Porsche 911 GT3: Sensational poise and precision

Porsche 911 GT3
Very nice review here of the Porsche 911 GT3.
t's the GT3's feel and feedback that really stand out. A standard 911's steering is beautifully weighted and full of information, but the clarity of the content, the consistency of weighting, speed, accuracy and the confidence of the GT3's Alcantara rimmed wheel brings is just sensational. Suspension and aerodynamic revisions make the GT3's nose feel more planted too, allowing you to turn it into corners ever faster with the knowledge that it'll go exactly where you want it to go.

The stability and traction systems, as well as the sticky Michelin tyres, help in the corners but the GT3's limits are very high and clearly signposted.

The 3.8-litre engine is a high-revving masterpiece. It reaches its 8,500rpm limit with impunity, while making noise enough to wake the souls of racing drivers long lost to this world. Press the Sport button and the response and sound is even greater.
