Motorsport history can be written in 60 years. Or in milliseconds.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). It’s the year 1984. Porsche unveils the 962. Now legendary: Derek Bell, Hans-Joachim Stuck and secure victories at Le Mans in 1986 and 1987 in a C version of the 962. One of the secrets of its success was the double-clutch transmission that Porsche had been continually refining since the 1960s. In the Porsche 962C, it enabled extremely fast gear changes, shaving off seconds in motorsport and minutes in the 24-hour race. Today, Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is setting standards – in particular, away from the racetrack.

And yet our engineers were still not satisfied. They wanted more. They wanted to get back into the world of motorsport with PDK. So, they pushed the limits once again with the development of the new 911 GT3. Their goal was to produce a transmission with shorter gear ratios specific to the 911 GT3 and with a 50% reduction in shift throw on the even crisper and more dynamic gearshift paddles. The result was a PDK perfectly tuned to match the 3.8-litre engine that has been fitted in a 911 GT3 for the first time.

Goal achieved. Racing feel as standard. With seven performance-oriented gears including a 7th gear that has a sports ratio engineered for maximum speed. Manual operation of the 911 GT3 specific gear selector is based on the established motorsport principle: pull back to shift up, push forward to shift down.

Details about the PDK technology can be found in the Porsche technology glossary on pages 44 and 45.

Being proactive rather than reactive. Being there now, not soon. Instantaneous, not immediate. After all, there is no room for hesitation at the limit.

The chassis of the new 911 GT3 has been engineered to meet the challenging drive force at the rear axle, increased traction and faster acceleration. demands of motorsport – and, for this reason, it also facilitates extremely Whenever a less assertive driving style is adopted, the dynamic engine sporty everyday driving. mounts automatically soften to provide a greater level of comfort.

Rear-axle steering. Fitted as standard, the new rear-axle steering combines performance and everyday practicality. An electromechanical adjustment system at each rear wheel enables the steering angle to be adapted based on the current driving situation, steering input and vehicle speed.

The advantage for day-to-day driving: during low-speed manoeuvres, the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This has the virtual effect of shortening the wheelbase.

Dynamic engine mounts. Simply responding at the limit means that you’ve already lost. For performance driving in particular, it is essential not to underestimate the unforgiving laws of physics. You also need to know how to exploit them in the interests of dynamic performance. To help with this, the car features dynamic engine mounts.

The electronically controlled system minimises the oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially the engine, and combines the benefi ts of a hard or soft engine mounting arrangement.

Handling is noticeably more stable under load changes and during fast cornering. The dynamic engine mounts also reduce the vertical oscillations of the engine when accelerating under full load. The results are greater and more uniform

Aerodynamics.

Two hundredths of a second are worlds apart. What are we waiting for?

Clear rules apply at the limit. One of them being that a sporty design alone is not enough. Each detail must also serve a particular function.

The new front end has further improved the aerodynamics of the centre radiator. This is revealed to the eye by the customary 911 GT3 air outlet to the front of the luggage compartment lid. Together with the wider front spoiler lip, it provides much greater downforce at the front axle.

A distinguishing feature at the rear: the fixed rear wing. The wing, wing uprights and rear lid are made of a lightweight synthetic material. The ram-air collector intake is now a single unit. That’s the downforce and engine air induction prerequisites fulfilled. The aerodynamics have also been enhanced by the new underbody panelling with diffuser function at the rear. The result is considerable downforce for enhanced driving stability and a drag coefficient of 0.33.

With its outstanding performance and excellent vehicle control, the new 911 GT3 breaks through boundaries – both in the mind and on the tarmac. Push your own limits. In the new 911 GT3.

Numbers are not everything. But they are extremely important for top athletes. And for the new Porsche 911 GT3, in particular.

When trying to achieve a new personal best, it’s those hundredths of a second that can be responsible for victory or defeat. They may just be numbers, but they can often make all the difference – especially when you are driving to the limit.

For those for whom 7:30 does not conjure up images of the early train to London, but of lap times in the Eifel. Porsche motorsport.

Fighting it out for every hundredth of a second and drawing on more than 60 years of experience – that’s Porsche motorsport. Our driving force: everyone who is committed heart and soul to using their expertise to take us forward – from drivers to engineers. On all of the world’s racetracks.

We all share in a common dream. For generations: ’s dream of a vehicle that could be capable of winning and yet also offer everyday practicality. One that has gone on to secure more than 30,000 racing victories to date.

This dream has become a reality. A striking example: the 911 GT3. It forms the basis for our successes in modern-day motor racing and is considered a legend because of its uncompromising performance.

Just like the 911 GT3, there is now also a new generation of the 911 GT3 Cup. A variant designed specifically for motorsport. A racing machine with considerable potential that is truly worthy of the ‘GT3’ logo.

In 2013, the new 911 GT3 Cup will once again be battling it out for those hundredths of a second on the racetracks of this world – at the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup The pinnacle of the one-make championships. Since 1993, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup has been held as part of the FIA World Championship – and as the only Gran Turismo race series. All cars are supported by profes- sional racing teams, which use two to three racing cars in the championship. The events mainly take place during the European Grand Prix, with a race distance of approximately 70 kilometres. The drivers, which include establis- hed personalities alongside promising new talent, give everything they h ave from start to finish. After all, another prize might just be up for grabs: a career in GT racing.

However, what is more important for Porsche than a position on the podium is the opportunity to gain experience, ideas and visions. All of the knowledge gathered on the racetrack is transferred into design and test principles for our production vehicles.

This close connection between racetrack and road is absolutely unique. It enables every Porsche customer to participate in racing – either directly or indirectly, allowing them to feel what drives us. Past, present and future. With soul, conviction and vision.

As light as once in racing use: thin sheet metal spare parts for the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7

It was regarded as one of the most powerful 911 models of its time. Today, it is one of the world’s most desirable collector’s items: the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7.

The iconic sports car from 1972–73 secured its place in the history books as the world’s first road vehicle to feature a front spoiler as well as a standard rear spoiler. Less visually striking, but highly effective in racing, the light- weight body construction was another of the car’s highlights. For instance, many of the body components of the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 shell were formed from much thinner sheet metal than on other 911 models.

As the authenticity of racing legends is something close to our hearts at Porsche Classic, we are now offering these thin sheet metal components as replacement parts for the first time. The original wings, front bonnet, side parts and door outer skin are now available for the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 – a reminder of a vehicle of which only a total of 1,580 examples were ever built.
