Porsche's New GT3: The Jewel in the 911 Crown

On February 13th, 2006, Porsche announced one of the most-awaited models, the sixth generation 911 Turbo. Indeed, this is an important car for Porsche, as it's the model that has to live up to the legend of the world's first turbocharged car, and one of the best all-rounded sports cars made to date, the previous-generation 911 Turbo. The new (997) Turbo builds on previous models by advancing the all wheel drive system and tipping the world of turbocharging on its side once again by implementing the world's first variable geometry turbo on a gasoline-powered car. To Porsche, the 911 Turbo is so important and so vital to the brand, that it's been titled the 'masterwerk'. But let's not forget that there's still another vehicle that stand above it in the 911 range, the 911 GT3.
