Porsche unveils 2012 MY 911 GT3 Cup Racer
The Frankfurt Motor Show, which is scheduled to take place next month, is hosting the debut of the all-new Porsche 911, also code-named 991.
It is based on the 991 (997) GT3 RS, with the 3.8-liter flat-six engine producing an identical 450HP at 8,500 rpm.
The new GT3 Cup has a larger 100-liter FT3 safety fuel tank, which is filled via an opening in the hood. According to Porsche, this change makes the car more suitable for a wider range of endurance racing.
The Porsche racer rides on 18-inch wheels shod in 25/64-18 front and 30/68-18 Michelin racing tires.
In addition, the Porsche Mobil1 Supercar racers, which support the F1 championship, get exclusive use of the PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes that, compared to the composite cast units used in other race versions of the 911, reduce overall weight by 20 kg.
The car will be available for the 2012 and 2013 seasons with a pricing that starts from EUR161,750, without the local taxes.
