  • 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.

  • 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 R based on 997

    Porsche has introduced the new 911 GT3 R, which is based on the 997 model. With its widened fender flares front and rear, the successful customer sport racer, fielded in the GT3 classes, looks considerably brawnier than its predecessor.

    The new aerodynamics generates substantially more downforce, allowing for higher cornering speeds and later braking points. The wider track and the adapted wheels provide additional improvement in traction.

    The front bumper panels, all fenders, the sill covers, the rear panel and underbody with rear diffuser received further fine-tuning in the wind tunnel. The rear wing was enlarged to the width of the vehicle and repositioned to work optimally with the redesigned body.

    The suspension is also modified. The track of both the front and rear axle grew by 50 millimetres and the wheelbase is 10 mm longer.

    the engine is a 4.0 liter flat-six with 500HP (368 kW). It is connected to a 6-speed sequential dog-type gearbox with steering-wheel mounted shift paddles.

    The entire conversion costs €45,500 (including taxes).

  • Porsche 997 Carrera S with Emotion Wheels Concave

    Porsche-THUMBThis Porsche 997 Carrera S is equipped with new Emotion Wheels Concave. Looks fantastic, doesn’t it? The philosophy behind these alloy wheel rims is pure geometry. In addition, the wheel bears the highly promising name “Concave“ and has a characteristic inward bulging rim-star. Yet this is not the only characteristic of the Emotion Wheels Concave.

    In particular the Porsche is equipped with Emotion Wheels Concave in the black matt finishing with the upgraded carbon-wrap finishing of the rim wells. The rims measuring 8.5×19 / 11×19 inches bear the original tires of the dimensions 235/35ZR19 and 295/30ZR19.

    Another highlight here is that the rims are factory-fitted with fully winterproof light alloy wheel and a replaceable high-grade steel rim-well. This leaves little possibility for scrapes and damages which can happen even to the most experienced of all drivers.
