Stuttgart. It is
the most successful race car on earth: The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. With
over 2,200 units sold, it is the undisputed number one amongst customer
racing teams all over the world. Now, the new 911 GT3 Cup features a
100-litre FT3 safety fuel tank, which is filled via an opening in the
front bonnet. Compared to its predecessor, the vehicle is now suitable
for an even wider range of endurance racing. Moreover, the new fuel tank
contributes to a further improvement of the high safety standards.
The 2012-spec Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is based on the lightweight 911 GT3 RS (997) street sports car. The power unit is largely identical to the production engine of the 911 GT3 RS with the same output of 450 bhp and the same maximum engine speed of 8,500 rpm. A race exhaust system with a controlled catalytic converter keeps emissions to a minimum.
The flared wheel arches at the front axle accommodate light alloy
rims measuring 9.5Jx18 with 25/64-18 Michelin race tires. The light
alloy rims at the rear measure 12Jx18 with 30/68-18 tires. Depending on
the type of racing, the new 911 GT3 Cup features different rim
specifications. The blade-type anti-roll bars at the front and rear are
adjustable in seven positions allowing an extremely precise set-up for
each race track. Exclusive to the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup which runs as
support to Formula 1 is the PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake. This
is also available for Porsche's road models. Compared to the composite
cast brakes in the Carrera Cups and the GT3 Cup Challenges, PCCB reduces
the weight of the car by around 20 kilograms.
The new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup will be delivered to teams around the
world from September and will be run in this specification for the 2012
and 2013 race seasons in selected one-make cup series. The price is
161,750 Euro plus value-added tax of the respective countries.
Currently, the 911 GT3 Cup competes in 19 Porsche brand trophy series worldwide. Moreover, it is run in various GT race series and at long distance events. The 911 GT3 Cup is the basis model of Porsche's racing vehicle range. Additionally, Porsche Motorsport offers the 911 GT3 R for championships complying with GT3 regulations and the 911 GT3 RSR built according to GT2 rules.
