The 997 is the most commercially successful 911 of all time, selling 100,000 units between its introduction in 2005 and July 2007. In 2009 Porsche updated the 997 line-up that included interior and exterior styling changes, a revised direct injected engine and the introduced their new "PDK" dual clutch transmission. As a result, the updated 997 models were lighter, faster, provided better handling characteristics and were more fuel efficient than the outgoing versions. The 997 Turbo featured a comprehensively re-tuned AWD system with an optional "torque vectoring" system.

The GT3 features the same engine and displacement as the Turbo, but is naturally aspirated and utilizes a new variable intake system. The engine is rated at 409 hp and 299 lb·ft. It has an 8400 rpm redline which is the same as the 612hp Carrera GT. The body upgrades include a redesigned front bumper the cooling efficiency of its front-mounted radiators and acts as a splitter to create downforce. The GT3 also includes a revised rear bumper and center tailpipes that help draw heat away from the engine. Packing more power into an engine always results in increased engine temperatures which causes a great struggle for engineers between making improvements to increase bhp while maintaining reliability through proper cooling design. @car.tales
