30 I Ideal line
Chassis.
The chassis of the new 911 GT3 has
been engineered to meet the challenging
demands of motorsport – and for this
reason it also provides extremely sport y
day to day driving. The ride height of the
new 911 GT3 is 30 mm lower than that
of the 911 Carrera. In conjunction with
a series of specifically tuned chassis
components, this offers extraordinary
agilit y, a high degree of driving safet y and
stable handling, particularly in corners.
The independent front suspension
combines McPherson type struts with

longitudinal and transverse links. The
rear axle has a multi link suspension,
following the LSA (Light weight, Stable,
Agile) concept. Height, camber, track
and the anti roll bars can be individually
adapted for use on the racetrack.
Additional ball joints on the front and
rear axles help to establish a particularly
firm connection between the chassis
and the body.
An optional lift system at the front axle
raises the front end by 30 mm. Operable
up to a speed of approximately 50 km/ h, it minimises the risk of grounding on
kerbs, ramps and car park entrances.
Rear-axle steering.
Fit ted as standard, the new rear
axle
steering combines performance and
everyday practicality. An electromechani
cal adjustment system at each rear wheel
enables the steering angle to be adapted
based on the current driving situation,
steering input and vehicle speed.
The advantage for day to day driving:
during low speed manoeuvres, the
system steers the rear wheels in the
opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This has the virtual effect of
shortening the wheelbase. The turning
circle is reduced to make it easier to
park. The advantage for sport y driving:
during high
speed manoeuvres, the sys
tem steers the rear wheels in the same
direction as that of the front wheels.
Driving stabilit y is increased by the virtual
extension of the wheelbase and agilit y
is enhanced by the simultaneous steering
of the front and rear axles, especially
during overtaking manoeuvres on the
racetrack.

Interior materials.
Durability, stability and resilience. These
are the essential ingredients for materials
in a sport y environment. It is an environ
ment dominated by Alcantara, leather and
interior parts in Galvano Silver as well
as brushed aluminium. Here, materials
must be practical – and top qualit y. The
fact that they also have the motorsport
feel is a welcome bonus.
Alcantara is easy to grip and maintain.
For this reason, it is mainly found in
places where there is direct contact: on
the steering wheel rim and gear selector
as well as on the door handles, door
armrests and lid of the centre console
storage compartment. The rooflining
and C pillar trims are also finished in
A lcantara.
Steering wheel.
Change gear like a motorsport profes
sional with the GT3 SportDesign steering
wheel with gearshift paddles. In the new
911 GT3, the shift throw of the paddles
has been further reduced by 50 %.
Gearshifts become even more direct
and precise.
The GT3 SportDesign steering wheel
offers up to 40 mm of height and reach
adjustment. The steering wheel rim
in black Alcantara is easy to grip and
remains in firm hands, even on sport y
drives.
The top centre marking is another
characteristic feature.
