There are few better-known and -loved names in the sports car world than the Porsche 911. 1997 saw the announcement of the fifth generation 996 model, with a special GT3 spec car featuring a boomerang-esque rear wing and a host of aero parts, with the car lowered by 30mm. Its 3.6-liter flat-six engine was mounted in the rear and fitted with titanium conrods and a dry sump with separated oil reservoir, and the car was endowed with numerous racing examples of racing technology; this 360hp unit could provide an astonishing 302km/h via its six-speed transmission. Dampers, springs and stabilizers in the front strut and rear multi-link suspension were reinforced, while the cockpit was given a pair of bucket seats and the rear seat removed in the name of lightening. The GT3 was originally sold in limited numbers, but from 2003 appeared in the regular catalog, highlighting its immense popularity.
