Stripped of the GT3 badge, this 991 sneaks just a bit under the radar... until the gas hits the floor.
Still the most iconic of the entire and newly varied Porsche lineup, the 911 stands alone. Over the years it has come to effectively represent the entire brand, even when the company has branched out beyond the humble sports car like the much-touted Porsche SUV range. This 991.1GT3 comes in pure white paint and is powered by a 3.8L Porsche MA1 Flat-6 engine generating 475hp taking you from 0 to 60 in just 3 and a half seconds.
As you cast your eye over it, the first thing that catches your attention is the irresistible curves that frame the body. It adds an elegance to the raw power of the car’s engineering. The Ferrada wheels with a copper-like finish further accent the beauty and stunning detailing of the car. At the rear end, you also get that unforgettable rear spoiler, not just providing vital downforce but completing the overall look. The yellow brake calipers and aerodynamic shape give the impression that this is a car that is beautiful, yes, but also built for the track.
For me, the real charm of this car lies in its subtlety. Unlike other GT3 models with its badges glaring at you, this one doesn’t include the GT3 badge, allowing it cruise more casually under the radar, if you like. The white color, too, while elegant and successful in accentuating the car’s better features, isn’t so “in your face” as some of the racier colors that you see in sports cars. In short, this 911 is for the true sports car enthusiast; the driver who is in it for the car, the engineering and the drive, not just the way it looks.
The 911 interior isn’t as grand as some others, but it’s comfortable with supportive seats, especially when taking tight corners. The wheel and dash have a pleasing sense of comfort in the hand, and everything on the central control stack is within easy reach. As a 2-door coupe, everything on the inside is built with the driver in mind. You’ll love the sumptuous leather upholstery, and will, sooner or later, find that the cockpit of this Porsche is the most fun place to be.
This isn’t just a good-looking machine, it’s a fantastic car to drive. Yes, the design turns heads wherever it goes, but it’s also a great on-road companion. Its fast speeds, pleasing acceleration and torque levels and high revving redline make for terrific performance. Beyond that, the car’s aerodynamics and finely tuned build, suspension and steering make it a great one to handle - setting itself apart from even the other 911 models.
If you’re a genuine fan of the Porsche brand or just the sports car genre in general, then this car should have great appeal. The subtle colors and lack of badging, the tasteful detailing, agile handling and, of course, the overall iconic form that the Porsche 911 has maintained for decades.
