A more sophisticated car than the one before it, the 997 version of the 911 GT3 nevertheless still had to carry the responsibility of being the ‘entry-level’ 911 produced under the oversight of Porsche’s motorsport division. Using the chassis of the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4, large parts of the GT3 are made from weight-saving materials such as aluminium and even plastic composite - but forget any ‘toy car’ accusations, because while it weighs 5kg less, the GT3 is up to 40 per cent stiffer than its 996 predecessor. The dry-sump Boxer 6 engine in this car was the result of an obsessive weight-reduction drive, which resulted in a short-stroke unit whose peak 409bhp was produced at 7,600rpm, still 800rpm short of this car’s limit. But that leaves room for owners to seek out Porsche aftermarket parts to eke out even more extremes of performance.
Slim body panels helped produce a drag coefficient of 0.29, notwithstanding the air scoops, vents and rear spoiler. EU4 emissions regulations had come in during the 997 GT3’s development phase, while this was also the first GT3 to have adaptive damping and the traction control adapted from the original GT.
