911 GT3

2013–2019Coupé

The fifth-generation GT3 arrived at Geneva in 2013 as the first production 911 with active rear-axle steering and, controversially, PDK only: a 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six with 475 PS (349 kW; 469 hp), a 9,000 rpm redline, 0–100 km/h in 3.5 s, 315 km/h (196 mph) and a 7:25 Nordschleife lap. After a hiatus it returned for 2017 with a motorsport-derived 4.0-litre of 500 PS (368 kW; 493 hp) and 460 Nm (339 lb-ft), now also offered with a six-speed manual. The 991.2 PDK car does 3.4 s and 318 km/h (198 mph); the manual does 320 km/h (199 mph) at 1,413 kg (3,115 lb).
