What Porsche has to offer for 2010 is the 911 GT3. This car has been long awaited by Porsche fans and was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Only in October 2009 will this car be available for sale. For now Porsche's word is all that counts with the results and photos they have provided.

Plenty of Changes

The GT3 is not an entirely new model, rather it`s a revamped version of a previous Porsche 911. The original did enough to impress the folk at CAR magazine in 2007 to be named the best ever Porsche.

A number of things have been changed, including a 20 bhp increase over the previous model. The body has been adjusted for better aerodynamics, air outlets were added to the front end and the rear wing is more adjustable than before. Interior features lighter materials as well. Car insurance 

Other improvements include a lighter wire harness for easier maneuverability and a redesigned rear end. This luxury, though light weight model also comes with optional air conditioning, setting it apart from the standard race car. Definately the drive has been improved from the previous model as well.

Under the Hood

The Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by a 3.8 liter engine that produces a respectable 435 horses. The car goes from 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds and can hit 100 mph in double that time. The maximum speed reached by this model is 194 mph, thanks to the updated engine and a sleeker build. cars for sale.However records are just black and white figures as the GT3 can challenge competitors on other fronts i.e price.

Other Features

For street driving, the manufacturers added a few handy features to the latest version of the GT3. For example, it only takes the push of a button to activate a hydraulic lift that gives the vehicle an additional few inches of clearance. This prevents scraping the very low front splitter on steep inclines. An optional air conditioning system turns this Porsche into a luxury machine that is comfortable to drive off the track, as well as on. carfind.co.za 

The fully adjustable suspension system lets you change Porche`s Active Suspension Management system, which tends to be too soft for street driving. The feature is deactivated in two stages, first the stability is turned off, with traction still on, then you can also turn off the traction. This might make the GT3 go faster at the cost of drivability at high speed. No cause for concern as the brakes on this car are as large as 15.0-in. front and 13.8-in. rear.

Not strictly a new car but still anticipated. With so many improvements, it`s bound to be a popular model.
