2017 PORSCHE 911 GT3 (991.2) 4.0L 6MT RWD (500 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The 2017 Porsche GT3 was made for the customers who are racing their 911’s but who want to enjoy the road to the race-track as well.

After the facelift for the 991 generation, the GT3 had to be enhanced along with the rest of the stable. The 991.2 GT3 was unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show and it was built more as a race-car that was able to roll on the road than as a supercar able to fight on a racetrack.

At the front, there was a new spoiler, with larger side-scoops. The center grille on the apron was split in three, with a larger center and two smaller vertical air-intakes. On the sides, the 10-spoke 20” light-alloy wheels featured center log-nuts. The ground clearance was reduced by 25 mm (0.98”) than the Carrera S. In the back, an adjustable fixed wing was installed over the engine lid.

Inside, the two-seat car a steering wheel carried-over from the Porsche 918 Spyder was installed. The Porsche Sports seats Plus with enhanced side bolsters were prepared for the occupants. There were three other options for the seats: an 18-way electrically adjustable adaptive Sports seat Plus, bucket-seats with adjustable seatbacks, and the hard-core carbon-fiber full bucket-seats. As in any 911 GT3, the rear seat pans were covered. The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) featured a special Track Precision app, that enabled the driver to analyze its track performance and enhance the race-lines.

Under the hood, the GT3 featured a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter engine, which offered 500 hp. It was paired with a 7-speed PDK (dual-clutch) automatic gearbox and a 7-speed manual was offered as an option. The rear-steering axle was fitted as standard.
