2013 PORSCHE 911 GT3 sensor

Intake manifold.
In interaction with the sports exhaust
system, the plastic variable intake manifold
helps to ensure efficient gas cycles and
high throughput.
To guarantee high torque and power
across a broad engine speed range,
the conventional distributor pipe in the
new 911 GT3 is supplemented by a
resonance pipe with resonance flap. This is opened or closed depending on
the engine speed. For optimum cylinder
charge.
This results in an impressive torque
curve, a high maximum torque and
ultimate power output across a broad
engine speed range.
Sports exhaust system.
The sports exhaust system of the new
911
GT3 has t wo front silencers, t wo
catalytic converters and one rear silencer,
which discharges into the central twin ­tract
tailpipes. The large volume of the exhaust
system reduces exhaust backpressure and
thus increases power output.
The t wo Lambda sensors of the stereo
Lambda control circuitry regulate the composition of the exhaust gas separately
in each exhaust tract, while another

pair monitors pollutant conversion in the
respective cataly tic converters.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an automatic control system for
providing stabilit y at the limits of dyn­
amic driving performance. In addition to
the anti ­lock braking system, it includes
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and
Traction Control (TC).
Sensors continuously monitor the direc ­
tion, speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration of the car. Using this infor ­
mation, PSM is able to calculate the
actual direction of travel at any given
moment. If the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective braking
on individual wheels to restore stabilit y. What ’s special about PSM in the new
911
GT3? The systems intervene at the
limits of dynamic driving performance
with exceptional sensitivit y and precision.
In addition, the systems can be complete ­
ly deactivated in t wo stages for deliber ­
ately sporty handling.

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus is fit ted as
standard and has been specially adapted
to the new 911 GT3. It operates in con ­
junction with an electronically regulated
and fully variable rear differential lock.
Numerous driving parameter inputs are the basis for the system’s active control
outputs. The results are perceptible, par
­
ticularly at the limits of dynamic perfor ­
mance: greater traction, increased lateral
dynamics and a significant improvement
in driving stabilit y under the effects of
load changes in corners and when the car
changes lane. On surfaces with less grip,
such as in the wet, the system strategically
brakes the right or left rear wheel. This
means that, whenever the car enters a
corner, brake pressure is applied to the
inside rear wheel. Consequently, a greater
amount of drive force is distributed to the
outside rear wheel. This improves steering
behaviour and increases agility. In combination, both aspects of PT V Plus
offer tangible benefits, giving you
unrivalled pleasure at every t wist and
turn. It ’s just as well there happens

to be so many waiting on the racetrack.

Cockpit I 57
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.

On the ecological side, all materials used
are meticulously selected. Each light­
weight material is easily recyclable
and all plastic components are labelled
to facilitate separation for recycling.
The
reduction in the number of plastic
variants helps to ensure more efficient
recycling. Recycled plastics are used
where they meet our exacting technical
requirements.
In short, the new 911 GT3 is around 95 %
recoverable. In addition, Porsche uses a
high proportion of environmentally friendly
water ­based paints. For us, environmental protection does not begin at the end of

a vehicle’s life. It starts at the planning
and development stage.
Emission control.
The new 911 GT3 meets the strict Euro 5
emission standard in the EU and LEV II
in the USA. Vehicles manufactured by
Porsche demonstrate that even high ­
performance sports cars can achieve
moderate emission values in their
respective category. This puts the new
911 GT3 among not only the most powerful sports cars of the future, but
also the cleanest.
This has been accomplished not least by
the t wo cataly tic converters and stereo
Lambda control circuits, which monitor
each cylinder bank separately. For each
exhaust tract, t wo Lambda sensors regu
­
late the composition of the exhaust gas.
Another Lambda sensor for each cylinder
bank monitors pollutant conversion in the
respective cataly tic converter.
Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the new
911 GT3 – are designed to operate on
fuels with an ethanol content of up to
10 %, e.g. ‘E10’. Ethanol has a positive
impact on the CO2 balance since the
plants grown for the production of
this biofuel also absorb CO
2 from the
atmosphere.
The release of hydrocarbons from the
fuel system has been minimised thanks
to the active carbon filter and the
multi ­layered material from which the
fuel tank is made. All fuel lines are
made from multi ­layered plastic, steel
or aluminium.
