Many have still never heard of it. Some believe it’s all just a myth. For the true fan, though, behind the idyllic green hills of the Swabian region in Germany the promised land does exist: Flacht. The home of Porsche Motorsport. Our home. The place in which the Porsche heart beats the fastest. Where the transfer from motorsport into series production is routine daily practice. Where the proving ground is our playground. And precision is our greatest passion. Here, in Flacht, is where the new 911 GT3 turned its first laps. Here is where the mighty sound of its 4.0-liter horizontally opposed and naturally aspirated engine roared for the first time. Here is where the chassis was tuned over the course of countless test miles with the meticulous scrutiny only otherwise afforded to the Porsche 919 Hybrid for Le Mans.
Our engineers invested all their racing experience into it, tweaking and honing into the night. Afterwards, they would all say: “It couldn’t get any better.” Only to ask themselves the next morning: “Could we not make it even better?” A hundredth of a second faster, a percentage point more agile, a gram lighter?
Sound: unadulterated engine sound of a pure-bred high-performance naturally aspirated powerplant. Driving dynamics: racing chassis with dynamic engine mounts and rear axle steering with GT tuning. Performance: 4.0-liter six-cylinder horizontally opposed and naturally aspirated engine derived from the 911 GT3 Cup offering 500 hp, 339 lb-ft and a high-revving design. Lightweight construction: bodyshell in aluminum and steel composite, front and rear fascias in lightweight polyurethane, rear lid, wing uprights and rear wing in carbon fiber.
Transmission: performance-oriented 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). Optional: 6-speed GT Sport manual transmission with short shift throws. Design and aerodynamics: new front and rear end, Bi-Xenon™ headlights, three-dimensionally shaped taillights, underbody paneling with finned rear diffuser, front spoiler and rear wing for aerodynamic downforce. Safety: motorsport-tuned vehicle stability system, high-performance brake system with six-piston aluminum brake calipers at the front and fourpiston equivalents at the rear axle.
The vehicle architecture, with its wide track at the front axle and the low roof line, lends the front of the 911 a dynamic appearance that is both sporty and elegant. It has also helped us to achieve a low drag coefficient of 0.29 for the 911 Carrera. Fitted as standard, the Bi-Xenon headlights have the familiar oval-shaped surrounds for classic appeal and reveal their technically impressive inner workings. LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+) with dynamic cornering lights, speed-sensitive headlight range control and dynamic main beam are available as an option. The indicators, daytime running lights and position lights are all LEDs and are integrated into the separate front light units. Their slimline design contrasts with that of the rounded headlights. Together with the two integral air intakes, they make the front of the 911 unmistakable. At the rear, everything is clean and sharp: the styling, the appearance and the effect. This is due not least to the distinct lines and narrow LED taillights which accentuate the horizontal contouring of the rear. The illuminated rear light strip on the all-wheel-drive models further enhances the effect.
