One feature that has come directly from motorsport is the central locking device for the newly designed 19-inch GT3 wheels. The road-approved sport tires are designed to enable higher cornering speeds, as well as precision handling on the road or racetrack. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is included as standard.
Everything on the new Porsche 911 GT3 is designed to save weight. The
doors and front hood are made from aluminum and the new engine cover is
made from a lightweight synthetic material. The result: a
weight-to-power ratio of just 7.1 lb/hp.
Our approach to safety is as uncompromising as usual, in terms of both active and passive safety features. New compound brake discs with aluminum monobloc calipers and a totally reinforced but lighter braking system offer excellent performance, even in extreme conditions. The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is also available as an option. The latest in communication technology is also included with the new standard CDR-30 audio system or the latest optional Porsche Communication Management (PCM).

The six-speed manual gearbox in the new Porsche 911 GT3 has been designed for the racetrack! This lightweight gearbox is very efficient and the gear-lever throw is short and on point, enabling fast and accurate gearshifts. With the friction optimized and lighter dual-mass fly-wheel, the gearbox gives an extremely high level of precision and capacity.
The gear ratios are perfectly matched to the 3.8-liter engine to enable even more dynamic power development.
Strong steel heat-resistant baulk rings on gears three to five ensure a precise gearshift action even under extreme loads. Cooling is provided by an additional oil to water heat exchanger and spray lubrication. Both of these features are essential for durability in endurance racing conditions.
