The Porsche 911 GT3 is the version of the 911 that, above all others, embodies the traditional essence of the iconic model – lightweight technology and ultimate driving pleasure – that engenders fascination like almost nothing else, writes Josh Jacquot for Car and Driver.

“No matter how hard it’s pushed, there’s still magic to be discovered in its responses, beauty in its feedback, joy in its abilities,” writes Jacquot.

“This is a machine whetted on the mill of necessity and unencumbered by frippery. It is noise and feel and heat and speed wrapped into a physically absurd package then distilled beyond what its design merits.”

Some notable features of the Porsche 911 GT3 include:

• 0-liter six-cylinder horizontally opposed and naturally aspirated engine
• high-performance brake system with six-piston aluminum brake calipers at the front and four-piston equivalents at the rear axle
• racing chassis with dynamic engine mounts and rear axle steering with GT tuning
• 20-inch 911 GT3 wheels

“The most stunning properties of the GT3 are its refusal to fade, its connection to the driver, and its understated purposefulness,” writes Jacquot. “Sure, it has a big wing, but its aesthetics largely lean on a relatively ubiquitous shape.

“That this particular flavor of 911 requires great care to get right is central to its allure. That trait makes it desirable because it demands that its driver be fully involved rather than merely entertained. And that, in any car, is genius.”
