Becks, you're the bomb! Thanks a million.
How hot is this car?
Look at how those beautiful pedals are so perfectly placed.
And how is that Porsche are the only car company who can make the short wheelbase / long front & rear overhang thing look so damn sexy? Awesome.
Even better looking than the new 911 Turbo.

The 3.6 engine in the turbo, GT2 and GT3 is a completely different engine from the 3.6 in the 996/997 and the 3.8. The engine in the Turbo/GT2/GT3 is a direct descendent of the engine that was in the 911 GT1 from 1996-1998. It is an engine that is more suited to track use. I can't remember the specifics of why though.

Quite awsome. Altough the front still hasn't escaped the Bettle look, it's just awsome. Profile and rear, the best 911 ever.

Is it really completely different engine i.e. block, cylinder heads etc? I understood the 2004 GT3 3.6 litre to be an enhanced version of the donor engine from the Carrera with forged crank, titanium con-rods, different engine manifold and so on?
Hmm, memory fails me...
Oh and btw, that GT3 RS you've got on order? How many shades of green can you image right now?

New 911 GT3 World Premiere
The world’s fastest engine in the 3.6-liter class
In addition to the 911 Turbo, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany, is presenting another new automobile at the Geneva Motor Show. The new 911 GT3 will be unveiled to the world public for the very first time on February 28, 2006. This two-seater sports coupe will go on sale across Europe in May 2006.
In the 911 model range, the abbreviation GT3 stands for pure, unadulterated driving pleasure. With its uncompromising dynamics, this model impresses not only in normal day-to-day driving but also on the racetrack. The 305-kW (415-bhp) 3.6-liter flat-twin engine produces a specific output of 84.7 Kilowatts (115.3 bhp) per liter of displacement. This performance places the new-generation GT3 in its displacement class at the pinnacle of road-legal production sports cars with naturally aspirated engines.
The six-cylinder engine reaches its nominal output at 7,600 rpm. At 8,400 rpm, the engine speed limit again lies 200 revolutions higher than for the previous model. This makes it a world leader in its engine-size class. In addition to this high engine speed concept, the optimized airflow rate considerably improves performance. This is made possible by the variable intake system with a throttle valve enlarged from 76 to 82 millimeters, the optimized cylinder heads and an exhaust system with low backpressure.
The driver has a revised six-speed transmission at his disposal. It impresses with its very short gearlever travel and, thanks to the lower ratios of gears 2 to 6, ideally complements the racy engine.
New for the GT3 is a change-up display, which lights up on the rev counter shortly before the relevant engine speed is reached. It provides an additional signal at the best time to change gear. The measured values prove just how well the engine and gearbox are harmonized: the GT3 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, and reaches 160 km/h from a standing start in 8.7 seconds. Its top speed is 310 km/h.
The new 911 GT3 boasts an active chassis for the first time. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) offers two sporty chassis in one: the basic configuration is largely similar to that of the previous model and is suitable for driving on alternating road surfaces. In sport mode, the system switches to harder damping, thereby enabling even better dynamism on the racetrack.
For the best-possible transmission of engine power to the road, the GT3 is equipped with a comprehensive traction package, which includes not only the standard-equipment 19-inch sports tires but also a mechanical limited slip differential. In addition, the new electronic Traction Control – adapted from the Carrera GT high-performance sports car – ensures safe traction under any driving conditions. It features traction-slip and drag-torque control functions, and can be switched off completely if required.
The basic Euro price for the 911 GT3 is 93,000 Euros. In Germany, it will be offered including sales tax and country-specific requirements for 108,083 Euros. In the USA, the new GT3 will be available in dealerships from August 2006 for 106,000 Dollars (excluding tax).

"true" arrived E' the inhaled Carrera. The Porsche 911 GT3 997, in world-wide preview to the hall of Geneva. Mounted to jolt on the posterior axle, worst of the boxer it aspires to you, 3,6 liters from 415 cv to 7.600 giri/min.
On the prestazionali data, nothing to say, is of absolute excellence: from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 second ones, to 160 km/h it arrives to us in 8.7 second, the maximum speed is of 310 km/h. But these important data are not (single). As the friends of Motorsportblog say, who will buy this anzichè the 997 Turbo will make it why it is "one of the least cars, perhaps the only one, ready to pass from the track to the road indifferently". Or in order to say it with Porsche:
In range 911, abbreviation GT3 is for pure and genuine it appeal to of guide. With its street dynamics without compromises, this model not only makes an impression in the guide every day, but also in track.
The rest is details: 115 cv/litro, limiter to 8.400 turns, "active" chassis with two settaggi for suspensions (PASM), control of traction derived from Carrera GT, differentiates them mechanic to limited sliding.The price: 93.000? + Vat + taxes (approximately 115.000? in Italy).

Is it really completely different engine i.e. block, cylinder heads etc? I understood the 2004 GT3 3.6 litre to be an enhanced version of the donor engine from the Carrera with forged crank, titanium con-rods, different engine manifold and so on?
Hmm, memory fails me...
Oh and btw, that GT3 RS you've got on order? How many shades of green can you image right now?
I did some quick research on this. From Excellence magazine, June 2003 page 65:
"Look under a GT3 on a lift and you might notice that the crankcase number is 964.101.111.5R. Enthusiasts know this proven casing references a period thats more than 10 years gone; its the same case evolved for the 956/962LM Group C cars in 3.2 liter form, used later in the 911 GT1."
Chapter 59 of Excellence Was Expected details the engine development of the 996 GT3, GT2 and turbo- too much for me to type in...
i was in the porsche dealer today and they had a 997 tt and a 997 gt3 and they where standing next to eachother, both black and there was just one thing what caught me!! Wich is that the turbo is much nicer and good looking!(my opinion) offcourse but anyway lately me and KLIER where on the phone and whe where talking about: what will porsche do next, i mean will they go with a four liter boxer engine? i don't know!! so what will porsche do next i know the will bring up the liter volume but one day that is finished dont you guys think?? please give me your opinion about this because i sounds like a nice subject! cheers dyna
