Porsche 911 GT3 997 GT3 (2nd Generation)

20072012 · 997 · coupe

Considered by many the peak Mezger-engine GT3. 997.1 GT3 (2007-2009) used the 3.6L Mezger at 415 hp; 997.2 GT3 (2010-2011) bumped to 3.8L at 435 hp and added center-lock wheels. 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011, 600 units worldwide) is the unicorn — the last Mezger Porsche ever.

Watch out: Some 2010-2011 997.2 GT3 and Turbo cars were subject to a Porsche-issued recall for a rear hub-carrier lock-nut concern; verify completion. Track-used GT3s need bearing, brake, and clutch inspection — all wear faster than on a road car.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
