diagnostics to be performed on the
steering wheel display. Extra sensors on
the car augment the information content
of acquired vehicle data. This, in turn,
increases the data evaluation potential.
We’ve also further increased safety: the
enlarged roof hatch provides easier
access to the driver. In addition, the
proven bodyshell of aluminium and steel
hybrid construction satisfies all safety
requirements.
Developed from scratch, the new engine
offers even greater power output than
before. This four-litre six-cylinder boxer
unit delivers up to 357 kW (485 hp)
at 7,500 rpm. Drive force is transmit ted to the rear axle by a racing clutch and a
Porsche six-speed sequential dog-t ype
transmission. Gears are changed manually
by means of paddle shifters with
electropneumatic assistance.
A key advantage of the new drive system:
we’ve managed to double the engine and
transmission run times before the first
rebuild is due (engine: from 50 to
100 hours; transmission: from 30 to
60 hours). For reduced operating costs.
The new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup represents
more than just a ticket to the One-Make-
Series. It is a pure-bred race car, optimised
for customer racing.
911 – three digits that have been writing
sports car and motorsports history for
over 50 years. This experience formed
the basis for the ongoing development
that led to the emergence of the
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in its latest
generation. Power, aerodynamics,
longevit y, safet y, cost efficiency – we’ve
improved every aspect. As a mat ter
of principle. But, above all, for our
customers.
The new front and rear aprons optimise
the airflow and see FIA rain lights
integrated into the design for the first
time. Even the control concept is new: the
revised software enables vehicle
Noticeably more space: for the cylinders.
