Porsche saved its best for last when the 911 GT3 finally drove onto American roads in 2004 to put a cap on the Type 996 era. The Porsche GT3 earned its name from FIA Group GT3 competition and is infused with race-proven engineering and aerodynamics for a pure sports Porsche experience in the tradition of the RS America and original 1973 Carrera RS. This pivotal 911 in the Porsche timeline has traveled just 11,975 original miles since it left Stuttgart and comes with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. The naturally aspirated 3.6L flat 6-cylinder engine is rated for 380 HP at 7,400 RPM and 284 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 RPM.
Engine No. 63424419 sends its power through a 6-speed manual transmission, bearing No. 2004983, and a limited-slip differential. Special pistons, valves and titanium connecting rods reduce rotating mass for quicker throttle response toward the 8,200 RPM redline. The GT3 could launch from 0-60 MPH in 4.5 seconds, run the quarter mile in 12 seconds at 118 MPH and hold slightly more than 1 g on the skidpad. Drilled and vented rotors with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear body-color red calipers can slow the GT3 from 60 MPH in less than 100 feet. ABS is the sole GT3 electronic traction assist.
Original Guards Red paint is fitting for the just more than 3,000-pound 911 with chin spoiler, under-car panels and rear wing designed for maximum downforce, minimal lift and low drag. Lightness was achieved by eliminating sound-deadening material, rear seating and the sunroof. The custom-tailored black leather interior is appointed with power-adjustable sport seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, shifter and console. Aluminum accents the climate-controlled cabin from instrumentation to the GT3-logo door sills. Xenon headlamps illuminate the road for 19-inch alloy wheels with GT3 center caps and Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
Even in today’s high-performance era, this GT3 has the performance chops to thrill.
