Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (2016)

The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is the racing version of the 911 GT3. In 2016, almost 320 of the near-standard racers, based on the seventh generation of the iconic 911 sports car, will be campaigned in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, the national Carrera Cups as well as major GT3 Cup Challenges.

Powering the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is a 3.8-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine developing 460hp (338KW) at 7500rpm. Power is delivered to the rear axle via a race clutch and a Porsche Motorsport designed six-speed dog-type gearbox with a mechanical limited slip differential. Gear shifting is performed with paddle shifts on the steering wheel.
