El precio fue un récord para un Porsche nuevo vendido en una subasta, según la casa de subastas.
La venta reunió a los miembros del equipo original de Cars que crearon tanto el automóvil de la película de Disney y Pixar como el Sally Carrera de tamaño natural, basado en un Porsche 911 Carrera de 2002. Ese equipo incluía a la actriz Bonnie Hunt, la voz de Sally Carrera, Jay Ward, director creativo de franquicias en Pixar Animation Studios, y Bob Pauley, quien, como diseñador de producción de Cars, dibujó a Sally por primera vez hace 20 años. A ellos se unieron Kjell Gruner, presidente y director ejecutivo de Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), y miembros clave del equipo Sonderwunsch de Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, incluidos Alexander Fabig y Boris Apenbrink.
“Me gustaría expresar mi gratitud y mis profundas felicitaciones al postor ganador”, dijo Kjell Gruner, presidente y director ejecutivo de PCNA. “Este acto generoso ha marcado la diferencia para dos importantes organizaciones benéficas y para las vidas de aquellos a quienes ayudarán. A cambio, espero que el postor esté muy feliz de haber obtenido una pieza especial y única de nuestra historia y la de Pixar”.
El 911 Sally Special estuvo acompañado por un exclusivo reloj hecho a medida de Porsche Design, diseñado específicamente para combinar con la configuración única de este icónico automóvil deportivo, con reflejos en Sally Blue Metallic y detalles exclusivos creados en colaboración con Pixar.
Una serie de artículos más pequeños también acompañaban al automóvil, entre ellos un segundo juego de ruedas presentado en un portaequipajes a medida, así como una cubierta de automóvil “Sally Special” equipada y un libro que trazaba la creación del automóvil de principio a fin, incorporando bocetos originales. tanto de Porsche como de Pixar.
“¡Qué noche y qué resultado! Es fantástico ver un auto inspirado en mi personaje en Cars hacer tanto bien”, dijo Bonnie Hunt, quien estaba en el escenario para la subasta en vivo. “Me encantó interpretar el papel de Sally durante los últimos 16 años, tiene un lugar especial en mi corazón y es maravilloso que su personalidad y valores sigan inspirando a las nuevas generaciones en la actualidad. El auto se veía increíble, y sé que el equipo puso su corazón y alma en crearlo. Estoy emocionado por el nuevo propietario que tiene algo muy especial y completamente único”.
“Sé que hablo en nombre de todo el equipo de Pixar cuando digo lo orgullosos que estamos no solo del resultado de la subasta, sino también de que el 911 Sally Special también creó conciencia sobre el trabajo de dos organizaciones benéficas increíbles: Girls Inc. y USA for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency”, dijo Jay Ward, director creativo de franquicias de Pixar Animation Studios. “La reacción ha sido increíble. Un momento realmente especial. El dinero recaudado irá directamente a ellas, brindando programas educativos que cambiarán la vida de las niñas en los EE. UU. y ayuda para los refugiados ucranianos afectados por la guerra”.
“El automóvil atrajo un interés sin precedentes”, dijo Gord Duff, director global de subastas de RM Sotheby’s. “Vimos una cantidad significativa de consultas en la semana anterior a la subasta, pero esto realmente se aceleró en las últimas horas previas al evento, impulsado por el increíble interés de las redes sociales en el automóvil. Ha sido un verdadero honor haber sido parte del proyecto y trabajar con Porsche y Pixar durante los últimos meses para facilitar la venta. Nos gustaría felicitar al nuevo propietario por su compra y agradecerle la contribución que ha hecho a Girls Inc. y USA para ACNUR, la Agencia de la ONU para los Refugiados”.

The car looked amazing, and I know the team put their heart and souls into creating it. I am thrilled for the new owner who has something very special, and completely unique.”
“I know I speak for the whole Pixar team when I say how proud we are of not only the auction result but that the 911 Sally Special also raised awareness of the work of two incredible charities – Girls Inc. and USA for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency,” said Jay Ward, Creative Director of Franchise of Pixar Animation Studios. “The reaction has been nothing short of amazing. A really special moment. The money raised will go directly to them, providing life-changing educational programs to young girls in the U.S. and relief for Ukrainian refugees affected by the war.”
“The car attracted unprecedented interest,” said Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions for RM Sotheby’s. “We saw a significant number of inquiries in the week before the auction, but this really accelerated as the final hours leading up to the event – driven by the incredible social media interest in the car. It’s been a real honor to have been a part of the project and to work with both Porsche and Pixar over the past months to facilitate the sale. We’d like to congratulate the new owner on their purchase and thank them for the contribution they’ve made to Girls Inc. and USA for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.”

Debut de la nueva generación del Porsche 911 GT3 R
El nuevo Porsche 911 GT3 R se presentará al público en las 24 Horas de Spa-Francorchamps de este año. Comenzando con la Rolex 24 At Daytona, los equipos de clientes de Porsche pueden promocionar el nuevo vehículo de carreras en eventos de automovilismo en todo el mundo que se adhieren a las regulaciones de GT3. El vehículo se basa en el último 911 de la generación 992. En comparación con su predecesor, el nuevo 911 GT3 R cuenta con un motor más grande que produce hasta 565 CV (416 kW), un rendimiento aerodinámico más constante y un equilibrio del vehículo optimizado.
Debut de la nueva generación del Porsche 911 GT3 R
Con la última generación del 911 GT3 R, Porsche presenta un nuevo auto de carreras para clientes. El nuevo retador de la serie GT3 en todo el mundo se basa en la actual generación 992 de la icónica plataforma 911 y estará listo para competir a principios de la temporada 2023. El desarrollo comenzó en 2019. Se dio prioridad a mejorar aún más la capacidad de conducción para los conductores con varios conjuntos de habilidades, así como a aprovechar mayores reservas de rendimiento para diferentes clasificaciones de Balance of Performance (BoP). Otro enfoque fue optimizar el manejo del auto de carrera para los equipos y reducir los costos de funcionamiento. Porsche Motorsport ahora ofrece el nuevo 911 GT3 R a los clientes norteamericanos a un precio de $567,210 y extras opcionales. En los Estados Unidos y Canadá, el nuevo corredor solo está disponible a través de Porsche Motorsport North America.
“En América del Norte, GT3 es la categoría superior de las carreras de GT, como pronto lo será en todo el mundo”, comentó Volker Holzmeyer, presidente y director ejecutivo de Porsche Motorsport North America. “Esto hizo que la nueva generación del 911 GT3 R fuera especialmente importante para nuestro mercado. Su desarrollo, que incorpora no solo las lecciones aprendidas de la generación anterior del GT3 R, sino también del monomarca de la Copa GT3 y del 911 RSR, ha hecho que este coche sea muy atractivo para los equipos de nuestros clientes. La capacidad de conducción es muy importante para la amplia gama de conductores que tenemos compitiendo aquí y ese fue el enfoque del modelo 992 911 GT3 R. Ya hemos tenido un gran interés en el automóvil y estamos ansiosos por verlo girar por primera vez. aquí pronto. Después de que la clase GT3 fuera anunciada como una categoría profesional en el Campeonato IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar de América del Norte, el Campeonato Mundial de Resistencia (WEC) de la FIA hará lo mismo. A partir de 2024, los autos de carreras GT3 como el nuevo 911 GT3 R podrán participar en las 24 Horas de Le Mans por primera vez.
“Dimos en el blanco con el predecesor enormemente exitoso. En consecuencia, el listón para su sucesor es alto”, enfatiza Sebastian Golz, Gerente de Proyecto 911 GT3 R en Porsche Motorsport. “Nuestra tarea consistía menos en hacer que el nuevo 911 GT3 R fuera aún más rápido: la clasificación dentro de las ventanas de rendimiento establecidas por el BoP anula rápidamente esta ventaja. Para nosotros, se trataba principalmente de que nuestros clientes pudieran conducir el auto de carreras rápido durante más tiempo. Esto requiere durabilidad y es por eso que nos enfocamos principalmente en mejorar la capacidad de conducción. Esto se refleja en la banda de revoluciones utilizable más amplia del nuevo motor de 4.2 litros, una aerodinámica más estable y constante y menores cargas en los neumáticos traseros, lo que permite que su potencial dure más tiempo”.
Motor basado en el 911 generación 992
En el núcleo del nuevo auto de carreras se encuentra el motor casi estándar basado en el motor 911 de la generación 992. Como en el modelo anterior, se trata de un motor bóxer de seis cilindros refrigerado por agua con tecnología de cuatro válvulas e inyección directa de gasolina. La principal novedad es el desplazamiento. Al igual que el 911 RSR, la capacidad del nuevo 911 GT3 R ha aumentado un cinco por ciento, de 3.997 a 4.194 cc. Esto ha aumentado la potencia máxima del motor a alrededor de 565 HP (416 kW). Sin embargo, lo que es más importante, Porsche ha optimizado la curva de par y potencia en todo el rango de revoluciones. En consecuencia, el nuevo seis cilindros y 4,2 litros se adapta mejor a una gama más amplia de experiencias de conducción.
El seis cilindros de altas revoluciones continúa sin turboalimentación y se sienta en la posición trasera clásica, mejorando así la tracción y el frenado. Sin embargo, se ha inclinado hacia adelante 5,5 grados, creando más espacio para el difusor debajo de la carrocería. Los componentes auxiliares, como el alternador y el compresor del aire acondicionado, se movieron significativamente hacia adelante y hacia abajo en un espacio frente al motor y la caja de cambios, lo que tiene un efecto positivo en el equilibrio de peso del 911 GT3 R. El concurso secuencial de seis velocidades La caja de cambios de malla se deriva del actual auto de carreras 911 GT3 Cup. Las paletas de cambio controlan un actuador de tambor de cambio electrónico que permite cambios de marcha particularmente rápidos y precisos.
Suspensión modificada en muchos detalles.
La suspensión del nuevo 911 GT3 R (muchos detalles de la cual se han modificado) favorece la facilidad de conducción, permite una dirección más precisa, garantiza un menor desgaste de los neumáticos traseros y reduce el tiempo dedicado a los cambios de configuración. Para ello, se tomaron numerosos componentes y soluciones técnicas del 911 RSR. En el eje delantero, un diseño de doble horquilla de última generación controla las ruedas. El eje trasero luce un diseño multibrazo. Los amortiguadores KW se mejoraron aún más y ofrecen cinco configuraciones de ajuste. Las modificaciones de configuración se realizan con las llamadas cuñas. Estas placas permiten ajustes de precisión sin necesidad de volver a alinear la suspensión después, lo que requiere mucho tiempo.
La posición optimizada de los puntos de pivote centrales en el eje delantero libera espacio para el concepto aerodinámico de “carrera bajo el suelo”. Al igual que en el 911 RSR, esta parte inferior de la carrocería elevada permite un flujo de aire limpio hacia el difusor trasero y reduce la sensibilidad de cabeceo del coche de carreras, es decir, una gran inclinación al frenar. Las ruedas traseras se han movido más hacia atrás, lo que amplía la distancia entre ejes de 2459 a 2507 milímetros (8,0 pies a 8,22 pies). Esto también reduce la carga sobre los neumáticos traseros y mejora la consistencia del rendimiento de los neumáticos en períodos más largos.
Pinzas de freno de competición del especialista AP
Además de las pinzas de freno de carreras monobloque de aluminio, los discos de freno del nuevo 911 GT3 R ahora también son suministrados por la empresa especializada AP. Los discos delanteros de acero ranurados y ventilados internamente miden 390 mm (15,35 pulgadas) de diámetro y son activados por seis pistones. En la parte trasera se montan pinzas de cuatro pistones y discos de 370 mm (14,56 pulgadas). Una sofisticada aplicación de software para el ABS de carreras de quinta generación reduce el desgaste de los neumáticos y los frenos. El sistema de control de tracción de Porsche también recibió un mayor desarrollo.
El nuevo 911 GT3 R es el segundo coche de carreras de Porsche Motorsport basado en el modelo actual 992 911 después del 911 GT3 Cup. Su carrocería liviana con un diseño inteligente compuesto de aluminio y acero se basa en el modelo de producción, aunque con importantes modificaciones para su uso en el 911 GT3 R. Casi todos los paneles de la carrocería están hechos de fibra de carbono liviana, incluidas las tapas delantera y trasera, puertas, laterales paneles, alerón trasero y techo. Los pasos de rueda están hechos de fibras de aramida.
Cuerpo ligero con un diseño compuesto de aluminio y acero
En un vehículo como el nuevo 911 GT3 R, la funcionalidad es clave. Sin embargo, Grant Larson de Style Porsche volvió a tener éxito en la creación de formas particularmente impresionantes y armoniosas. Acentúan la herencia del Porsche 911 y la combinan con una eficiencia sofisticada. En particular, esto se refleja en la aerodinámica. Los puntos clave incluyen una parte inferior elevada por delante del eje delantero, por primera vez junto con una bandeja inferior lisa y un difusor trasero. Esta combinación mejora la carga aerodinámica sin un aumento significativo en la resistencia. El alerón trasero ahora cuenta con una montura de cuello de cisne. Esto asegura un flujo de aire limpio debajo del ala y, por lo tanto, mejora la eficiencia aerodinámica del componente.
El interior del nuevo automóvil continúa con el tema de la eficiencia y la evolución. El asiento se ha movido más cerca del centro del automóvil. Esto permitió a Porsche adaptar de manera óptima la posición más ergonómica del asiento a la jaula antivuelco mejorada y a los nuevos mandatos de protección contra impactos laterales de la FIA. Al igual que en el predecesor, el volante y los pedales se pueden ajustar longitudinalmente para adaptarse al conductor manteniendo un asiento fijo. Los especialistas de Porsche volvieron a examinar de cerca el arnés de seis puntos. Las lengüetas ahora se deslizan aún más rápido en el cierre a través de rampas especiales, ahorrando alrededor de un segundo durante las paradas en boxes para los cambios de conductor. El diseño del volante también recibió más mejoras en el modelo anterior. Incorpora elementos que han demostrado su eficacia en los coches de carreras 911 GT3 Cup y 911 RSR de última generación. La pantalla de 10,3 pulgadas, por ejemplo,
Los faros LED de alto rendimiento del 911 GT3 R se basan en la tecnología de colimador, que Porsche desarrolló para el nuevo prototipo IMSA GTP y WEC LMDh 963, entre otros. Este dispositivo funciona como una lupa, solo que al revés. Ilumina un área particularmente grande de la pista de carreras y es una mejora significativa con respecto al modelo anterior, que había sido considerado líder de su clase.

Beginning with the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Porsche customer teams can campaign the new racing vehicle in worldwide motorsport events that adhere to the GT3 regulations. The vehicle is based on the latest 992-generation 911. Compared to its predecessor, the new 911 GT3 R features a larger engine producing up to 565 HP (416 kW), a more constant aerodynamic performance and an optimized vehicle balance.
Debut for the newest generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 R
With the latest generation of the 911 GT3 R, Porsche unveils a new customer racing car. The new challenger for GT3 series around the world is based on the current 992 generation of the iconic 911 platform and will be ready to race at the beginning of the 2023 season. Development began in 2019. Priority was given to further improving the drivability for drivers with various skillsets, as well as tapping larger performance reserves for different Balance of Performance (BoP) classifications. Another focus was on streamlining the handling of the race car for the teams and reducing the running costs. Porsche Motorsport now offers the new 911 GT3 R to North American customers at a price of $567,210 and optional extras. In the United States and Canada, the new racer is only available through Porsche Motorsport North America.
“In North America, GT3 is the top category of GT racing, as it soon will be around the world,” commented Volker Holzmeyer, president and CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America. “This made the new generation of the 911 GT3 R especially important to our market. Its development, which incorporates not only lessons learned from the previous generation GT3 R but also from the GT3 Cup one-make car as well as the 911 RSR, has made this car very appealing to our customer teams. Drivability is remarkably important to the wide range of drivers that we have competing here and that was a focus of the type 992 911 GT3 R. We have already had overwhelming interest in the car, and we are looking forward to seeing it turn its first wheel here soon.” After the GT3 class was announced as a professional category in the North American IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) will follow suit. Beginning in 2024, GT3 racing cars such as the new 911 GT3 R will be eligible to take part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time.
“We hit the bull’s eye with the enormously successful predecessor. Accordingly, the bar for its successor is high,” emphasizes Sebastian Golz, 911 GT3 R Project Manager at Porsche Motorsport. “Our task was less about making the new 911 GT3 R even faster – the classification within performance windows set by the BoP quickly cancels out this advantage. For us, it was primarily about our customers being able to drive the racing car fast for longer. This requires durability and that’s why we focused predominantly on improved drivability. This is reflected in the new 4.2-liter engine’s broader usable rev band, more stable and constant aerodynamics and lower loads on the rear tires, which allow their potential to last longer.”
Engine based on the 911 generation 992
At the core of the new racing car is the near-standard engine based on the 992-generation 911 powerplant. Like in the previous model, it is a water-cooled flat-six engine with four-valve technology and direct fuel injection. The main new development is the displacement. Like the 911 RSR, the capacity of the new 911 GT3 R has increased by a five percent from 3,997 to 4,194 cc. This has boosted the engine’s peak output to around 565 HP (416 kW). More importantly, however, Porsche has optimized the torque and power curve across the entire rev range. Consequently, the new 4.2-liter six-cylinder is better suited for a wider range of driver experience.
The high-revving six-cylinder continues without turbocharging and sits in the classic rear position, thus enhancing traction and braking. However, it has been tilted forward by 5.5 degrees, creating more space for the underbody diffuser. Auxiliary components such as the alternator and the air conditioning compressor were moved significantly forward and further down into a space in front of the engine and gearbox, which has a positive effect on the weight balance of the 911 GT3 R. The sequential six-speed contest-mesh gearbox is derived from the current 911 GT3 Cup race car. Shift paddles control an electronic shift drum actuator that enables particularly rapid and precise gear changes.
Suspension modified in many details
The new 911 GT3 R’s suspension – many details of which have been modified – supports driveability, allows more precise steering, ensures less wear on the rear tyres and reduces the time spent on set-up changes. For this, numerous components and technical solutions were taken from the 911 RSR. At the front axle, a state-of-the-art double wishbone layout controls the wheels. The rear axle sports a multi-link design. The KW shock absorbers were further improved and offer five adjustment settings. Set-up modifications are done with so-called shims. These plates enable precision adjustments without the need for the time-consuming re-alignment of the suspension afterward.
The optimized positioning of the central pivot points at the front axle frees space for the aerodynamic “race underfloor” concept. Like in the 911 RSR, this elevated underbody allows for a clean flow of air to the rear diffuser and reduces the pitch sensitivity of the racing car – i.e. a high rake under braking. The rear wheels have been moved further back, which extends the wheelbase from 2,459 to 2,507 millimeters (8.0 feet to 8.22 feet). This also reduces the load on the rear tires and improves the consistency of the tires’ performance over longer stints.
Racing brake callipers by the specialist AP
In addition to the aluminum monobloc racing brake calipers, the brake discs on the new 911 GT3 R are now also supplied by the specialist company AP. The internally vented and slotted front steel discs measure 390 mm (15.35 inches) in diameter and are activated by six pistons. Fitted at the rear are four-piston calipers and discs measuring 370 mm (14.56 inches). A sophisticated software application for the fifth-generation racing ABS reduces wear on the tires and brakes. Porsche’s traction control system also received a further development.
The new 911 GT3 R is the second racing car from Porsche Motorsport to be based on the current type 992 911 after the 911 GT3 Cup. Its lightweight body with an intelligent aluminum-steel composite design draws on the production model, albeit with major modifications for use in the 911 GT3 R. Almost all body panels are made of lightweight carbon fiber, including the front and rear lids, doors, side panels, rear wing and roof. The wheel arches are made of aramid fibers.
Lightweight body with an aluminium-steel composite design
In a vehicle like the new 911 GT3 R, functionality is key. Nevertheless, Grant Larson from Style Porsche again succeeded in creating particularly stunning and harmonious shapes. They accentuate the heritage of the Porsche 911 and blend it with sophisticated efficiency. Most notably, this is reflected in the aerodynamics. The key points include an elevated underbody ahead of the front axle, for the first time in conjunction with a smooth undertray, and a rear diffuser. This combination improves downforce without a significant increase in drag. The rear wing now features a swan-neck mount. This ensures clean airflow under the wing and thus improves the aerodynamic efficiency of the component
The interior of the new car continues the theme of efficiency and evolution. The seat has moved closer to the center of the car. This enabled Porsche to optimally adapt the more ergonomic seat position to the improved roll cage and the newly developed FIA side impact protection mandates. Like in the predecessor, the steering wheel and pedals can be adjusted longitudinally to suit the driver while maintaining a fixed seat mount. Porsche specialists took another close look at the six-point harness. The tongues now slide even faster into the clasp via special ramps – saving about a second during pit stops for driver changes. The steering wheel design also received further upgrades on the previous model. It incorporates elements that have proven themselves in the latest generation 911 GT3 Cup and 911 RSR race cars. The 10.3-inch display, for example, comes from the successful one-make cup racer, with the multi-switch concept adopted from the Le Mans class winner.
The high-performance LED headlights on the 911 GT3 R rely on collimator technology, which Porsche developed for the new IMSA GTP and WEC LMDh 963 prototype, among others. This device works like a magnifying glass, only in reverse. It illuminates a particularly large area of the race track and is a significant improvement on the previous model, which had been regarded as the class leader.Detailed information on the new 911 GT3 R is available on the Porsche website at this link.

Stuttgart. Porsche takes the new 911 GT3 off the leash. The seventh edition of this high-performance sports car was also developed in close collaboration with Porsche Motorsport. It transfers pure racing technology into a production model even more consistently than ever before: the double wishbone front axle layout and sophisticated aerodynamics with swan neck rear wing and striking diffuser originate from the successful GT race car 911 RSR and the 375 kW (510 PS) four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine is based on the drivetrain of the 911 GT3 R, tried and tested in endurance racing. The acoustically impressive, high-revving engine is also used practically unchanged in the new 911 GT3 Cup. The result is a brilliant driving machine: efficient and emotional, precise and high-performance – perfect for the circuit and superb for everyday use.
Porsche 911 GT3 with Motorsport expertise
The distinctive strength of the 911 GT3 lies in the sum of its characteristics. With a top speed of 320 km/h (318 km/h with PDK) it is even faster than the previous 911 GT3 RS. It accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. Porsche also offers the new model with a six-speed manual transmission for a particularly puristic driving experience. The sophisticated aerodynamics benefit from the experiences gained from motor racing and generate significantly more downforce without noticeably affecting the drag coefficient. In the performance position, the manually set wing and diffuser elements significantly increase the aerodynamic pressure for high cornering speeds.
This is, however, reserved strictly for outings on the circuit, as it is there that the 911 GT3 can play all its trump cards. During final testing, it lapped the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife, traditionally the ultimate proving ground for all sports cars developed by Porsche, over 17 seconds quicker than its predecessor. Development driver Lars Kern took just 6:59.927 minutes for a full 20.8-kilometre lap.
Holger Maske Juli 2020
The shorter 20.6-kilometre track, which had previously served as a benchmark, was completed by the 911 GT3 in 6:55.2 minutes. Running on the optionally available Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres, the new model consistently delivered its performance over several laps in the expert hands of Porsche brand ambassador Jörg Bergmeister. For Bergmeister, it is “by far the best production car” that the experienced professional driver has ever driven in the “Green Hell”.
Holger Maske Juli 2020
Despite a wider body, larger wheels and additional technical features, the weight of the new GT3 is on a par with its predecessor. With manual gearbox it weighs 1.418 kilograms, with PDK 1.435 kilograms. The front bonnet made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), lightweight glass windows, optimised brake discs and forged light-alloy wheels ensure weight discipline, as does the cover for the rear seat compartment. The lightweight sports exhaust system reduces the weight by no less than ten kilograms. With infinitely electrically adjustable exhaust flaps, it harmonises a highly emotional sound experience with the Euro 6d ISC FCM (EU6 AP) emissions standard. The combined consumption of the 911 GT3 is 13.3 litres/100 km (PDK 12.4).
Its racing genes are expressed in practically all the details of the new 911 GT3. The cockpit is in line with the current model generation. A new feature is the track screen: at the touch of a button, it reduces the digital displays to the left and right of the central rev counter, which reaches up to 10,000 revs, to information such as tyre pressure indicator, oil pressure, oil temperature, fuel tank level and water temperature, which are essential when driving on the circuit. It also includes a visual shift assistant with coloured bars to the left and right of the rev counter and a shift light derived from Motorsport.
Especially for the Porsche GT models, customers are increasingly requesting customised equipment. For this reason, the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur range is also available for the new 911 GT3 and is supplemented by GT 3-specific options such as a lightweight roof made of exposed carbon fibre. Other highlights include exterior mirror tops made of carbon, darkened LED matrix main headlights and matching Exclusive design rear lights with an arc of light with no red components. Guards Red or Shark Blue painted wheel rims enhance the black alloy wheels. In the interior, equipment details such as the dials for the rev counter and Sport Chrono stopwatch, seatbelts and trim strips set elegant accents in the body colour or other desired colour.
As exclusive as the 911 GT3 itself is the individual chronograph that Porsche Design offers exclusively to customers of the high-performance sports car. Like its motorised role model, it boasts a dynamic design, consistent performance and high-quality workmanship. Its housing reflects its Motorsport genes. Just like the connecting rods of the GT3 engine, it consists of robust, lightweight titanium. The timepiece is powered by an individual winding rotor reminiscent of the wheels of the 911 GT3. The coloured ring of the dial can be customised in the paint colours of the 911 GT3.
Holger Maske Juli 2020
Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a starting price of 152,416 euros including VAT and country-specific equipment*. Delivery is set for May 2021.
*The equipment options and price may change for the change in the model year.
