Speed is critical in the cockpit, too. The driver needs information that can be accessed quickly and an interior ergonomics concept that enables even faster use of it.

The requirement is fulfilled by an ascending center console that places the gear selector within direct reach of the steering wheel, by ergonomic gearshift paddles on the steering wheel itself and by conveniently positioned controls that dispense with unnecessary gadgetry but do open up new possibilities on the racetrack. 30,000 racing victories were not achieved by engine power alone.

Durability, stability and resilience. These are the essential ingredients for materials in a

sporty environment. It is an environment dominated by Alcantara (R), leather and interior parts in Galvano Silver as well as brushed aluminum. Here, materials must be practical – and top quality. The fact that they also have the motorsport feel is a welcome bonus.

Alcantara is easy to grip and maintain. For this reason, it is mainly found in places where there is direct contact: on the steering wheel rim and gear selector as well as on the door handles, door armrests and lid of the center console storage compartment. The rooflining and C-pillar trims are also finished in Alcantara.

Available as an option, Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is your control center for audio, navigation and communication functions. The main feature is the intuitive seven-inch touchscreen.

Radio functions include up to 42 memory presets and an FM dual tuner with RDS diversity. The CD/DVD drive plays CDs and audio DVDs and is MP3-compatible. With the universal audio interface (USB) in the glove compartment, you can connect your iPod® or any other compatible audio source of your choice. By means of the USB socket, it is also possible to download data from the performance display of the Sport Chrono Package, as well as data from the electronic logbook. In the opposite direction, you can transfer up to 10,000 tracks in MP3 format to the internal hard drive of PCM and create your own jukebox.

The navigation module of PCM with high-speed hard drive allows you to choose between a 2D display and a 3D perspective. In some regions, even terrain can be displayed in 3D.

Fitted as standard, the CDR audio system features a seven-inch color monitor that also acts as a touchscreen, giving you quick and easy access to the most important functions and menus.

The integrated CD radio supports MP3 playback and features an FM dual tuner with RDS, 30 memory presets, dynamic autostore and speed-sensitive volume control. Quality sound is produced by four loudspeakers and an integrated amplifier with an output of 2x 25 watts.

A universal AUX interface (e. g. for compatible MP3 players) is fitted as standard in the glove compartment.

The optional Sound Package Plus is ideal for your racing soundtrack. Nine loudspeakers and a separate amplifier with a total output of 235 watts create a sound experience that has been perfectly tuned for the car’s interior.

Sound settings can be customized using the CDR or the optional CDR Plus audio system or Porsche Communication Management (PCM).

To experience the limits of audio sophistication, tune into the optional CDR Plus audio system with an output of 235 watts and nine loudspeakers. All functions can be controlled directly from the high-resolution seven-inch WVGA TFT touchscreen display.

The radio with twin tuner is able to receive digital and analogue signals and finds the best possible reception. In addition to audio CDs, the single CD/DVD drive supports tracks in MP3 format. External audio sources can be connected via the AUX interface integrated as standard. In this case, functions are operated using the controls on the connected device itself. USB sticks, MP3 players, iPods® or iPhones® can be plugged in directly via the USB port, giving you immediate

access to your music library, podcasts and audiobooks. With support for cover art, not only is your audio collection clearly organized, it looks fantastic too. This also includes SiriusXM and HD radio receivers.

Change gear like a motorsport professional with the GT3 SportDesign steering wheel with gearshift paddles. In the new 911 GT3, the shift throw of the paddles has been further reduced by 50%. Gearshifts become even more direct and precise.

The GT3 SportDesign steering wheel offers up to over 1.5 inches of height and reach adjustment. The steering wheel rim in black Alcantara (R) is easy to grip and remains in firm hands, even on sporty drives. The top center marking is another characteristic feature.

Precise not fanciful, minimalist not kitsch. True to Porsche style, the five circular instruments integrated in the cockpit lead the way. In the middle is the rev counter. Its dial face is titanum-colored and bears the ‘GT3’ logo. The gear and upshift indicator helps you to achieve optimum acceleration.

For the first time in a 911 GT3, the instrument cluster is equipped with a high-resolution 4.6-inch TFT color display. It provides you with data from the on-board computer, including average speed and fuel consumption, fuel range and outside temperature, and allows you to view Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) information as well as data from the stopwatch of the optional Sport Chrono Package. It also reminds you of your selected communication and audio settings or displays the map of the optional navigation system – but only for the rare occasion

you aren’t on the racetrack.

Bi-Xenon(TM) headlights are fitted as standard. Their design is reminiscent of Porsche motorsport classics. Sleek direction indicators, daytime running lights and position lights boasting LED technology create that contemporary contrast. LED headlights are also available as an option.

Sport seats Plus are fitted as standard in the new 911 GT3 and come equipped with elevated side bolsters, electric seat height and backrest adjustment and manual fore/aft adjustment. The seat side bolsters are upholstered in leather and the seat centers are lined in black Alcantara (R). The headrests are embroidered with the ‘GT3’ logo.

The side bolsters on the seat cushion and backrest have a firm, sporty padding and offer excellent lateral support. The backrest shell is finished in Silver Grey.

Available on request, adaptive Sport seats Plus blend sport with comfort and are suitable for everyday driving or the racetrack. They feature side bolsters in leather, seat centers in black Alcantara (R) and an embroidered ‘GT3’ logo on the headrests. Offering 18-way electric adjustment, the seats can be optimally adapted to meet your needs in terms of seat height, cushion and backrest angle, seat depth, fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar support. The side bolsters on the seat surface and backrest can be individually adjusted for precision lateral support on winding roads and added comfort on long journeys.

A precision instrument at the limit: the optional Sport Chrono Package, comprising an analogue and digital stopwatch on the dashboard. It is operated by the control stalk for the on-board computer and presents timed hours, minutes and seconds in analogue format. Seconds, tenths and hundredths of a second appear on the stopwatch display screen and are also duplicated on a digital display in the instrument cluster.

In conjunction with Porsche Communication Management (PCM), Sport Chrono Package functionality is enhanced with a performance display and the ability to display, store and evaluate recorded lap times.

In this way, the driver can view the current lap time and distance, number of laps completed and

other times achieved so far. It is also possible to view the current fastest lap and range until empty. Any traveled distances can be recorded and benchmark times defined. After all, you can’t push the limit in just one day.
