The updated Porsche 911 GT3 was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, and became available in Europe starting in May, and in the US starting in October.
The car now featured vents between the tail lights, a larger rear wing with "3.8" lettering on either side of the wing to denote the increase in engine displacement, forged pistons, lightweight valves and hollow camshafts in order to make the engine light weight, a special 6-speed manual transmission was the only transmission option with shorter gear ratios in order to feed optimum power to the rear wheels.
Total downforce was doubled, and for the first time stability control was offered to help less experienced drivers.
The new 3.8-litre flat-6 engine was now rated at 435 PS (320 kW; 429 bhp) at 7,600 rpm and 430 N⋅m (317 lb⋅ft) at 6,250 rpm with a maximum engine speed of 8,500 rpm.
The sport mode when activated, delivers an additional 19.9 N⋅m (14.7 lb⋅ft) of torque to the rear wheels.
