launched the next-generation of its stunning 911 GT3 at the Geneva Motor Show. The new 911GT3 promises to deliver motorsport-like performance thanks to its systematic lightweight construction. In the new generation of the radical two-seater, the connection between everyday driving and the racetrack is more intense. At the heart of the enhanced model is a 4.0-litre flat, 6-cylinder engine.
The extremely high-revving naturally aspirated unit with 500 bhp remains virtually unchanged from the thoroughbred 911 GT3 Cup racing car. A redesigned chassis with rear-axle steering and the systematic lightweight construction are specifically tuned to convert the engine power into superior driving dynamics. Developed on the same test track and manufactured on the same production line as the racing cars, Porsche’s motorsport technology has once again been incorporated into a road-approved sportscar.
The car also looks like a proper sports and track car. The dominant carbon rear wing emphasises the sportscar’s aerodynamic form. The lightweight front end and front spoiler have been optimised for an even better airflow. Further aerodynamic enhancements are evident on the lightweight rear end with exhaust air openings and on the new diffusor. The 911 GT3 is available to order now. It will be launched in India from mid-September, with a basic retail price of Rs 2.19 crores ex-showroom Mumbai.
