High-revving naturally aspirated engine Porsche 911 GT3 S/C

14 Apr High-revving naturally aspirated engine Porsche 911 GT3 S/C

The Porsche GT family welcomes a particularly exciting new member. The 911 GT3 S/C allows fans of the high-revving boxer engine to enjoy its unique naturally aspirated sound even without a fixed roof. It combines a range of ‘driver’s car’ qualities that have already delighted customers of the limited-edition 911 Speedster and 911 S/T models.

Porsche is introducing a 911 GT3 with a fully automatic convertible roof. The 911 GT3 S/C, designed especially with driving pleasure in mind, combines the lightweight design of the 911 S/T with the naturally aspirated 4.0-litre boxer engine of the 911 GT3, producing 375 kW (510 PS) and 450 Nm of torque. The distinctive wings and doors of the 911 S/T in combination with the black windscreen surround give the new 911 GT3 S/C an unmistakable look.

In line with its positioning as a driver’s car, this special model is available exclusively with a lightweight short-ratio six-speed manual sports transmission. The 911 GT3 S/C is the only open-top variant in the current 911 range that is designed as a pure two-seater – reminiscent of the 911 Speedster from 2019. Unlike the Speedster, however, the 911 GT3 S/C is not a limited-edition model. The new Street Style Package is also available for the 911 GT3 S/C, which allows the vehicle to be tailored even more precisely to individual tastes.

The naturally aspirated 4.0-litre engine of the new 911 GT3 S/C is designed to comply with the latest emissions standards and is equipped with two particulate filters and four catalytic converters. Even with this extremely efficient exhaust gas purification system, Porsche delivers an emotionally engaging soundscape that is significantly intensified when the roof is down. The cylinder heads have been revised compared to the previous-generation 911 GT3, and the more aggressive camshafts carried over from the 911 GT3 RS ensure even more responsive power delivery in the upper rev range. The powertrain also features flow-optimised individual throttle bodies and further optimised oil coolers. The flat-six engine produces 375 kW (510 PS). The six-speed GT manual transmission features a sporty short final-drive ratio that matches that of the 911 S/T and the 911 GT3. The new 911 GT3 S/C accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 313 km/h. Related News
