2007 Porsche 911 GT3 (997) test drive and walk around with Chris from Chicago Cars Direct. The GT3 is the road-going basis of the world’s most popular race car (more than 1000 have been built since 1998). That makes it the pinnacle of the Porsche production-car pyramid as well as the homologation special that justifies the existence of the GT3 racing car. The secret to its split personality is Porsche Active Suspension Management, or PASM, which allows drivers to alter the dynamic character of the car by pushing a button to modify the shock valving of the three-way adjustable Bilsteins. “You can never be happy with one setup for both the road and the racetrack,” Hartmut Kristen, Porsche’s director of motorsport, says from the pit wall while Walter R”hrl rockets past in a screaming yellow GT3. “With PASM, we don’t have to compromise.” It’s no coincidence that Porsche’s motorsports honcho and a two-time World Rally Champion helped develop the GT3. Unlike the Ferrari Enzo, the Bugatti Veyron, and the Porsche Carrera GT, the GT3 isn’t an exercise in corporate ego and wretched excess. Nor is it a car whose fundamentally uninspiring qualities have been overcome with heroic surgery, such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, and various AMG Mercedes-Benzes. The GT3 is the 911 pared down to its essence. As such, it embodies the very soul of Porsche, a company that considers motorsports not merely a marketing strategy but a corporate imperative.

Wolfgang Durheimer, Executive Vice-President Research and Development, Porsche AG talks about the new Porsche 911 Turbo
Test drive and walk around of a 2006 Porsche 911 (997) Carrera 4 Cabriolet with Chris from Chicago Cars Direct. Porsche’s 911 is constantly undergoing a bacterium-like evolution that yields many different variations and growth. Now, comparing a 911 to bacteria might seem a tad uncouth, but we have put them up against Corvettes, so it’s not entirely unprecedented. That’s a joke — lighten up. In any case, life would be pretty unbearable without friendly bacteria, Corvettes, and 911s. For 2005, rear-wheel-drive 911s received a freshening that left few aspects of the vehicle unmodified. The chassis, the powertrain, and the interior and exterior styling were all given a once-over. All-wheel-drive variants had to wait a year for the alterations, but they’ve now arrived, and the extra traction requires almost no sacrifice in performance. The Carrera 4S we spent a couple of weeks with, wished we owned, wrote Santa about, and tested came equipped with the sweet-sounding 355-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six introduced in the 2005 Carrera S. A trip to the track revealed the 4S couldn’t quite match the acceleration times of the two-wheel-drive model tested in November 2004 — 4.1 seconds to 60 mph versus 4.3 seconds for the 4S — but it did match the performance of the 911 Carrera S pitted against an Aston Martin V-8 Vantage (“Working Exotics,” March 2006). The slightly slower times, compared with the faster Carrera S, could be due to the all-wheel-drive model’s extra friction and 138 pounds, or …
