The all-new Porsche 911 GT3 is a car to get excited about, not your everyday Porsche rental. The GT3 is a race-bred, track-tested, precision-guided, speed-seeking race car. Porsche took its latest generation platform 997, tore it apart, and then built the best handling, most fun street-legal car they could. Built on a modified 911 body that was lightened and tuned for extreme handling. The suspension upgraded, brakes improved and a short-shifter installed for rapid gear changes. Let us know if you are in Miami, New York, Chicago or LA and ready to feel the power and prowess of a Porsche!
