GT3 Exterior Photos


The ride height is very low. Ready to race.

The rear is wide and round.

The front lights were a new look for the 911.

From the rear quarter, there is no mistaking the heritage.


GT3 Interior Photos



The interior is nearly the same as a stock 996

The racing seats are the big change from standard.


They were available in cloth or full leather.
