Developed for Porsche One-make cups, the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is based on the 911 GT3 RS. The power unit featured in the 911 GT3 Cup is largely identical to the production engine of the 911 GT3 RS with the same output of 450 bhp and the same maximum engine speed of 8,500 rpm.

The weight of the racing model has been reduced significantly versus the lightweight road-going version. The new GT3 Cup features a 44-millimetre (1.73") wider body at the rear, providing sufficient space for even larger wheels. Wider wheel arches also at the front clearly show that the front wheels are likewise new.
