I like the looks. It is nice to see a 3.8. 6spd all the way. Probably one of the best modern cars, you can buy.
I know I'm going to flamed to a toast on this, but here goes... *I wish they would change the shape of the car already.... I mean come ON!* Aside from that, it looks great and I'm sure its even better under the hood/trunk.
i agree with you Skyler but i think even Porsche knows that if they had to redesign the 911, they might come up with the ****eous Panamera!
looks like they listened to me. stability control and front axle lift will be much appreciated as will extra torque of 3.8 motor. should have had DI motor though. now it needs a pdk with proper paddles and a 3rd setting for the shocks. will be difficult to choose between this or a gtr/xke combo when my current gt3 lease ends in 2 yrs
Its great, really. However they can keep all the gizmos. Are they serious about adding an air compressor to this car to raise the ride height? Oh the horror. When I look with pride at a 911 I look to the 1973 RS (or my 996 GT3). You guys may like the gizmos and gadgets though, so I guess I will stand alone admiring the significantly purer drivers 911's Porsche made once.
I'm just curious, does Porsche have a design team? How many minutes did the designer spend on that? Seems any auto designer could have "updated" the design that much in under 5 minutes.
Seems like they overstyled it a bit to be somehow new. Question about the new motor. The "old" GT3 had a pukka racing motor, is this one just a hopped up carrera motor. What about weight?
Correct with a modest bump in Displacement to 3.8. I am glad they are only offering the Manual 6 Speed as well, at least until they put in Paddles for the PDK instead of those god awful buttons on the steering wheel.
NEXT GENERATION PORSCHE 911 GT3 TO MAKE WORLD DEBUT IN GENEVA Improved Aerodynamics, Suspension, Braking Distinguish 2010 GT3 ATLANTA --- January 29, 2009 --- Porsche will launch the fastest, most powerful 911 GT3 to-date at the Geneva Motor Show on March 3, 2009. The high performance GT3 is the latest in the new generation 911 series and carries over a wide range of expertise learned from motorsports resulting is superb capabilities both on road and on track. New Engine The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 raises the performance bar thanks to an increase in engine size to 3.8 liters and VarioCam technology now on both the intake and exhaust. The naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer engine develops 435 bhp, 20 bhp more than its predecessor. The new, larger engine offers a significant increase in torque at medium engine speeds, which is particularly important for everyday driving. Track performance is also improved; the new GT3 accelerates to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds and reaches a top track speed of 194 mph. Improved Suspension Driving dynamics have also been enhanced, and the new GT3 offers even better grip and stability. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) has enabled Porsches engineers to make the springs and anti-roll bars stiffer, thus ensuring even more precise handling in sport mode, while retaining a level of comfort suitable for everyday use in normal mode. For the first time, the 911 GT3 comes standard with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), with suspension mapping mirroring that of the GT2. The driver can disengage both stability control and traction control in separate steps. Refined Aerodynamics At high speeds, aerodynamic improvements have increased downforce at both the front and rear, more than doubling the effect of the previous GT3. At the same time, the new aerodynamics package, with larger vents in the front and rear bumpers gives the GT3 a brand-new look, accentuated by standard bi-xenon headlights, LED rear light clusters and modified air intakes and outlets. Innovative Engine Mounts The new GT3 will be available with new and highly innovative dynamic engine mounts. Utilizing magnetic fluid, these inventive mounts automatically stiffen to create a more solid coupling between the engine and chassis when the car is driven energetically. This provides a sporting, rigid assembly on fast bends and winding racetracks yet allows for engine isolation and increased comfort while driving in everyday traffic. Traction is also improved when accelerating from a standstill. Upgraded Brakes With driving dynamics and performance at an even higher level, the brake system, following a long Porsche tradition, has also been enhanced accordingly. Brake discs are larger and feature an aluminum hub to reduce weight. Increased brake ventilation ensures a high level of brake power over long periods, and the GT3 can also be equipped with PCCB ceramic brakes, developed specifically for this model. Creative Front End Lift A new lift system for the front axle is also available. By utilizing an on-board air compressor, the front of the car can be raised for steep driveways or inclines. A the touch of a button raises the front ride height by 30 mm, or 1.18 inches and at speeds up to approximately 30 mph. New, lighter GT3 specific center lock wheels and ultra-high performance tires round out the functional and visual enhancement of the GT3. The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 will be available in the fall of 2009, MSRP $112,200 US.
