Stuttgart-based sports car maker Porsche has revealed the new 911 GT3 at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. Given an updated look by improving, among others, the front end and rear design, the rear wing and adding the distinctive LED tail lights, the 911 GT3 is now more powerful with its 3.8 litre naturally-aspirated flat-six engine which is good for 435HP and 429Nm of torque.

The improvement accounts for a 20HP bump in performance which enables the car to do 312 km/h. Other features of the GT3 include Porsche’s Active Stability Management (PASM) system as well as Porsche’s Stability Management (PSM) system and ceramic composite brakes, just to name a few.

The Porsche 911 GT3 goes on sale later this year with a prices starting from 98,100 Euros. Depending on what you opt for, it can go as high as 116,947 Euros. Click here to learn more about the 911 GT3 as well as to view an image gallery.

    HP wise, i'm sure Nissan can counter with the GTR, but why the GT3 is such a respected supercar is because of its balance, power and drivability. Aside from the Carrera GT, this is my favourite Porsche.
