"What's the stuff of dreams for twelve-twelve year old boys? It's always
going to be sports cars. One night with your best friend and totally
alone in the Porsche Museum? Brilliant! Tim and Denis, our two high-tech
kids, sneak in with some drones and a laptop. Somehow. In dreams
anything's possible. In movies, it's the same. Michael Köckritz,
creative director and editor in chief of RAMP tells this story in this
shortcut. Simple and direct, ultra short and relaxed."

The new Porsche 911 GT3 premieres this week at the Geneva
International Motor Show. The completely-redeveloped fifth generation
of the 911 GT3 occupies the top position among Porsche sports cars with
naturally-aspirated engines. With an impressive lap time on the
Nürburgring Nordschleife of under 7:30 minutes, the 2014 911 GT3
benefits from a new engine, transmission, body and chassis. The car now
sprints from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds on its way to a top track
speed of 195 mph. The 2014 911 GT3 will go on sale at Beverly Hills Porsche
late in 2013 and will be priced from $130,400, not including a $950
destination charge.
As a technical highlight, the 911 GT3 features the first active
rear-wheel steering in a production Porsche, as well as optional full
LED headlights. The new GT3 brings to everyday driving many of the
properties of a sports car developed on the track, and preserves the
highly emotional fun factor.
The powertrain of the new 911 GT3 is composed of a 3.8-liter boxer
engine yielding 475 hp (125 hp/liter) featuring a 9,000 rpm redline and a
specially developed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK) which drives
the rear wheels. The six-cylinder engine is based on the same engine as
the 911 Carrera S, although they share only a few common parts. All
other components, particularly the crankshaft and valve gear, were
specially adapted or designed for the GT3. For instance, Porsche
designed titanium connecting rods and forged pistons for this engine.
The Porsche dual-clutch transmission in this application has been
specially developed for the 911 GT3: the characteristics are based
directly on a sequential gearbox from racing, thereby providing further
performance and dynamic advantages to the driver. Highlights include
shorter gear ratios with closer spacing, even faster shifting, and shift
paddles with shorter travel and increased tactile feedback, which now
allow the driver to place the PDK in neutral simply by pulling on both
paddles at the same time.
For the first time, Porsche is employing active rear wheel steering
to achieve even higher steering precision and improved lateral dynamics.
Depending on the speed, the rear wheels steer in the same or opposite
direction of the front wheels, improving stability and agility. Other
new features that improve driving dynamics are an electronically
controlled, fully variable rear differential lock and dynamic engine
mounts. Contact with the road is made by new 20-inch, forged alloy
wheels with center-locking hubs in place of conventional wheel bolts.
The 2014 911 GT3 is based on the light yet stiff body of the current
generation 911 Carrera, which employs a hybrid steel and aluminum
construction; however, it comes with unique front and rear parts
specific to the GT3. In addition, the 911 GT3 is 1.7 inches wider than a
911 Carrera S in the rear. Another distinctive feature is the large,
fixed rear wing, which contributes to the exemplary aerodynamics.
By combining low air resistance with even more power, the 2014 911
GT3 sets new performance standards. At full acceleration from
standstill, the 60 mph mark is reached after just 3.3 seconds, and on
the track 124 mph is reached in less than twelve seconds.
