Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an automatic control system for
providing stabilit y at the limits of dyn­
amic driving performance. In addition to
the anti ­lock braking system, it includes
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and
Traction Control (TC).
Sensors continuously monitor the direc ­
tion, speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration of the car. Using this infor ­
mation, PSM is able to calculate the
actual direction of travel at any given
moment. If the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective braking
on individual wheels to restore stabilit y. What ’s special about PSM in the new
911
GT3? The systems intervene at the
limits of dynamic driving performance
with exceptional sensitivit y and precision.
In addition, the systems can be complete ­
ly deactivated in t wo stages for deliber ­
ately sporty handling.

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus is fit ted as
standard and has been specially adapted
to the new 911 GT3. It operates in con ­
junction with an electronically regulated
and fully variable rear differential lock.
Numerous driving parameter inputs are the basis for the system’s active control
outputs. The results are perceptible, par
­
ticularly at the limits of dynamic perfor ­
mance: greater traction, increased lateral
dynamics and a significant improvement
in driving stabilit y under the effects of
load changes in corners and when the car
changes lane. On surfaces with less grip,
such as in the wet, the system strategically
brakes the right or left rear wheel. This
means that, whenever the car enters a
corner, brake pressure is applied to the
inside rear wheel. Consequently, a greater
amount of drive force is distributed to the
outside rear wheel. This improves steering
behaviour and increases agility. In combination, both aspects of PT V Plus
offer tangible benefits, giving you
unrivalled pleasure at every t wist and
turn. It ’s just as well there happens

to be so many waiting on the racetrack.

Brakes.
At the limit, you need one thing above all:
reserves. Not only for power, but for
safet y, too. This is possible only with a
race­proven technology on which the
driver can depend at all times. Only this
can free up extra room for manoeuvre,
especially in the red zone.
The new 911 GT3 is therefore equipped
with a particularly powerful yet light ­
weight brake system with a specifically
Driving at the limit.
But never beyond.
matched brake booster. The red six ­piston
aluminium brake calipers on the front axle
and the four ­piston equivalents at the
rear are designed as monobloc units. This
makes them tougher and enables a more
rapid response and release of the brake,
even under heav y loads.
That’s not all. The brake dimensions on
the new 911 GT3 have been enlarged to
cope with the increase in engine power.
The brake discs are 380 mm in diameter not only at the front but now also at

the rear. Thanks to their t wo ­piece
construction with cast iron brake discs
and aluminium brake chambers, they
reduce weight and thus the unsprung
and rotating masses. The brake discs
are cross ­drilled and internally vented
for powerful braking even in adverse
weather conditions. Or when pitted
against the challenges of motorsport.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
From the start, Porsche has been synony­
mous with motorsport. Ever since 1948,
we have pushed the boundaries of
dynamic performance on the racetrack.
We have taken the experience we have
gained and applied it directly to the road.
The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) is a fine example. In numer ­
ous race series, including the Porsche
Mobil 1 Supercup, it has been proven to
withstand the harshest demands of the
track.
Nevertheless, resting on our laurels isn’t
our st yle. That ’s why we have also adapt ­
ed PCCB dimensions to match the perfor ­
mance capabilities of the new 911 GT3. The cross
­drilled ceramic brake discs are
now 410 mm in diameter at the front
and 390 mm at the rear for even more
formidable braking performance.
The use of six ­piston aluminium mono ­
bloc fixed brake calipers on the front
axle and four ­piston units at the rear –
all finished in yellow – ensures extremely
high brake forces which, crucially, are
exceptionally consistent.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race
conditions. Excellent fade resistance

provides greater balance when slowing
from racetrack speeds.
The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of a
similar design and size. As well as
enhancing performance and fuel econ­
omy, this represents a major reduction
in unsprung and rotating masses.
This results in bet ter road holding and
increased comfort, particularly on uneven
roads, as well as greater agilit y and
improved handling.
Please note that circuit racing, trackday
use and other forms of performance
driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
pads and discs. As with conventional high
­performance braking systems, we
recommend that all brake components
be professionally inspected and replaced
where necessary after every track event.
Driver and passenger airbags.
We use advanced airbag technology in
the form of full ­size driver and front pas ­
senger airbags, which are inflated in t wo
stages depending on the severit y and
t ype of accident (e.g. frontal or offset
frontal). In less serious accidents, the air ­
bags are only partially inflated, thereby
minimising discomfort to the occupants.
Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).
POSIP, fit ted as standard, consists of
side impact protection beams in the
doors and t wo side airbags on each side:
an integral thorax airbag is located in
each seat side bolster and an upwards ­
inflating head airbag is incorporated
within each door.
Additional safety features include the
headrests which form an integral part of
each seat, an energy ­absorbing steering
column, three ­point seat belts with pre ­
tensioners and force limiters and energy ­
absorbing elements in the dashboard.

Interior.
The sports car environment in the new
911 GT3 is perfectly adapted to the
driver. Man and machine are as one.
Which is just as well because, on the
racetrack, there is usually only a fraction
of a second in which to make the right
decision. Accelerate or brake. Pass lef t
or right. Refuel or chance another lap.
Speed is critical in the cockpit, too.
The driver needs information that can
be accessed quickly and an interior ergonomics concept that enables even
faster use of it.
The requirement is fulfilled by an ascend
­
ing centre console that places the gear
selector within direct reach of the steer ­
ing wheel, by ergonomic gearshift pad ­
dles on the steering wheel itself and by
conveniently positioned controls that
dispense with unnecessary gadgetry but
do open up new possibilities on the
racetrack. 30,000 racing victories were
not achieved by engine power alone.
Instruments.
Precise not fanciful, minimalist not kitsch.
True to Porsche st yle, the five circular
instruments integrated in the cockpit lead
the way. In the middle is the rev counter.
Its dial face is titanium­coloured and
bears the ‘GT3’ logo. The gear and
upshift indicator helps you to achieve
optimum acceleration.
For the first time in a 911 GT3, the instru ­
ment cluster is equipped with a high ­
resolution 4.6 ­inch TFT colour display. It provides you with data from the on
­board
computer, including average speed and
fuel consumption, fuel range and outside
temperature, and allows you to view Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) information
as well as data from the stopwatch of the
optional Sport Chrono Package. It also
reminds you of your selected communica ­
tion and audio set tings or displays the
map of the optional navigation system –
but only for the rare occasion you aren’t
on the racetrack.
Designed for high speeds.
