Porsche 911 GT3

The Porsche 911 GT3 is a high-performance homologation model of the 911 sports car, a range of track-focused cars that began with the 1973 911 Carrera RS. The GT3 name was introduced in 1999 with the first generation of the 996 as a homologation model for the GT class, before the Group GT3 existed in 2005. Like earlier 911 RS cars it was focused on racing and left out items that added weight, with most sound deadening, the rear seats, rear speakers, sunroof and air conditioning removed. The 996 GT3 engine is naturally aspirated and based on the Mezger racing engine of the 962 and 911 GT1, and makes 265 kW against 221 kW for a standard 996. The GT3 has had a successful career in the one-make Porsche Carrera Cup series and the Porsche Supercup.
