Rumors: Model News—Porsche 911 GT3 To Shed Weight, Gain Horsepower
Autocar is reporting that Porsche’s new 911 GT3 will debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show next March. Based on the current 991 911, it should drop 80 pounds and gain 15 horsepower over the current GT3. The extra horsepower—which should hover around 450—will come from Porsche’s 3.8-liter flat-six engine, rather than the 4.0-liter engine from the current GT3 RS 4.0. The 3.8 should motivate the 991 GT3 to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds. Top speed will also be increased to nearly 200 miles per hour.

First Look: 2012 TechArt Porsche 911 Carrera
With subtle styling that has evolved glacially over the its 50-plus-year history, the Porsche 911, even when it is a brand new model of Porsche 911, is really designed to be the kind of performance car that walks softly and carries a big stick. Unless the 911 in question happens to be given over to tuners TechArt, in which case it’s more likely to be running, screaming bloody murder, and thrashing its big stick wildly through the air.

Driven: 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0
We’ve just finished two thousand miles in the 2011 Porsche GT3 RS 4.0. They were two thousand mind-searingly memorable miles, in part because they were on some of our great western roads, including Rt. 4 in New Mexico, Rt. 145 in Colorado, and Rts. 95 and 24 in Utah, to name a few. And memorable, in no small part, because this is the last of the 997-generation Porsches, and when Porsche gives a going-away present to its owners, they do it in style.

Graphed: Top Speeds Of The Porsche 911
The Porsche 911 looks and handles great, but a big part of the car’s iconic appeal it in its outright speed. For most practical purposes, we measure speed in acceleration, usually some 0-60 figure. When we want to measure a car’s upper limits, though, we like to look at its top speed.
