  • Porsche 997 GT3 RS vs 991 GT3 ft. Sabine Schmitz [video]

    Here is an awesome video featuring Sabine Schmitz and her private Porsche 997 GT3 RS going against the new 991 GT3. The “Queen of the Nürburgring” seems very curious to check how fast is the updated sports car.

    Still, she has some “trump-cards” in her sleeve like a KW competition suspension and an uprated braking system. However, this doesn’t help during the drag race between two sport cars.

    The new 991 GT3 simply obliterates its predecessor, which is powered by a 3.8 liter naturally-aspirated six-cylinder boxer engine – 450HP (331 kW) at 7,900RPM and 430Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque at 6,750RPM. The engine is connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox sending the power to the rear wheels. 0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 310 km/h (192 mph). The curb weight is 1,445 kg (3,186 lbs).

    The 991 GT3 has an updated 3.8 liter boxer engine with 474HP (349 kW) and 440Nm (326 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is connected to a 7-speed PDK automatic transmission sending the power to the rear wheels. Although the car is 60 kg heavier than Sabine’s car, it does ¼ mile in 11.2 seconds.

    “Compared to my car is a rocket!”, she commented.

    Enjoy!

  • Porsche 997 GT3 With New Outfit By Cam Shaft

    Cam-Shaft-Porsche-997-GT3-THUMBThe German tuning company Cam Shaft is famous for its full-scale or partial car wrapping, coating protection foilings and car styling themes as well as sportive car foiling. Now the specialists are revealing their latest project. They have given the Porsche 997 GT3 a completely new appearance.

    First, they wrapped the car full-scale in pearly white foil. Then an individually customized Martini racing design was at hand. The latter starts in the front under a headlight, goes upwards at the car door over the top and descends on the other side downwards. What is important to mention is that Cam Shaft made the foil wrapping of the car to enter the visible door edges.

    Furthermore, the tuning of this Porsche did not end with the exterior improvement. There was made an in-house PP performance engine optimization which lead to the improvement of the performance of the power output of the engine. To be more precise, it was raised from 415 hp (305 kW) up to 435 hp (320 kW).

    In addition, there were also added 3 KW coilovers in order to make better the driving dynamics of the car. At last, the professionals added original GT3 rims in matt black powder-coated which were delivered by AG-Felgenveredlung Krefeld.
