The
2012-spec Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is based on the lightweight 911 GT3 RS (997) street sports car. The power unit is largely identical to the production engine of the
911 GT3 RS with the same output of 450 bhp and the same maximum engine speed of 8,500 rpm. A race exhaust system with a controlled catalytic converter keeps emissions to a minimum.
The light alloy rims at the rear measure 12Jx18 with 30/68-18 tyres. The flared wheel arches at the front axle accommodate light alloy rims measuring 9.5Jx18 with 25/64-18
Michelin race tyres. Depending on the type of racing, the new
911 GT3 Cup features different rim specifications. The blade-type anti-roll bars at the front and rear are adjustable in seven positions allowing an extremely precise set-up for each race track. Exclusive to the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup which runs as support to
Formula 1 is the PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake. This is also available for Porsche’s road models. Compared to the composite cast brakes in the
Carrera Cups and the GT3 Cup Challenges, PCCB reduces the weight of the car by around 20 kilograms.
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup will be mailed to teams around the world from September and will run in this specification for 2012 and 2013 racing seasons in selecting one-make cup series. Price 161 750 Euro plus VAT each country.
