Overview

Competing in the midsize coupe segment, the 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 Coupe is a direct competitor to the Audi R8 V8 Coupe. However, the Nissan GT-R Coupe and the Jaguar XK Coupe are also the closest competitors with more affordable price tags. The 911 GT3 Coupe starts off at an MSRP of $115,700 with a single trim in the lineup. It is offered with a 3.8L flat-6 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, producing 435 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the 911 GT3 Coupe manages a 0-60 of 4 seconds flat and a combined fuel economy of 16 MPG.

Buying Advice

The 911 GT3 is a lightweight, track-bred weapon to go up against some of the notable supercars in the market. Being a single-trim option car, the 911 GT3 gets you features like the limited-slip differential, a unique body kit, manual-adjustable sport seats, full underbody paneling, faux-suede trim for the seats, and 19-inch center-lock wheels.
