Porsche 911 GT3 – Used Sports Cars – Sports Cars
If you ask anyone who has tried what is this Porsche 911 GT3 such a special, probably, the answer will be: "There is no exact reason, but after you try, you do not want to drive anything else." I've heard this many times and I must admit that GT3 is hard to explain... There is not a single element that predominates over others, its magic stems from the ideal interaction of all its organs: engine, chassis, suspension, steering. Everything interacts perfectly, and everything penetrates into your bones, into your intestines. This is an optimistic car. But let's leave romance and get into practice: what kind of 911 GT3 are we talking about? While looking through used car ads, I found several 911 997s that many Porsche drivers consider to be the best GT3 of all time (especially in version 4.0).
Samples 911 GT3 mk1 (manufactured from 2006 to 2009) mount a magnificent 3.6-liter flat-six with 415 hpThis is enough to accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km / h in 4,1 seconds to a top speed of 311 km / h. On the other hand, models from 2009 onwards. 3.8 boxer 435 BV, and they also boast some aerodynamic parts and a system that allows the front of the car to be raised (useful when bumps need to be overcome). The good news is the GT3 997 only exists with one excellent 6-speed manual transmission, one of the driest and most accurate ever built.
Prices range from From 80.000 90.000 to XNUMX XNUMX euros, but they get up, so if you're lucky to have it in the garage, it's time to do it.
911 service at its best
La The 911 GT3 997 looks like a Carrera that spent the last six years of its life in the CrossFit gym. Behind the wheel, it immediately feels tighter, lighter and more solid. There is a rear-nose feel from the corners, but the mechanical clutch is much larger and less understeer than the standard 911. And then there's the engine: 3,6 liters 415 liters. a little empty at low revs but in such a hurry to get to 8.500 circles that the absence of a couple is forgiven. This is a racing engine both mechanically and soundly. Il Manual Transmission it's not a hindrance, on the contrary, it makes you even more attached to the car, and maneuvering is so pleasant that you want to change gears even when stationary, just for the pleasure of it. On the road, it goes very fast: this car is not easy to push to the limit - when you push hard, the GT3 needs to be corrected quickly and decisively, but the reward it will bring you is unparalleled. The brakes are so powerful and tireless that they always give the driver more safety.... It must be said that few manufacturers know how to use the “center pedal” like Porsche does.
Version 3.8 has been significantly improved in terms of manageabilityespecially in fast corners where downforce is significantly improved. He gets stronger and a little more balanced, but in the end the experience doesn't change. The beauty is that even though this is the most extreme version of the 911 (excluding the GT3 RS), it is a car that can be used every day. Visibility is good, the seat is comfortable enough, and its "human" size makes it easy to park.
PRICES
In short, at the cost of one Porsche Cayman S 718 Well equipped (but not overly equipped), you can take home one of the best sports cars ever built. Of course, 80.000 euros is not for everyone, but if you have the opportunity, know that this is not only a great car, but also a great investment.
