The
Porsche 911 GT3 was introduced in 1999 as a high performance version of the first
water-cooled version of the
Porsche 911, the
996, to continue the quarter-century tradition of low-weight RS (short for "Rennsport" in
German) models that ended with the
993 RS. The GT3, named after the FIA GT class it was intended for, did not use the rather simple engine of the regular production versions of the 996, but a
naturally-aspirated version of the
turbocharged Porsche 962 and
Porsche 911 GT1 race cars. Later, the turbo-charged
Porsche 911 GT2 was added to the maker's lineup, but unlike its predecessor 993 GT2, did not fit into GT racing regulations. The racing versions of the GT3 have won several major 24h races outright, and mainly dominated their class at Le Mans. The 911 GT3 competes with the
BMW M3 GTR and the
Ferrari F430 GT2.
