2013 PORSCHE 911 GT3 sport mode

The new 911 GT3 I 11
For the first time, 7­speed Porsche Dop ­
pelkupplung (PDK) is fit ted as standard,
with short ratios designed exclusively for
the 911 GT3. The shift throws of the
gearshift paddles on the steering wheel
are even shorter and gear changes are
even more dynamic so as to provide
even better acceleration.
The rear of the new 911 GT3 is 44 mm
wider than that of the previous model. In
addition, the track at the rear axle has
been widened by 31 mm, which improves
lateral dynamics. The addition of 100 mm
to the wheelbase has significantly
increased driving stabilit y. Fit ted as
standard, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PT V Plus) helps to ensure even greater
stability when cornering, while rear
­axle
steering provides extraordinar y agilit y
and more dynamic overtaking manoeu ­
vres on the racetrack.
The new 911 GT3 explores the lower
limit in terms of fuel consumption
thanks to intelligent technologies such
as PDK, DFI and a low vehicle weight.
All in all, the new 911 GT3 is a precision
instrument, giving you everything you
could need to push your own boundaries.
Indeed, part of the brief for our engineers
was to build a manageable sports car
that feels at home on the racetrack, yet can be taken to brand new sport y
destinations by drivers who aren’t able

to tackle the Northern Loop of the
Nürburgring day in day out.
The new 911 GT3 preserves tradition for
the future – a principle that the 911 has
embodied for 50 years. It aims to push
the boundaries of what is possible, on
each new day.

2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to page 91.

Thrust I 27
This is how it works. PDK is essentially
t wo gearboxes in one and thus requires
t wo clutches. This double clutch
arrangement provides an alternating,
non­positive connection between the
t wo half gearboxes and the engine by
means of t wo separate input shafts.
During a gear change, therefore,
one clutch simply opens and the other
closes at the same time, enabling
gear changes to take place within
milliseconds. Highly responsive and especially sport y – just as you would
expect of the 911
GT3.
That in itself has consequences, not least
for acceleration, for overall performance
and for fuel economy. Positive conse ­
quences in fact. Driving feels even more
dynamic and agilit y is increased.
What about the gear changes them ­
selves? You’ll feel them and you’ll hear
them. Just like before, or indeed more
than ever. The electronic gearbox control logic of the Intelligent Shift Program (ISP)
offers more immediate and faster traction
­
induced upshifts and throttle ­blip down ­
shifts on overrun. In PDK SPORT mode,
downshifts under braking are more
aggressive while, under acceleration, the
shift points are raised even further. So
changing up a gear becomes a physical
experience – and an emotive one.
Shift fast without a moment ’s hesitation.
Just like the professionals.

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.

Environment.
We’ve already spoken about our contribu­
tion to motorsport. To be more precise,
about our responsibility for the future of
motorsport. We meet this responsibility
with intelligent technology, unconven ­
tional ideas and optimum performance.
Our approach to environmental protec ­
tion is no different. In an era of intensify ­
ing debate about global climate change
and CO
2 emissions, every automotive
manufacturer is asking what it has to
offer right now. Our answer has long
been the same: high power output
combined with high efficiency.
Porsche has managed to reduce fuel
consumption significantly across all
model ranges compared with the respec ­
tive previous model even though perfor ­
mance has been increased. This is made
possible by an efficient drive concept,
lightweight construction, optimised
aerodynamics and low rolling resistance.
The environmental management team
at the Porsche Development Centre in
Weissach aims to demonstrate a high
level of environmental responsibility. Here, technological developments are
carried out with environmental protection
in mind. The goal is to enhance perfor
­
mance – but preferably not at the expense
of the environment.
Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction has
been part of Porsche DNA since 1948 –
for both technological and ecological
reasons. And, of course, with competitive
advantages in mind. In motorsport, weight
is increasingly the number one factor
of success. Lightweight construction is
therefore the basis for low consumption
The true challenge:
not merely getting faster, but better.
values combined with outstanding
performance.
On the technical side, various compo ­
nents are made with a high proportion
of aluminium, magnesium, plastics and
super ­high ­strength sheet steel. The
materials used have been selected for
their abilit y to withstand load, yet they
are considerably lighter overall than
conventional steel.
Pit stop I 71

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.

2) Mobile phone preparation or telephone module in HFP mode: The use of a mobile
phone inside a car may cause an increase in the interior electromagnetic field
strength and, accordingly, in the electromagnetic radiation to which passengers
are exposed. If a cradle is used to mount the mobile phone, the field strength in
the passenger compartment can be reduced because the phone can be connected
up to the external aerial (feature depends on how specific mobile phones connect
to the cradle). For information about the availabilit y of a cradle for your mobile
phone, please contact your Porsche Centre. The use of the telephone module for
PCM via Bluetooth
®, SAP connection or with inserted SIM card prevents exposure
to electromagnetic radiation as only the car’s external aerial is ever used.
