Porsche 991 GT3 MK2 Touring: grey color

Porsche introduced the 991 GT3 at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013.

The 991 GT3 features a new 3.8 litre multi-point electronic indirect injection flat-six engine developing 475 PS (469 hp; 349 kW) at 8,250 rpm, a Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) double-clutch gearbox and rear-wheel steering.

The engine is based on the unit fitted in the 991 Carrera S, but shares only a few common parts. All other components, particularly the crankshaft and valve train, were specially adapted or developed for the 991 GT3. For example, the 991 GT3’s engine uses titanium connecting rods attached to forged pistons, in order to allow the engine to reach up to 9,000 rpm. The dual-clutch gearbox is another feature specially developed for the 991 GT3, based on sequential manual transmissions used in racing cars.

The 911 GT3 is claimed to be able to accelerate from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.5 seconds or less, and the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds at 203 km/h (126 mph).

The GT3 has a claimed top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). The lap time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife is 7 minutes and 25 seconds.
