The 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is based on the seventh generation of the sports car from Zuffenhausen - has officially unveiled at the company's "Night of Champions” celebration.
According to Porsche works driver Timo Bernhard, “The new 911 GT3 Cup is much easier to drive at the limit. The car is excellently balanced. The new axle geometry is enormously positive for the handling. Apart from that, the new Cup 911 is great fun to drive.”
The width of the Michelin race slicks was increased by two centimeters to 27 centimeters at the front and 10 cm in the rear to a total of 31 cm.
The new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is powered by a 3.8-litre six-cylinder flat engine that develops 460hp at 7,500rpm, surpassing the predecessor by 10hp. The car is connected to a six-speed dog-type gearbox developed by Porsche Motorsport that is operated via steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.
A newly designed safety cage protects the pilot in case of a roll or a collision, a digital instrument cluster, an angled center stack and the driver-focused cockpit has a flat-bottomed steering wheel.
The 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup will be priced from €181,200 plus the country-specific value added tax.
