The Porsche GT3: A Track Car Legend
When it comes to track cars, the Porsche GT3 is still considered a brilliant choice. The engine delivers impressive performance, with instant gearshifts and firm brake pedal feel. Even after a long break from driving the GT3, the experience behind the wheel remains exhilarating.
One noticeable change is the calmer steering feel of the GT3. Compared to previous models, the steering feels lighter and more stable, thanks in part to the rear-steer technology. While the steering may not match the precision of some newer models, it still offers exceptional agility on the track.
On the circuit, the GT3 exhibits a bit of understeer in steady-state driving. However, the car’s communicative nature allows drivers to easily approach and manage its limits. Whether braking into corners or balancing the rear tires through rev matching, the GT3 provides a confidence-inspiring driving experience.
Transitioning from the track to the road, the GT3 Touring with a manual gearbox offers a comfortable yet connected driving experience. The car’s compliance over rough surfaces ensures a smooth ride without compromising its performance capabilities. It’s a testament to Porsche’s engineering prowess that the GT3 excels both on the track and on real-world roads.
While the increased compliance may result in a slightly noisier cabin at higher speeds, the GT3’s performance remains unparalleled. With its relentless power delivery and exceptional handling, the GT3 continues to stand out as one of the best track cars in the world.
