MODEL HISTORY
Unveiled in 2006, the Porsche 911 GT3 (Type 997) marks a significant milestone in the history of the brand’s naturally aspirated GTs. Developed by the Motorsport department in Weissach, it carries on the tradition established by the 996 GT3 by retaining the legendary Mezger flat-six engine derived from racing. In the 997, this 3.6-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 415 chevaux and is distinguished by its ability to rev up to 8,500 tr/min, delivering a sound and character that have since become iconic. Available exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, the 997 GT3 offers a pure, almost rustic approach to driving, focused on driver engagement and chassis efficiency. It features significant weight reduction, functional aerodynamics with a fixed rear wing, and a race-derived suspension system, including PASM and brakes sized for heavy-duty use. With performance unmatched for its time (0 to 100 km/h in just over 4 seconds and a top speed of over 300 km/h), the 997 GT3 is now considered one of Porsche’s truly “analog” models. With 5,463 units produced, including the RS versions, it is now sought after as much for the purity of its driving experience as for the legendary durability of its engine.
