The GT3 Cup car features the same wide body in the back, the same sheet metal up front and the same 3.8 Liter flat six as the beefed up GT3 for the street, however in order to create a competitive machine the Porsche fabricators apply the same lightweight thinking that is in the RS but this time with a racing car. So the Cup car receives a few race specific items like a rear wing carried over from last year’s International FIA GT3 car, an all new exhaust that accentuates the burble of the boxer engine while responsibly controlling emissions at the same time. The Cup car comes standard with the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes that drop over 40 pounds from the weight of the car, and because it is a race car there is even more adjustability built into the suspension.
Like all of the 911s built for racing use, the new GT3 Cup car is available exclusively in Carrera White and will be delivered to customers by the end of October, giving them plenty of time to prepare for all the Porsche Mobil1 Super cup and international Porsche Carrera Cups that will be taking place in Germany, Italy, Asia, Japan the Middle East and even here in the U.S.A
Just last week Top Speed brought you details about the 450 HP naturally aspirated Porsche 911 GT3 RS that serves as a homologation special for the privateer Porsche racing cars that compete around the world all year long. Today the German automaker has announced that the car the newest version of the car that those individuals will be driving, the GT3 Cup car, will makes its international debut at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.
