Brakes.
At the limit, you need one thing above all:
reserves. Not only for power, but for
safet y, too. This is possible only with a
raceproven technology on which the
driver can depend at all times. Only this
can free up extra room for manoeuvre,
especially in the red zone.
The new 911 GT3 is therefore equipped
with a particularly powerful yet light
weight brake system with a specifically

But never beyond.
matched brake booster. The red six piston
aluminium brake calipers on the front axle
and the four piston equivalents at the
rear are designed as monobloc units. This
makes them tougher and enables a more
rapid response and release of the brake,
even under heav y loads.
That’s not all. The brake dimensions on
the new 911 GT3 have been enlarged to
cope with the increase in engine power.
The brake discs are 380 mm in diameter not only at the front but now also at
the rear. Thanks to their t wo piece
construction with cast iron brake discs
and aluminium brake chambers, they
reduce weight and thus the unsprung
and rotating masses. The brake discs
are cross drilled and internally vented
for powerful braking even in adverse
weather conditions. Or when pitted
against the challenges of motorsport.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
From the start, Porsche has been synony
mous with motorsport. Ever since 1948,
we have pushed the boundaries of
dynamic performance on the racetrack.
We have taken the experience we have
gained and applied it directly to the road.
The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) is a fine example. In numer
ous race series, including the Porsche
Mobil 1 Supercup, it has been proven to
withstand the harshest demands of the
track.
Nevertheless, resting on our laurels isn’t
our st yle. That ’s why we have also adapt
ed PCCB dimensions to match the perfor
mance capabilities of the new 911 GT3. The cross
drilled ceramic brake discs are
now 410 mm in diameter at the front
and 390 mm at the rear for even more
formidable braking performance.
The use of six piston aluminium mono
bloc fixed brake calipers on the front
axle and four piston units at the rear –
all finished in yellow – ensures extremely
high brake forces which, crucially, are
exceptionally consistent.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances
in even the toughest road and race
conditions. Excellent fade resistance
provides greater balance when slowing
from racetrack speeds.
The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of a
similar design and size. As well as
enhancing performance and fuel econ
omy, this represents a major reduction
in unsprung and rotating masses.
This results in bet ter road holding and
increased comfort, particularly on uneven
roads, as well as greater agilit y and
improved handling.
Please note that circuit racing, trackday
use and other forms of performance
driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
pads and discs. As with conventional high
performance braking systems, we
recommend that all brake components
be professionally inspected and replaced
where necessary after every track event.
Driver and passenger airbags.
We use advanced airbag technology in
the form of full size driver and front pas
senger airbags, which are inflated in t wo
stages depending on the severit y and
t ype of accident (e.g. frontal or offset
frontal). In less serious accidents, the air
bags are only partially inflated, thereby
minimising discomfort to the occupants.
Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).
POSIP, fit ted as standard, consists of
side impact protection beams in the
doors and t wo side airbags on each side:
an integral thorax airbag is located in
each seat side bolster and an upwards
inflating head airbag is incorporated
within each door.
Additional safety features include the
headrests which form an integral part of
each seat, an energy absorbing steering
column, three point seat belts with pre
tensioners and force limiters and energy
absorbing elements in the dashboard.
