2013 PORSCHE 911 GT3 wheelbase

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.

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.
