Three customer teams field the successful GT3 vehicle, which will give its final farewell performance Down Under. As stipulated by the regulations, the GT3 cars must be last year's spec. Facing stiff competition from vehicles from nine other manufacturers in the top category, the Porsche teams have good chances of success.
The 911 GT3 R was designed by Porsche for worldwide GT3 series. Mounted with the ultra-modern, 4.0-litre flat-six engine with direct fuel injection, the 542bhp customer sport racer celebrated its race debut in January 2016 at the Daytona 24-hour race.
Since then, the racer has notched up victories in numerous international racing series, for example in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, the World Challenge, the ADAC GT Masters, and at the Nurburgring VLN long-distance championship. For 2019, the model will be replaced by a new version.
