Is the 911 turbo better than GT3?

Why at the lemans 24 hour race they use porsche 911 gt3 instead of 911 turbo?

  • Answer:

    I believe the ACO regulations do not allow turbocharging in the GT2 class or if it does it would require a smaller intake restrictor or displacement. Porsche most likely decided they could get more power from the larger intake than from a turbo and a smaller intake.

1st: theyre natrually aspirated. the turbo is not. Turbocharged cars arent allowed. 2nd: theyre much lighter than the turbos. 3rd: the turbo is the premium 911. the GT3 is the track car. It only makes sense to use the GT3 platform for the GT3 RS and GT3 Cup. 4th:theyve been developing and refining the car for years and years. using a new model would be like starting from scratch. Why fix what already wins every race?

Because the 911 GT3 gets it's name from the GT3 Endurance race category, and designed to comply with the rules for that category. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIA_GT3_European_Championship http://www.fiagt3.com

I was going to give an answer here, but Paul S has absolutely nailed it. The GT3 and GT2 cars are built for racing, I don't think Porsche has seriously campaigned a turbo since the 935.

My guess would be that turbos require more maintenence than naturally aspirated cars, therefore the GT3 would require fewer stops and would encounter fewer problems than a 911 turbo.
