2013 PORSCHE 911 GT3 display

Wheels and tyres.
Twent y inches instead of the 19 on the
predecessor model. Another improvement
to dynamic performance that brings you
closer to the sport y limit. The wheels
are platinum ­coloured and made from a
forged alloy.
The central locking device with ‘GT3’ logo
is derived from motorsport. Compared
with the conventional five ­bolt wheel con ­
nection, it offers enhanced performance
thanks to the reduction in rotating masses.
And, of course, it ensures a faster wheel
change, which is vital when you’re in the
pit and the clock is ticking. Tyre sizes are 245/35 ZR 20 on

9 J x 20 at the front and 305/30 ZR 20
on 12 J x 20 at the rear.

Road ­legal sports t yres on the new
911 GT3 help to provide the grip it
needs. Bear in mind, however, that the
reduced tread depth increases the
risk of aquaplaning on wet surfaces.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) is fit ted
as standard in the new 911 GT3. Not only
does it send warnings to the on ­board
computer’s display screen in the event
of a gradual or sudden loss of pressure,
it also features a racetrack mode. This
takes into consideration the pressure and temperature characteristics of the t yres
on the circuit and precisely monitors
the pressure set in each individual t yre.
In other words, TPM is designed around
your sporting passion.
Porsche Active Suspension

Management (PASM).
This electronic active damping system
offers continuous adjustment of the
damping force on each wheel based on
the current driving situation and your
driving st yle.
At the press of a but ton, you can select
bet ween t wo different modes. ‘Normal’
mode is designed for sport y driving on
public roads and on wet racetracks.
‘Sport ’ mode is specially tuned for
maximum lateral acceleration and offers
the best possible traction on the track.

Interior.
The sports car environment in the new
911 GT3 is perfectly adapted to the
driver. Man and machine are as one.
Which is just as well because, on the
racetrack, there is usually only a fraction
of a second in which to make the right
decision. Accelerate or brake. Pass lef t
or right. Refuel or chance another lap.
Speed is critical in the cockpit, too.
The driver needs information that can
be accessed quickly and an interior ergonomics concept that enables even
faster use of it.
The requirement is fulfilled by an ascend
­
ing centre console that places the gear
selector within direct reach of the steer ­
ing wheel, by ergonomic gearshift pad ­
dles on the steering wheel itself and by
conveniently positioned controls that
dispense with unnecessary gadgetry but
do open up new possibilities on the
racetrack. 30,000 racing victories were
not achieved by engine power alone.
Instruments.
Precise not fanciful, minimalist not kitsch.
True to Porsche st yle, the five circular
instruments integrated in the cockpit lead
the way. In the middle is the rev counter.
Its dial face is titanium­coloured and
bears the ‘GT3’ logo. The gear and
upshift indicator helps you to achieve
optimum acceleration.
For the first time in a 911 GT3, the instru ­
ment cluster is equipped with a high ­
resolution 4.6 ­inch TFT colour display. It provides you with data from the on
­board
computer, including average speed and
fuel consumption, fuel range and outside
temperature, and allows you to view Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) information
as well as data from the stopwatch of the
optional Sport Chrono Package. It also
reminds you of your selected communica ­
tion and audio set tings or displays the
map of the optional navigation system –
but only for the rare occasion you aren’t
on the racetrack.
Designed for high speeds.
Speed of travel and speed of thought.

Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) including navigation module.
Available as an option, Porsche Communi­
cation Management (PCM) is your control
centre for audio, navigation and commu ­
nication functions. The main feature is
the intuitive seven ­inch touchscreen.
Radio functions include up to 42 memory
presets and an FM dual tuner with RDS
diversit y. The CD/ DVD drive plays CDs
and audio DVDs and is MP3 ­compatible.
With the universal audio interface (USB)
in the glove compartment, you can con ­
nect your iPod
® or any other compatible
audio source of your choice. By means
of the USB socket, it is also possible
to download data from the performance display of the Sport Chrono Package, as
well as data from the electronic logbook.
In the opposite direction, you can trans
­
fer up to 10,000 tracks in MP3 format to
the internal hard drive of PCM and create
your own jukebox.
The navigation module of PCM with high ­
speed hard drive allows you to choose
bet ween a 2D display and a 3D perspec ­
tive. In some regions, even terrain can be
displayed in 3D. The navigation module
also features dynamic route guidance,
which recalculates the route in response
to of ficial traf fic messages (TMC) and
information from traffic flow sensors
(TMC Pro).

Sport Chrono Package.
A precision instrument at the limit: the
optional Sport Chrono Package, com­
prising an analogue and digital stopwatch
on the dashboard. It is operated by the
control stalk for the on ­board computer
and presents timed hours, minutes and
seconds in analogue format. Seconds,
tenths and hundredths of a second
appear on the stopwatch display screen
and are also duplicated on a digital
display in the instrument cluster.
In conjunction with Porsche Communica ­
tion Management (PCM), Sport Chrono
Package functionalit y is enhanced with a
performance display and the abilit y to
display, store and evaluate recorded lap
times. In this way, the driver can view the
current lap time and distance, number of
laps completed and other times achieved
so far. It is also possible to view the
current fastest lap and range until empt y.
Any travelled distances can be recorded
and benchmark times defined. After all,
you can’t push the limit in just one day.
