2010 Porsche 911 GT3

Stronger, wider, faster – the new version of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup offers its many customers the world over even greater value than ever before. The successor to the best-selling racing car of all time built in a production series of more than 1,400 units is based for the first time on the 911 GT3 RS, with the weight of the racing model reduced significantly versus the lightweight road-going version.This is the first GT3 Cup to feature the 44-millimetre (1.73') wider body at the rear, providing sufficient space for even larger wheels. 

 Wider wheel arches also at the front clearly show that the front wheels are likewise new. Engine capacity is up by 0.2 litres over the former model, engine output is 30 bhp more than before.

The most important facts and figures: 3.8-litre six-cylinder horizontally-opposed power unit developing 450 bhp (331 kW), sequential six-speed manual gearbox, weight 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), racing version of the 911 GT3 RS. The new GT3 Cup is clearly recognizable at very first sight through the special looks and design of the front end.

The striking daytime driving lights come straight from the current generation of the 911, the front body panels are the same as on the 911 GT3 RS. The front spoiler lip is however 15 millimeters or almost 0.6' lower to provide significantly more down force on the front. Downforce on the rear axle is also increased by the rear wing extended in width from 1.46 to 1.70 metres (57.5 to 66.9') and fitted higher up as a feature carried over from the even faster 911 GT3 Cup S in international FIA GT3 racing. The rear air dam with its striking air vent openings as well as the rear lights in LED technology, in turn, come straight from the road model.
