Six-Speed Manual
The Porsche 911 GT3 comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox. All six transmission ratios are carefully matched to the engine speed and performance of the GT3 power unit.
Sport Suspension
Carried over from the 911 Carrera, the suspension concept has been modified to match the car’s even higher level of performance, with handling suitable for motor racing.

Compared with the 911 Carrera, both the front and rear wheels come with larger, reinforced four-piston aluminium fixed callipers in monobloc construction. Brake disc diameter on the front and rear axle is 330 mm (13.0″). As a result, the GT3 offers excellent stopping power.
