The Porsche 911 GT3 sprints from 0-100kph in just 3.4 seconds and continues to accelerate till it tops out at 318kph. The GT3 with the manual gearbox is 0.5 seconds slower in the sprint to 100kph but has a higher top speed of 320kph.

The Porsche 911 GT3 comes equipped with rear axle steering as standard along with an adjustable damper system and dynamic engine mounts. The rear wing is made from carbon-fibre and the GT3 also features centre-locking wheels. The motorsport developed chassis also helps improve driving dynamics and agility.

DriveSpark Thinks!
The Porsche 911 GT3 is the 911 for the purists who were overjoyed with the return of the manual gearbox. The arrival of the 911 GT3 brings in another option for those drivers who prefer to let their supercar's performance do the talking rather than some gaudy colours and overtly pointy designs.
