The Car
The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is a pure racing car, based on the road car version of the Porsche 911 GT3. The power difference between the two is insignificant, but other than that the differences are big.
Engine
3,6 liter 6 cylinder naturally aspirated engine, delivering 420 bhp at 7,300 rpm. The maximum amount of torque of 420 Nm is reached at 6,500 rpm. The engine is weight reduced and specially manufactured. Max revs is at 8,200 rpm.
Transmission
The power transition from engine to the wheels is done via a newly developed six speed sequential gearbox. Except reduction in time for gear changes, it prevents the driver from selecting the wrong gear by mistake.
Chassis
The chassis is based on the same technology used in the road cars of Porsche. But for the GT3 Cup model all parts have been optimized for racing. The dampers mounting in the front and rear suspension is taken from the GT3 RSR model. The anti roll bar is of blade type with adjustable height, angles and dampers, the chassis can be adjusted for all types of tracks.
Brakes
The brakes are in classic red color, with six caliper brakes in the front and four caliper brakes in the rear. The brake balance is controllable via controls inside the car.
Exterior
Compared to its predecessor the new GT3 Cup has got 40 percent more downforce. The adjustable rear win is 60 mm wider and 35 mm taller. The body of the car is adjusted for racing in the areas of material and weight.
Interior
A racing seat, a fire extinguisher and a strong roll cage is, briefly summarized, what you will find inside a GT3 Cup car. All important information, like RPM, brake distribution, temperature and more, is gathered in the display ahead of the driver. The start button of the car is, as should in a Porsche, on the left side of the driver.
