 Made for the track : ALL NEW Porsche 911 GT3

In 1998, in order to participate in the FIA Group GT3 category, Porsche built a racing car based on the original 996.1 and named it the 911 GT3. At that time, Porsche thought that since it was going to participate in the competition, it would be better to turn the racing car into a production car, so it directly used this group alias as its own model code.


This 911 GT3 model without rear seats, no speakers, sunroof and air conditioning has attracted the attention of the majority of fans as soon as it was released. After all, at the time, there seemed to be no other option than the 911 GT3 to buy a road-legal production car.


From 1999, when Porsche began producing the first-generation 911 GT3 models, as of 2013, only about 14,000 GT3 models were produced. It's the performance and scarcity that have led to the price of this model being very stable, with used 911 GT3 models even costing more than new cars.

Later, although the two big brothers Turbo S and GT2 RS were crushed in performance, the appearance of the former turbocharged and the expensive price of the latter were difficult to shake the status of the 911 GT3 in the hearts of fans. It is no exaggeration to say that among the many models under the 911, the GT3 has achieved the ultimate balance of performance, price and positioning.


On the occasion of the release of the 992 GT3, the official directly took out the New North lap time of the new car - 6 minutes 59 seconds 927. What is this concept? In this world, the production car can run into the "six points club" models, no more than 10. You know, the previous generation 911 GT3 needed 7 minutes and 12.7 seconds to run the 20-kilometer-long New Nordschleife circuit, and this generation model was 17 seconds faster. The 911 GT2 RS, as the fastest Porsche in New North and North, has a terrifying performance of 6 minutes, 48 seconds and 75 seconds, but the price is enough to buy two 911 GT3s.


Of course, the 911 GT3 still maintains its original intention - the Club Sport package is optional. This set of kits developed for the track, including a race roll cage and six-point seat belts, etc., after all, let the 911 GT3 run on the track is what Porsche wants to see.
