If you think the Porsche 911 is a common sight at country clubs and law firm parking lots, that’s nothing compared to the ubiquity of Neunelferen that dominate the race track. And this is the latest.
Replacing last year’s GT3 Cup S, the new GT3 R was initially released back in November, but is now set to make its public debut at the Autosport International racing car show in Birmingham, England. Stripped down and track-tuned, the GT3 R is a pure racing machine, with a 4.0-liter flat-six driving 480 horsepower through a six-speed sequential transmission to the rear wheels.
It’s been homologated to FIA GT3 regulations, so expect to see it dicing with the GT3-spec likes of the Alpina B6, Reiter Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 430 Scuderia, Audi R8 LM and upcoming BMW Z4 – to name just a few – on race tracks around the world once the racing season gets off to a start.
