Following the release of the facelifted Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models late last year and the new Targa, come the first details and images for the updated 911 GT3. Porsche has continued its tradition of only implementing minimal changes to the styling of its race-bred GT3, opting to focus on changes taking place under the revised sheet metal instead.
For the 2010 model year, the GT3 has been given more power, better handling, and a slightly higher base price. While U.S. pricing info is yet to be revealed, the facelifted GT3 will sell in Europe for €116,947 following its debut at March’s Geneva Motor Show.
The new GT3 gets a revised rear spoiler to increase downforce at high speeds
Power has been boosted by 20hp (15kW) over the outgoing model, with the car’s naturally-aspirated flat-six engine now pumping out 435hp (325kW). Changes to the powertrain include a larger 3.8L of displacement, as opposed to the former’s 3.6L, as well as an updated VarioCam system with adjustable exhaust valves. The end result is a 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 312km/h.
To improve handling, engineers have modified the PSM stability management system to allow more flexibility, and there is a new graduated setting for both the stability and traction control systems. Changes to the car’s aerodynamics have also been implemented, with a new spoiler design improving downforce over the rear axle. The new model exerts twice as much downforce as the current one.
Other changes include enlarged carbon-ceramic brake discs and a new adjustable front spoiler that can be raised by up to 30mm at the push of a button. Visually, the new 2010 GT3 can be differentiated from its predecessor thanks to new bi-xenon headlights, new LED tail-lamps, and revised air intakes in the front bumper.

Spectacular updates, most people (myself included) could not wring
out all the 435 horses that it has on the track. You could spend a few
years track driving this car without needing more power.

Finally!
It finally has PSM! The brakes are incredible, there is no need to view the PCCB's with jealousy since the steel brakes are the same size now. That front axle lift can be useful, expecially in NYC, but I think what sealed the deal for me was PSM. I think I will call the dealer and see if I can get in line. Looks like no DFI though?
