2000 Porsche 911 GT3 – 10 Fast Facts
3.6-Litre Engine
The heart of the GT3 is a 3.6-litre, water-cooled, six-cylinder boxer engine. It is based on the aluminium boxer unit first featured in the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1.
360 Horsepower
The 3.6-litre boxer engine develops maximum output of 265 kW (360 bhp) at 7,200 rpm and provides maximum torque of 370 Newton metres (273 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm. Maximum engine speed of the high-reving engine is 7,800 rpm.
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.
Stopping Power
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.
18-Inch Wheels

Optional Clubsport Package
The 911 GT3 was also available as a Clubsport version. It was specially developed for track driving and motorsport events. The most significant feature of the Clubsport version is the roll cage bolted on to the body. It also included the rear axle spring strut supports which provide extra stability.
