Porsche fans have a new reason to dream. It is called 911 GT3 S/C and concentrates the sporty style we know from the versions GT3though my clouds (when the day is cloudy) are like a roof. In a way, this can be said about past versions Speedsteronly this time it’s not a limited edition model.
With the top on, its line is very similar to that of the 911 Coupé.
The great technical novelty of this model (and we do not intend to dissuade propeller “lovers” from this) is its ceiling. All because Porsche for the first time equips a 911 with technology GT3 one fully automatic soft top. The system uses a lightweight magnesium frame which allows the silhouette to be almost identical to that of the coupe variants when it remains closed, which is not the case with the Speedsterwith a much smaller windshield.
Opens or closes after 12 seconds
Thanks to lightweight hydraulic drives, the roof can open or close in just 12 secondsan operation that can be performed even while driving while the speedometer is down 50 km/h. And for storage, the rear hatch does not have a fixed spoiler.
The interior is always upholstered in leather.
Under the hood of this one GT3 S/C “heart” beats. six cylinders and 4.0 liter naturally aspirated able to reach dizzying speeds of rotation 9000 rpm. Provides strength 510 CValong with the torque 450 Nmnumbers that translate into a response that promises to be immediate for the accelerator. Despite this, the engine has been revised to comply with current emissions regulations using particulate filters and catalytic converters, although Porsche assures that maintains an intoxicating sound which is even better perceived when driving under the open sky.
Individual manual
Along with this engine, the only transmission option that can be selected is a six-speed manual gearbox with short ratios, as befits a car with a purist approach.
The transmission can only be a six-speed manual.
To ensure exceptional maneuverability, GT3 S/C resorted to a very light construction. To do this, it inherits carbon fiber components from the 911 S/T, including hood, front fenders and doors. Even structural elements such as stabilizer bar and reinforcement plate chassis use this composite material. The total weight of the set remains the same 1.497 kga great figure considering it’s a convertible with an electric roof.
Less weight of brakes and wheels
Moose PCCB carbon ceramic brakes They are standard and allow you to save more 20 kilograms compared to conventional alloy wheels. And magnesium wheels with central nut20 inches in the front and 21 in the rear, minimizes rotating masses to offer even greater maneuverability and also contribute to weight reduction.
At the back, it offers a storage compartment as it’s only a two-seater.
In the performance department, the 911 GT3 S/C stops the 0 to 100 v stopwatch 3.9 secondsat maximum speed 313 km/h. To better adapt to these numbers, the chassis has a double wishbone suspension on the front axlean architecture that debuts in the 911 Cabriolet to improve behavior on winding roads and resemble the behavior of track cars.
Only for two
As for the interior, the most relevant is a clean doubleno rear seats for children. Comes standard with Sports Plus seats regulated, which may give way instead lightweight drums with a carbon fiber shell. The upholstery is black leather and even extends to the sunglasses. The digital dashboard offers modo Track Screenwhich reduces the information to the vital engine and tire data that allows location rev limit at the top of the dial. In addition, instead of a button, the start is carried out using a rotary control located to the left of the steering wheel, which embeds this sports car in the tradition of the brand.
Single nut wheels.
Those owners who want more differentiation can choose Street Style Packagewhich adds decorative graphics in Pyro red and wheels painted in Slate Neo gray. Inside, this package introduces woven leather in four shades for the center sections of the seats and a blacked-out gearshift lever with laminated wood handle. There is even a 80 liter lightweight storage box for the rear, made of leather and designed for quick attachment to the vehicle structure.
A matching watch
As an addition to the car and optionally, the German brand offers a Porsche Design watch Made of ultra-lightweight titanium to match the individual configuration of the vehicle. The watch features a dial that mimics a car dashboard and an oscillating rotor that is visible through the glass back and inspired by magnesium wheels.
Despite the high price, this is not a limited edition.
The price of this watch is not disclosed (usually it exceeds 10,000 euros, but the price of the car, which is already available on our market for 312,556 euros.
