KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — The Porsche 911 GT3, the dream car of just about every car enthusiast, was launched over the weekend at the Sepang International Circuit by Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP). This is the fifth generation of the GT3, with more horsepower and much improved driving dynamics.
Speaking at the unveiling held at the race track in conjunction with the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Round 8 and 9 event, Arnt Bayer, Chief Executive Officer of SDAP said, “Motorsports has always been in the DNA of Porsche and every Porsche has a race car at its heart. Since 1963, the 911 has been the icon of the Porsche brand and it represents all that Porsche stands for, exhilarating high-performance driving brought to life in roadworthy cars for everyday enjoyment. The new 911 GT3 delivers those very qualities at an even higher
level than before, making it possible for owners to enjoy the race car driving experience everyday on the city roads.”
