2013 Porsche 911 gt3
2013 Porsche 911 gt3 - Development of the ‘991’ generation Porsche 911 GT3 is well underway, with prototypes of the car spotted on numerous occasions near Porsche’s headquarters in Stuttgart and at the Nürburgring and on some of the race track’s surrounding roads.Porsche's latest generation of the 911, the 991, has just recently made its way onto the scene, and, as our 2012 Best Car To Buy winner, it's excellent. But that's "just" the base Carrera and Carrera S so far--the really hot versions, including the Turbo and GT3, are yet to come.
Performance should also be pushed higher thanks to improved efficiencies inside the 3.8-liter flat six that's likely to power it. The current GT3 RS turns out 450 horsepower and weighs in right around 3,000 pounds; we expect the next GT3 to come close to those same marks, with the 2013 GT3 RS moving even farther up the supercar ladder. The car will miss out on the 4.0-liter straight-six engine found in the 997-based GT3 RS 4.0 and instead rely on the 3.8-liter six found in the regular 911 Carrera S though with output raised to around 450 horsepower.
