“The 911 made history as the baseline model for the Carrera Cups and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup—no other racing car has found as many satisfied customers since 1990 as the 911. The new 911 GT3 Cup now starts a new chapter. Our goal is to pass the 5,000 mark in production over the coming years. Like its ancestral lineage, this model will also assist a whole new generation of talented racing drivers on their path to professional motorsport and shape the face of our customer sport commitment around the world,” says Michael Dreiser, Director of Sales for Porsche Motorsport.

In order to shape the future of sport, the new Cup needs to have something pretty special about it—and it does. This new car marks the first time that the sports car manufacturer will be using a wide turbo-spec body. Those specs include 510 horsepower, an increase of 25 horsepower of the previous model. According to Porsche, that increase in power should translate into a 1 percent reduction in lap times for the new car. The GT3 will also be able to run on synthetic fuels, helping to lower CO2 emissions.
