The Porsche 997 GT3 3.8L is one of the most iconic versions of the 997 generation, which was produced between 2009 and 2011. The GT3 is a variant specially designed for the track, yet homologated for the road. Here’s an overview of its history and special features.
The 997 GT3 was introduced in 2006, initially with a 3.6-liter engine, before the introduction of a 3.8-liter version for Phase 2 of the 997 GT3 in 2009.
The key points of this version :

The 997 GT3 3.8L benefited from significant improvements over its predecessor. For example, it was equipped with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system, which allowed the suspension to be adjusted according to driving conditions. It also featured a mechanical limited-slip rear differential.
Phase 2 of the 997 GT3 also featured a front lift system, an appreciated feature on a car with low ground clearance.
The 997 GT3 3.8L has left a lasting imprint on the world of sports cars as one of the last Porsche 911s to offer a truly pure driving experience, without excessive electronic aids. It’s a car that demands skill and rewards passionate drivers.
