The rear-engined sportscar has been a legendary car that offers unmatched driving experience in its latest iteration.
The exteriors get subtle changes and the two-seater is now shod with larger rims and a huge rear spoiler in the interests of better handling and high speed stability. The seats have been lowered by 25 mm for a better experience behind the wheel. Smoked headlamps with LED DRLs further accentuate the Porsche’s beauty, while a touchscreen infotainment unit adorns the interior. The sound system is supplied by Bose.
The 2017 Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by a 4.0-litre six-cylinder engine which belts out 493 BHP of power and 540 Nm of torque. For the purists, it comes with an option of a 6-speed manual transmission while a seven-speed PDK automatic gearbox is also on offer. From a standstill, the Porsche propels to 100 km/hr in less than four seconds while the top speed is rated at 318 km/hr for the automatic variant, while it goes up to 320 km/hr with the manual shifter.
The Porsche 911 GT3 sits on a revamped chassis and the company has focussed on weight reduction. There are a lot of customisation options available to the customer when it comes to upholstery, dashboard inserts and seats. The 911 GT3 competes with the Mercedes AMG GT R, Nissan GT-R and Audi R8.
