The Porsche GT3 Launch Event in Limassol by A.I. Motokinisi Ltd
A.I. Motokinisi Ltd, the official importers and distributors of Porsche cars in
Cyprus, have organized the launch event for the new Porsche GT3. The event
took place at the Porsche Showroom in Limassol.
Two very unique 911 GT3 models were on dynamic display, one in a special colour “Shark Blue” and the other in a custom colour of “Nato Olive Green”.
The distinctive strength of the 911 GT3 lies in the sum of its characteristics. The
double-wishbone front axle layout and sophisticated aerodynamics with swan
neck rear wing and striking diffuser originate from the successful GT race car 911
RSR and the 375 kW (510 PS), four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine is based on
the drivetrain of the 911 GT3 R, tried and tested in endurance racing.
The acoustically impressive, the high-revving engine is also used practically unchanged in the new 911 GT3 Cup. The result is a brilliant driving machine: efficient and emotional, precise and high-performance – perfect for the circuit and superb for everyday use.
With a top speed of 320 km/h and 318 km/h with PDK, it is even faster than the
previous 911 GT3 RS. It accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
Porsche also offers the new model with a six-speed manual transmission for a
particularly puristic driving experience.
The sophisticated aerodynamics benefit from the experiences gained from motor
racing and generate significantly more downforce without noticeably affecting the
drag coefficient. In the performance position, the manually set wing and diffuser
elements significantly increase the aerodynamic pressure for high cornering
speeds.
This is, however, reserved strictly for outings on the circuit, as it is there that the
911 GT3 can play all its trump cards. During final testing, it lapped the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife, traditionally the ultimate proving ground for all sports
cars developed by Porsche, over 17 seconds quicker than its predecessor.
