2005 911 GT3 Cup Car - (Type 997)
Gentlemen...
I present you with the GT3 cup car (I'll post pics later):
The 2005 911 GT3 Cup (Type 997) is tailor-made for customer motorsport with near-standard vehicles. With its predecessor – the Cup Carrera based on the “996“ series – being a high performance and competitive sportscar which not only competes in the makes cups but has won various Gran Turismo championships, the new model marks a clear step towards a thoroughbred racing car.
After having gained comprehensive experience with sequential gearboxes in international GT championships Porsche now offers this technology to customers in the makes cups, beginning with the Porsche Michelin Supercup in 2005.
The 2005 911 GT3 Cup (Type 997) is the first works-prepared racing sportscar to feature the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB), a unique development by Porsche.
