PORSCHE,the well known sport brand famous for its to-the-core performance cars has launched yet another version of 911.The 2013 PORSCHE 911 GT3,pushes the gasoline through it veins and this beast tames the tarmac like a hungry tiger on prowl.The looks are typical PORSCHE inspired,the main focus is on what resides under the skin.
Powered by a 3.8L engine,it develops a max power of 475bhp at a whopping 8,250rpm.While the maximum rpm goes up to 9,000rpm.Talking about the acceleration,the car clocks 3.5 seconds to reach the 100kmph(62mph) mark,yes that's right,this car is capable of blowing your minds off and you would be searching for it,maybe a 100kms behind you.
It snaps through up-shifts like a hammer on bubble wrap, and never, ever leaves you waiting on a down-change. It really is like being hard-wired directly into the machine. The experience of full-bore acceleration in this car is utterly scintillating, and makes you want to chase the red line again and again.
The ride is supposed to be much thrilling despite the electric assistance – which improves efficiency but generally kills feedback – Porsche has conjured up steering that comes completely alive in your hands, bobbing and weaving and dancing with the road surface as if it’s barely assisted at all. Genuinely, magic.
The chassis of the new 911 GT3 has been engineered to meet the challenging demands of motorsport – and for this reason it also provides extremely sporty day-to-day driving. The ride height of the new 911 GT3 is 30 mm lower than that of the 911 Carrera. In conjunction with a series of specifically tuned chassis components, this offers extraordinary agility, a high degree of driving safety and stable handling, particularly in corners.
The red six-piston aluminum brake calipers on the front axle and the four-piston equivalents at the rear are designed as monobloc units. This makes them tougher and enables a more rapid response and release of the brake, even under heavy loads.
Notably there are
buttons to specifically disable the ESP, the ESP and the traction
control together (aka: the burn out button), change the damper settings,
the PDK’s intensity (in Race Track it shifts so hard it almost feels
like it’s breaking itself, so you might not want that all the time), and
the volume of the exhaust.
From the moment the 911 variant was announced, Porsche has been entirely unapologetic about the technological encroachment into the ‘purity’ of the GT3 – and it’s now plain to see why. As a total package of focused performance, the 2013 GT3 is sensational. Easily this writer’s car of the year so far.
