The reinforced bodyshell structure of the new 911 GT3 offers exceptional crash protection and an extremely resilient passenger cell. This protection is well within the statutory limits required by legislation for front side and rear impact.

At the front of the car, longitudinal and transverse members distribute the forces from an impact and minimise deformation of the passenger cell. A patented Porsche superstructure with a highly rigid bulkhead cross-member made from super high-strength steel also absorbs the forces from the front longitudinal members to protect both footwells. The reinforced doors help increase the overall rigidity of the vehicle. In a frontal impact, this upper load path helps to channel energy into the side structure and thus further protect the passenger cell. In the event of a minor collision, a system of easily replaceable impact absorbers prevents more serious damage.
