December 01,2021,Kuala Lumpur.Malaysia-Porsche Malaysia, represented by Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP) launched the seventh generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 at the Sepang International Circuit.
The Porsche 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 with Touring Package is now open for pre-order in Malaysia, with prices starting from RM1,766,244.00 with SST exemption.
“Motorsport has always been a core tenet of the Porsche brand identity, and the 911 GT3 has long exemplified this passion for racing by transferring every ounce of expertise gained on the track onto the road. With the all-new 911 GT3 we are launching today, we are giving our customers the purest driving thrills possible behind the wheel of a Porsche 911,” said Christopher Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of SDAP.
“While the 911 GT3 makes for an ideal Sepang companion for the active community of track-going Porsche owners here in Malaysia, those who prefer to experience the dynamic qualities of the GT3 in a more understated fashion across longer journeys can go for the Touring Package which transforms the GT3 into a more road-oriented grand tourer (GT),” he added.
The latest in a long line of pure driving machines, the distinctive strength of the all-new 911 GT3 lies in the sum of its characteristics. It features a naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre six-cylinder which develops 375 kW (510 PS) and 470 Nm of maximum torque. Weighing only 1,435 kilograms when equipped with the standard 7-speed PDK, the 911 GT3 is capable of a top speed of 320 km/h, making it considerably faster than the previous 911 GT3 RS.
Additionally, enthusiasts can configure their 911 GT3 with a 6-speed manual GT sports gearbox, or opt for the GT3 Touring Package at no additional cost.
A true road-legal GT race car, the all-new 911 GT3 inherits elements straight from racing; for the first time, the car features a double-wishbone front suspension layout taken from the Le Mans-winning 911 RSR race car, with specific geometry and calibration changing the car’s turn-in behaviour and allowing for sure-footed agility on the racetrack.
Despite a wider body, larger wheels, as well as additional technical and safety features, the new 911 GT3 tips the scales on par with its predecessor. Equipped with the standard 6-speed manual transmission, the GT3 weights just 1,418 kilograms (7-speed PDK: 1,435 kilograms).
911 GT3 with Touring Package: where performance meets understatement
Though more discreet and subtle in appearance, the 911 GT3 with Touring Package delivers the same high performance expected from a GT vehicle. Featuring a 6-speed manual GT sports gearbox as standard, the 911 GT3 with Touring Package is offered as a distinguished alternative to the purist 911 GT3, and is perfectly suited to sports car connoisseurs with a passion for understatement and classic driving pleasure.
The most conspicuous difference with the Touring Package is the omission of the fixed rear wing of the 911 GT3. In its place is an automatically extending rear spoiler which offers the necessary downforce at high speeds while maintaining a more understated aesthetic. Silver-coloured trim strips made of high-gloss anodised aluminium on the side windows are another distinguishing feature, while the front end is painted completely in the exterior colour.
The rear lid grille features a unique ‘GT3 Touring” logo, which sits above the signature Porsche lettering, also finished in silver.
Almost all optional equipment available for the 911 GT3 can be specified in combination with the Touring Package. This includes all exterior and wheel colours, LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS), Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), lift system on the front axle, seat variations, assist systems, audio systems and the Sport Chrono package.
The interior: Cockpit fit for a professional driver
The racing genes of the 911 GT3 are proudly expressed within the cabin of the GT3. The cockpit is designed in line with the current 992 generation, but the GT3-specific instrument cluster features a central rev counter, which goes up to 10,000rpm, flanked by two high-resolution 7.0-inch displays featuring the new track screen.
This feature allows the driver to simplify the digital displays to prioritise vital track information such as tyre pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature and fuel tank level at the touch of a button. It also includes a visual shift assistant with coloured bars to the left and right of the rev counter and a shift light to facilitate more accurately-timed gear changes.
Like all 992 generation 911 models, infotainment in the 911 GT3 is centred on a high-resolution 10.9-inch touchscreen display featuring the latest Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with online navigation and Porsche Connect Plus. This system also supports the Porsche Track Precision App, which helps drivers maximise their track sessions and improve lap times by providing detailed driving data, including live displays and video analyses.
Enhanced customisation and exclusive chronographs
Following heightened demand for customised equipment among Porsche GT models, the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur range has been updated to include GT3-specific options such as a lightweight roof made of exposed carbon fibre, exterior mirror tops made of carbon, darkened LED matrix headlight bases and matching Exclusive design rear lights with an arc of light without the red components. Optional Guards Red or Shark Blue painted wheel rims allow owners to enhance the visual impact of the black alloy wheels. Inside, equipment details such as the dials for the rev counter and Sport Chrono stopwatch, seatbelts and trim can also be customised to almost any colour of choice.
For even more exclusivity, Porsche offers its special ‘Paint to Sample’ programme for ultimate exterior personalisation, with 105 classic shades from Porsche’s past catalogue, as well as bespoke possibilities according to a customer’s choice, subject to availability.
The new 911 GT3 is now available for pre-order at Porsche Centres nationwide. To find out more and register your interest, visit our dealer websites.
