2003 Porsche 911 GT3

February 25, 2003

 

 

The new Porsche 911 GT3 comes with all the features of half a century Porsche motorsport. It is a sports car for the purist through and through. A sports car with all the classic virtues a car of this kind is expected to have – and without all the ballast which might in some way impair your outstanding driving experience. The new 911 GT3 is not “just" a two-seater coupé homologated for the road and taking you to work reliably every day without the slightest problem. No – it is also a sports car allowing lap times on the race track one would never expect of a street-legal road car. And for the first time the new 911 GT3 is also available in the USA.

 

 

Developing 280 kW or 381 bhp, the 3.6-litre six-cylinder power unit fitted in the rear offers almost 10 per cent more output for a truly supreme driving experience. Output per litre of 77.8 kW or 105.8 bhp makes this 3.6-litre flat-six one of the topmost normal-aspiration engines in the world. Benefitting also from streamlining improved to an even higher standard, top *****sss is now 306 km/h or 190 mph. Maximum torque, finally, is up from 370 to 385 Newton-metres.

 

This further improvement of power and performance is a result of Porsche's consistent high enginespeed concept based on the reduction of moving masses in the engine. A further reason for the increase in output developed by the GT3 power unit is the introduction of infinitely controlled intake camshaft management well known as Porsche VarioCam. The green area in the rev counter, in turn, now extends up to 8200 rpm, 400 revs more than before. This provides significant benefits particularly in terms of acceleration, the new 911 GT3 accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, 3/10ths of a second faster than its predecessor. But despite this enhanced performance, the new 911 GT3 consumes only 12.9 litres in the EU composite cycle, that is exactly as much as its predecessor, whilst naturally outperforming both the EU4 and the LEV emission limits.
