The Porsche 911 (991) GT3 is a legendary sports car developed by Andreas Preuninger and his team at Porsche Motorsport. This generation of the 911 GT3 was built from 2013 to 2019 and brings an impressive combination of technology and performance to the road. The 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with direct injection delivers 475 horsepower and accelerates the car from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph). Other technical features include a Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and adaptive suspension with active damper control (PASM). The GT3 is based on the legendary concept of the rear-wheel-drive notchback coupe, equally suitable for everyday driving and track performance. The 991-based GT3 succeeds the 997 GT3 and continues the long tradition of high standards in performance and handling.
