This one-owner 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 has a mere 8,128 miles on the odometer and has had a Major Service recently completed by Porsche of The Main Line. Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic with a black leather interior, it is factory optioned with climate-control air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo with CD player, power windows, power door locks, Xenon headlights, Guards Red seat belts, color-coded Porsche Tequipment roll bar and a carbon/aluminum shifter. The first 911-based production car to wear the GT3 moniker, this hardcore sports car built on the 996 series platform is the spiritual successor to the European Carrera 2.7.
Built as a homologation model to enable participation in the FIA-sanctioned GT3 series, it continued the Porsche design philosophy of maximum performance derived from a naturally aspirated engine combined with motorsports-inspired suspension and braking. The Porsche 911 GT3 became a familiar sight to the American audience in the internationally televised “Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup”—a single-marque racing series with identical GT3’s scheduled as a support event to the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
Weighing in at a svelte 3,042 pounds, the GT3 is a minimalist package that sits 1.2 inches lower than a standard 911 and is fitted with revised dampers, springs and anti-roll bars to provide maximum grip. Externally, it is identified by a bi-plane rear wing, aero side rocker panels, special front apron with large openings for air intake and special 18-inch wheels with wide tires—all of exclusive design specific to the GT3. Powered by the Mezger horizontally opposed, 3.6L flat-6 engine producing 375 HP, this car is seriously fast with a top speed of 190 MPH. This 2004 Porsche 911 GT3—the first-generation car that started the GT3 legend—is a one-owner example with only 8,128 miles.
