A joint project between Caterham and Lola, the SP/300.R is a track day car designed for racers who’re ready to move beyond street cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 and into something that is truly built from the ground up to attack road courses at maximum velocity.
Curious about how the new 991 Porsche 911 GT3 drives? Now you can hear about one driver’s (Jethro Bovingdon’s) impressions—as well as see and hear the car in action in the Austrian Alps—in this video review from Evo.
The Model S is also one of those rare cases where the Winding Road model is remarkably simple to configure. Take a fully loaded Model S Performance, which retails for $111,670 after a $7500 Federal tax credit, and swap out the done-to-death Multi-Coat pearlescent paint (we prefer a simple black, which also saves $1500). Next, select one of the beautiful, no-cost wood trims and the no-cost tan leather. Total price for the Winding Road Model S would be $110,170 after the Federal tax credit.
Porsche is in the midst of searching for its next great factory driver, and it’s turned to a quartet of 20-somethings. The four young men, all under the age of 25, are some of the best in their current racing disciplines. They’ll spend two days, taking part in Porsche’s first annual Young Driver Academy.
The Porsche GT cars have been amazing race-worthy vehicles that go above and beyond the duties of the 911. The same goes for the 991 GT3. With this in mind, Autos by Sympatico published a really fun interview with Andreas Preuninger, head of Porsche’s GT series production and chief engineer of the new GT3.
We’re reviving the Base Versus Loaded series, and to start things off, we’ve got the all-new, auto-only Porsche 911 GT3.
What seemed to be overshadowed by the news of the GT3’s PDK transmission, was the fact that it’s not just a carryover from the Carrera S. It’s a new unit, and as Andreas Preuninger explains here, one that has more in common with the 911 GT3 Cup car than the current 997.
This is the Master Landing Page for the Porsche 911 GT3. From now on, as we further review this car, we will be updating this page with whatever fresh content we create. Future drive reviews, updated specifications, videos, and other relevant information will all be found right here, in one convenient spot.
This is the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, and like previous GT3s, it’s the stripped, lightweight, track-focused version of the 911 Carrera S. We don’t have actual specifications, but we can figure out a few things from the photos posted by VWVortex and Carsoops.
If you peruse the back issues of Winding Road as frequently as we do, then you’ll probably be familiar with our last supercar issue (hint, it’s Issue 63). During that exceptionally fun month of driving and writing, we tested the then-new Ferrari 458 Italia, the Ariel Atom V-8, the Aston Martin Rapide, and a pair of very cool Porsche 911s.
The Porsche 911 GT3 makes a beautiful rally car. This video shows the GT3 jumping, sliding, carving, climbing, squealing, spinning, and flying in various races in Germany, Spain, and Belgium.
Enjoy, and don’t forget to breathe.
