Porsche 997 GT3

Driver involvement - that is what sets the Porsche 997 GT 3 above all other Porsche's and above many other supercars. This car provides enthusiasts with an uncompromising road car that can easily transition to weekend track-day outings. Its the ultimate all rounder and a huge members favourite.

This car is something special. The 911 GT3 is the street version of Porsche's production-based racing cars, the GT3 Cup and RSR. The combination of a more powerful, higher-revving engine and shortened gear ratios produces impressive acceleration figures. This car screams through first gear (in less time than it takes to read this sentence). Above 4000 rpm the cabin fills with a robust growl as the exhaust bypass opens up. At about 6000 rpm the engine feels impressive. But remember you have another 2400 rpm to play with, and when you push into the upper reaches of the power band, the engine absolutely shrieks to the 8400-rpm redline.

For the first time, the 911 GT3 boasts an active suspension. The standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system offers two chassis in one. The basic configuration is similar to that of the previous model and is suitable for driving on alternating road surfaces. In Sport mode, the system provides even firmer damping, enabling more focused dynamics for the racetrack.

Anyone listening on the outside is treated to a fantastic race-quality wail. Your neighbors will hate you but their kids will love you.
