For the German carmaker was another day at the office, but for the enthusiasts, it was another masterpiece for the roads.

Porsche didn't want to waste time and, at the beginning of 2021, introduced a new generation for its ferocious GT3 road-legal race-car.

The 2017 Porsche GT3 was made for the customers who are racing their 911's but who want to enjoy the road to the race-track as well.

In 2013 Porsche revealed the 991 GT3 at the Geneva Motor Show and it was an absolute blast for the Porsche fans. It was available only with a PDK (dual-clutch) automatic transmission that could change gears in 100 milliseconds and the car could lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife race-track in 7m22s on street-approved tires.

In all of its history, Porsche built race-oriented vehicles to get an FIA approval for racing at various categories. The GT3 was just one of them, and it was the base version.

The GT3 was proof that an owner didn't have to forget about comfort when driving a race-oriented Porsche, but it was still able to get very good lap-times.

Two seats, no turbo, and, due to its lightweight, it was the quickest and the fastest naturally aspirated Porsche from its generation. And it was available with automatic transmission as well.

To comply with the FIA regulations regarding the homologation of an FIA GT3 car, Porsche had to build a street version. And that is how the Porsche 996 GT3 appeared in the late '90s.
