2004 Porsche 911 GT3 Photo Gallery

The GT3 is not the 911 on steroids. It's the 911 that already runs triathalons, but still goes to the gym to lose some fat and gain muscle. More power and toque with no loss in fuel economy comes from decreased internal engine mass and improved engine management.

The suspension and exterior styling have been revised to complement the new engine. Notice the small lip jutting out on the chin spoiler which helps reduce airflow under the car. The front side openings route air towards the brake system.

The numbers: 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, 0-100 mph in 9.4 seconds, 375 horsepower, 284 pound-feet, and $100,667. The GT3 is both slower and less expesive than the Turbo and GT2, but remember that the GT3's power comes without a turbocharger.

If the doorsill looks this blurry through your eyes, you can quickly make new friends by offering someone the keys to drive you home. Track driving in the GT3 is a similarly intoxicating experience.
