Porsche has added the new 911 GT3 to its India portfolio with prices starting at Rs 3.32 crore (ex-showroom). Known for its motorsport roots and naturally aspirated engine, the latest GT3 is now available for booking across Porsche dealerships in the country.
The new model sits in the middle of the 911 range, offering a balance between road-going comfort and track-ready capability. Buyers can also configure their cars through Porsche’s official configurator, with several customization options available.
Porsche 911 GT3: Engine And Performance
Powering the latest 911 GT3 is a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six petrol engine. At a time when most performance cars have shifted to turbocharged setups, Porsche has continued with a high-revving naturally aspirated unit.
Key performance figures:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six |
| Power | 503bhp |
| Torque | 470Nm |
| Transmission | 7-speed PDK automatic |
| Drivetrain | Rear-wheel drive |
| 0-100kmph | 3.4 seconds |
| Top Speed | 312kmph |
The engine sends power to the rear wheels through Porsche’s seven-speed PDK gearbox. While a manual gearbox is offered in some international markets, India receives the automatic transmission as standard.
The GT3 is also one of the quickest road-legal Porsche models around a racetrack. The latest generation recorded a lap time of 6 minutes and 55.34 seconds at the famous Nürburgring circuit with racing driver Lars Kern behind the wheel.
