The '''Porsche 911 GT3 Cup''' is a [http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/30/porsches-420-hp-911-gt3-cup-car/] track-ready Racing/Supercar designed by [[Porsche]] and tuned by Porsche's Racing Department in Weissach from the [[Porsche 911 GT3]]. The car is intended to be sold to wealthy privateers to campaign in the 2008 season [[Mobil1 Supercup]], [[Carrera Cup]] and [[GT3 Cup Challenge]]. Power comes from the 3.6 litre flat-six producing 420 hp and 310 lb-ft of [[torque]], however, the body has received an extensive stripping and dieting that it now weighs only 2491 lb. This gives the car a 117 hp/litre power ratio out of the naturally aspirated engine.


Start off with a brief Introduction to the particular MODEL. Please DO NOT use the same Introduction text from the [[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]] page, but rather paraphrase ideas relevant to grasp an overall scope of the [[automobile|vehicle]].  
With 1400 units sold since 1998, the GT3 Cup is the best-selling and one of the most dominant race cars in history.  


'''Please include the following line at the bottom of this section. Please replace [[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]] with the proper text:'''
===Recent Changes===
*2011 sees yet another update to the venerable GT3 Cup. The new car is now based on the GT3 RS and, along with it, features a wider body that can accommodate bigger wheels, tires and brakes, an aggressive aero package that provides more downforce and LED lighting for when tracks go dark and dreary. Power and weight hasn't changed from the outgoing model, however. Pricing starts at £94,600 (US$149,755) plus VAT and deliveries to customers will begin in early 2011.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.

Weighing in at just 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), the car also features Porsche new 3.8 litre flat-six developing 450 bhp (331 kW) at 8,500 rpm.
