Gone are the times when you could easily make a car faster around the track by just applying an extra dose of boost. Modern racecars offer ample amounts of power and torque, bringing other performance factors to the foreground. These are the factors GMG Racing did its best to consider when tuning the newest Porsche 911 (992) GT3.
Starting with the suspension, the team swapped the wishbones out for an aftermarket set made from 6061-grade aluminum widely used in aviation and space industries. Bilstein shocks and springs replaced the stock ones, and a purpose-built stainless-steel exhaust system reduced the weight by 7.3 kilos (16 pounds) compared to the original. Later on, the company also designed a custom manifold that raised the weight savings to 11 kilos (24.25 pounds) while improving the engine output slightly at the same time.
The engine was left unmodded, which is not necessarily a bad thing because it still revs up to 8,400 RPM and hits the wheels with 510 PS (503 hp / 375 kW) and 470 Nm (347 lb-ft) of torque. The momentum goes to 19-inch Forgeline GE1 wheels shod in Pirelli slicks. Per the tuner, the stock wheels were too small to install AP Racing brakes behind.
