Finshed in unmarked Zanzibar Red. With a black leather interior with lots of carbon accents. Sat on four unmarked wheels. The leather is in very good condtion.This is the best 911 996 GT3 we have came across. The Zanzibar red is simply beauitful. With the raw 3.5 enigne which puts out 355BHP this 996 GT3 is a real head turner. With a really racing experience of having a Manuel gearbox! This GT3 has a full service history and has had £1000s spent on looking after it. It has never been tracked. The Porsche 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured from 1997 to 2006. It was replaced by the 997 in 2004. The 996 had little in common with its predecessor, with the first all new chassis platform since the original 911 and a new water-cooled engine. Technically, it was a major change, a complete breakthrough from the original car other than overall layout. Development was shared with its entry-level sibling, the roadster-only Boxsterwhich was introduced around the same time, including the front suspension, various interior components, and the engine, all of which were enlarged for the 996. However, the Multi-Link rear suspension, was derived from the preceding 993. At its debut, the 996 featured the most significant change from the classic 911 series: a water-cooled engine replacing the previously air- cooled engine. Progressively stringent emissions and noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and the need for a high-performance 4 valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other major changes include a completely new platform having a sleeker body with a more raked windshield, and a re- designed interior along with new "fried egg" shaped headlamps instead of previous "bug eye" headlamps. The 996 platform was used as the basis for two lightweight GT variants called GT2and the GT3. The GT3 was based on the standard 996 Carrera, but was stripped of a great deal of equipment for weight savings, featuring stiffer, adjustable suspension and upgraded brakes. The GT3 used the bodyshell of the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4, which incorporated additional front-end stiffening. The GT3 was produced in two versions. The first, commonly referred to as the Mk.I GT3, was released in 1999 in all markets, save North America. It featured a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre flat-siex engine generating a maximum power output of 268 kW (364 PS; 359 hp). This engine was shared with the 996 Turbo and was a derivative of the engine developed for the 911 GT1 race car. The Mk.II GT3 variant was based on the second generation of the 996, and featured updated aerodynamics, and a more powerful version of the 3.6L engine from the MK.I, now producing 283 kW (385 PS; 380 hp). The Mk.II was the first GT3 marketed in the North America. An Mk.II GT3 was tested in 2004 and accelerated from 0– 97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 4.0 seconds, and produced 1.03 g on the skidpad, the second highest number ever recorded by a street-legal wehicle. The turbocharged counterpart to the GT3, the GT2, was Rear-wheel drive as well, to save weight and to avoid power losses through the transmission. The GT2 also received an added group of aerodynamic body parts, and twin-turbocharged re-tuned version of the 996 Turbo's 3.6 litre, engine featuring larger turbochargers and intercoolers a revised intake and exhaust system and re-programmed engine control software. The result was 355 kW (483 PS; 476 hp) at 5,700 rpm and 640 N⋅m (472 lbf⋅ft) at 3,500 to 4,500 rpm, enough to launch the car from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.9 seconds and to a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph). Bigger wheels and tyres along with lightweight ceramic brakes standard. The GT2's fixed rear wing (made of CFRP for the post-2003 cars) appears to be a concession to racing rules that usually outlaw adjustable aerodynamic components. The GT2 had no rear seat and no air conditioning and came with a factory installed roll cage. Both the GT3 and GT2 were available only with six-speed manual transmission. The Turbo, GT2 and GT3 models use the Aluminum crankcase of the air- cooled 911 with its true dry sump oiling system. The six separate individual Nikasil lined cylinders in this engine are covered with two separately installed water jackets each covering a bank of 3 cylinders on each side of the engine, thus adding water cooling to a crankcase originally designed for air-cooled cylinders (the normal 996 Carrera engine has the cylinders and water jackets cast together with the crankcase).

  • 2004 Porsche® 911® Gt3: a Pure Sports Car for the Porsche Purist
    Contact: Bob Carlson Martin Peters Manager, Motoring Press Manager, Business and Lifestyle Press 770-290-3676 (770) 290-3667 Jody Scott Product Publicity Specialist 770-290-3764 2004 PORSCHE® 911® GT3: A PURE SPORTS CAR FOR THE PORSCHE PURIST ATLANTA – The 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 is a car that has been acclaimed as the Porsche for purists. However, the GT3 is no mere homologation special. Although it does not carry Power to go, to what weekend racers might consider to be unnecessary ballast – things such as flow, and to stop a back seat – it remains a car that can be a daily driver. A reduction of the moving masses within the engine allows Porsche’s 3.6-liter, 380 horsepower six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine to spin more freely, producing more without horsepower and torque while allowing the GT3 to maintain the same fuel consumption ratings as other 911 models. turbocharging The 2004 911 GT3 is rated at 380 (SAE) horsepower (at 7,400 rpm) and at 285 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm. In first, second, third and fourth gears, the engine revs to 8,200 rpm before its computerized rev limiter is activated. Eighty percent of the engine’s maximum torque is available at as few as 2,000 rpm. For purposes of comparison, the 2004 Porsche 911 is rated at 315 horsepower (SAE), and the 2004 Porsche 911 Turbo provides 415 horsepower (SAE). In track testing, the 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 accelerates from a standing start to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.3 seconds and achieves 100 mph (161 km/h) in only 9.4 seconds.

  • Latest Porsche 911 GT3 to Be Fitted with MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup Tires
    PRESS INFORMATION 16 February 2021 Latest Porsche 911 GT3 to be fitted with MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup tires The seventh generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 (992), will be fitted with MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup tires as one of the original equipment fitments, plus the MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect tires will be available as a dealer-fit option for those who wish to push on- track performance to the limit. During testing carried out by Porsche on the 20.8-kilometre Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany, the car fitted with the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect tires posted a lap time of 6 minutes 59.927 seconds. While setting this time, the more often used reference lap distance of 20.6-kilometres was despatched in an equally impressive 6 minutes 55.2 seconds. Driven by Porsche test driver, Lars Kern, the 911 GT3 was fitted with 255/35 ZR 20 front and 315/30 ZR 21 rear MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect tires, and the production car fitment will be MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires in the same sizes. During preparations for the Nürburgring tests, Porsche tested tires from three different manufacturers at the Hockenheim race circuit, before selecting the MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect because it offered the best track performance. Speaking after setting the lap time, Lars Kern said: ‘The combination out of the new Porsche 911 GT3 and the Michelin tires feels incredibly balanced. The grip is super high and the response and driveabilty are on another level.’ Developed for drivers who want the ultimate performance during days on track, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect tires combine the casing design based on that of the Pilot Sport Cup 2 with motorsport rubber compounds, plus they are ready to be fitted with MICHELIN Track Connect sensors that enable them to be used with the MICHELIN Track Connect smartphone application.

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".
