      <p>You might be able to build a sports car with experience alone. But never a Porsche – and especially not a 911 GT3. That takes much more: engineers who are dedicated to the development of race cars right from the start. Whose passion is for motorsport, above all else. Engineers who firmly oppose any form of compromise. Developed from the heart. The new 911 GT3. </p>
      <p>At the heart of the new 911 GT3 is a new engine. A development from motorsport, of course. An engine with more power than its predecessor, but with a similar level of fuel consumption. </p>
      <p>The key data: a flat-six Boxer engine located right at the back for a low center of gravity and increased traction on the drive axle. The displacement has been increased to 3.8 liters. The engine has advanced VarioCam, a system for adjusting the inlet camshafts, and now also the outlet camshafts. This gives even more Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) ensures a responsive drive and superior handling. </p>
      <p>Everything that’s crucial for use on the racetrack can be adjusted on the chassis, including the settings for height, camber, toe angle and the anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles. </p>
      <p>Also, for the first time, the 911 GT3 has Porsche Stability Management (PSM) with two control systems: Stability Control (SC) to help provide stabilization within the limits of driving dynamics and Traction Control (TC) to regulate the longitudinal dynamics and improve acceleration on various road surfaces. Both systems can be disabled completely in two stages – for an active driving experience on the racetrack. </p>
      <p>One feature that has come directly from motorsport is the central locking device for the newly designed 19-inch GT3 wheels. The road-approved sport tires are designed to enable higher cornering speeds, as well as precision handling on the road or racetrack. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is included as standard. </p>
      <p>Everything on the new 911 GT3 is designed to save weight. The doors and front hood are made from aluminum and the new engine cover is made from a lightweight synthetic material. The result: a weight-to-power ratio of just 7.1 lb/hp. </p>
      <p>Even everyday use has been considered, with a new optional ride-height lift system for the front axle. At low speeds, the front of the vehicle can be raised by 30 mm if there is a risk of it grounding. </p>
      <p>Our approach to safety is as uncompromising as usual, in terms of both active and passive safety features. New compound brake discs with aluminum monobloc calipers and a totally reinforced but lighter braking system offer excellent performance, even in extreme conditions. The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is also available as an option. The latest in communication technology is also included with the new standard CDR-30 audio system or the latest optional Porsche Communication Management (PCM). </p>
      <p>The new 911 GT3. Developed from the heart so that you do not have to make compromises. </p>
