The New Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Edition

new Porsche 911 GT3
A new Porsche 911 GT3 is not there yet, but already Porsche unveils the Cup version. This model has long been very popular on the circuits and even now further developed.

The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Edition is essentially a race car based on the already pretty Spartan 911 GT3 without Cup-adding, indeed the model still needs to be presented. Since the introduction of the first GT3 Cup 1998 Porsche already sold 2,385 units of the model. That does not seem right for a number of backward falling, but in racing circles is all relative. This is certainly the most successful racing car ever.

460 hp
now the seventh generation of the Porsche 911, codenamed 991, the road begins to populate, it was time for a new generation of athletes. Which is powered by a 3.8 liter six-cylinder boxer engine which is quite atmospheric and its peak power release at 8,500 crankshaft revolutions per minute. There are over 460 hp milked, ten horses more than its predecessor. A sequential six-speed gearbox is now with paddles on the steering wheel.

Interior

Road contact
The discs that Porsche now assembles around his now grown to a diameter of 380 mm. The front brake discs with six-piston against the press while back there four pistons are turned on. The rubber around it is also grew. The front tires are 27 cm wide and the rear is the measured lateral contact surface 31 cm now.

Rescue Liege
Porsche 911 is always more in the forced subservience. Thus the 991 bit less character than the 997 it replaces. And also the version for track use puts convenience at a higher scaffold than before. Porsche says that the model easier to drive, especially near the limit.

And if it still goes wrong, there is a full roll cage that the impact energy to the driver leads. The roof is now a rescue hatch that rescue workers easier access to the interior can get. The latter will directors and owners (if not the same) as much as possible to avoid. Without taxes, the retail price has been € 181.200, - and that you need for stickers or self tan self still worry. Porsche makes him merely in white.
