Where better to imagine a 911 GT3 than on a race track? So, we have selected three spectacular courses for you, where the ‚newcomers‘ can show off their strengths to the max in tight corners and long straights. Jump in and join us for a few fast laps and thrilling seconds on the race track.
The Grand Prix de Monaco is considered to be one of the three crowns of motorsport, alongside the Indianapolis 500 and the 24h of Le Mans. The winding track in the Monegasque principality is the mother of city circuits. The story of the Monaco Grand Prix began in the 1920s, but it really took off in 1955 when it became a permanent feature in the Formula 1 racing calendar. Although the average speed of approximately 150km/h through the narrow streets of Monaco is relatively low, the glamour factor is higher than any other city in the world.
It may not be steeped in tradition, but it does have a place in the history books: in 2008, Singapore was given the green light for the first Formula 1 race to be held at night. 1,500 spotlights illuminate the spectacle of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, covering 5,063 kilometres. The course is fascinating with the nocturnal magic of the Asian metropolis and the many 90-degree bends, which expose tyres and materials to extreme stress. A constantly changing grip level and tropical temperatures make the Singapore Grand Prix a real challenge.
The Circuit Paul Ricard on the Côte d’Azur has everything an enthusiast could wish for. But the heart of a motorsport lover also beats faster here because the race track,, completed in 1970, offers plenty of performance thanks to its long straights and the spectacularly designed run-off zones. And, from 1971 to 1990, also races in the highest formula class. Used mainly as a test track for some time, since 2018 we have seen Formula 1 races held once more on the 5,842 kilometre circuit.
Carpe diem, they say – seize the day. But we are Porsche. And so our motto for the new 911 GT3 models is: carpe secundum – get the most out of every second. We know that your time is precious. And every minute in the cockpit is valuable. So, we have once again intensified everything that makes a sports car: performance, tuning, aerodynamics. With 375kW (510PS) and increased driving power, but also with an extremely performance tuned chassis and double wishbone front axle for even more precise response. And with the swan-neck rear wing on the new 911 GT3, which increases downforce and shortens the lap time. The 911 GT3 with Touring Package also sets the performance tone – but with focus primarily on the road. Thanks to ingenious aerodynamics, cornering remains impressive, even without a large rear wing.
Whether it‘s a long winding mountain pass or a narrow chicane: the new 911 GT3 models make sure that every tenth of a second and every percent of extra agility is accounted for. Because even at the limit, you can still boost your performance. Time flies. This is your time. Hop in. The new 911 GT3 models. Time is precious.
