2009 is the setting for the world debut of the new Porsche GT3, the second generation of the model number 911, which is more powerful, faster and more refined than its predecessor. To develop the 911 street sporty and dynamic group with a normal aspiration engine, Porsche used a wide range of knowledge gained in motorsport and this is why the new GT3 is so impressive, not only on the road but also on the track.

The new 911 GT3 will debut on March 3 of the Geneva Autoshow and sales throughout Europe beginning in May. The model will reach United States in October with a base price of $ 112.200. The 911 GT3 offers an even higher level, especially in two key areas: performance and driving dynamics.

The engine naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine develops a maximum power of 435 horsepower, 20 more than its predecessor, thanks to two tenths of increase in the capacity of the engine, now 3.8 liters, and the improvement cycle gas thanks to both the intake camshaft and exhaust, are covered with VarioCam system, an innovation without precedent in the brand. An important point is that, with improved power and performance, the Boxer engine also offers a considerable increase in torque at average speeds of the engine benefit that is particularly important in everyday driving.

This also means a further improvement in performance, since the new GT3 accelerates from 0 to 62 miles (100 kilometers per hour in 4.1 seconds and reaches speeds of 100 miles (160 km / h) in 8.2 seconds. maximum speed of 194 miles per hour (312 km / h). The second noteworthy point in the development of the 911 GT3 to reach a higher level was another improvement in driving dynamics of the car for the first time, the 911 GT3 comes with a particular variant of the Porsche sports Stability Management (PSM, for short English), which offers the option to turn off both the stability control, traction control and in separate steps. And to give the driver a control individual and unlimited on the dynamics driving your car, these functions are not reactivated automatically even in extreme driving conditions, but by a button.

The new GT3 offers better grip and stability at high speeds too, as the specific modifications to the aerodynamics of the car increases the aerodynamic load on the front and rear so that the total pressure that pushes the car down more two times higher than the previous model.

At the same time, the new aerodynamic package gives the GT3 a new look, the more accentuated by the bi-xenon headlights and LED taillights groups, as well as the air intakes and outlets modified. The active suspension system with PASM (active suspension Porsche) 911 GT3 allows Porsche engineers to produce springs and a stiffer bar.

This ensures an even more precise handling in the sport of PASM and comfort while maintaining a suitable tread for everyday use in normal mode PASM. The new wheel, even in light design career, central locking and ultra high performance tires (UHP) with the new feature of tire-pressure monitoring complete visual and functional improvements of the GT3.

With the increase in the level of driving dynamics and performance, following an ancient tradition of Porsche, the braking system was also, therefore, improved in the new 911 GT3. The brake pads now come with a disc of friction larger and cover more aluminum to reduce weight.
