Porsche - 996 GT3 - 1999
GENERAL:
Presented in 1999, the Porsche 911 GT3 (996. 1 generation) was homologated to allow Porsche to compete in GT3 racing. This first series is notable for incorporating the legendary Mezger 3. 6-liter liquid-cooled boxer engine (code G-M96/76) , designed by the renowned engineer Hans Mezger and directly based on the block of the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1 prototype. This unit, registered in 1999, corresponds to the sought-after Clubsport version of the first series. It has only 58,743 km on the odometer and retains its track- and road-focused configuration.
BODYWORK AND PAINT:
Exterior paint in metallic silver/gray finish. The vehicle is equipped with the fixed rear wing characteristic of the GT3, specific bumper and side skirts. The wheels are removable multi-hole rims with red brake calipers. Front tires measuring 225/40ZR18 and rear tires 285/30ZR18 (Hankook Ventus S1 evo³) .
MECHANICS:
Equipped with the naturally aspirated 6-cylinder 3,600 cc boxer engine (type G-M96/76 “Mezger”) , delivering 360 hp (265 k. W) at 7,200 rpm and a maximum torque of 370 Nm, reaching a redline of 7,800 rpm. It delivers 0–100 km/h in 4. 8 seconds and a top speed of 302 km/h. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox. It comes with a maintenance book, although not all service entries have been stamped at a Porsche dealer or workshop. Currently it has all services and maintenance up to date, including the MOT (ITV) . All four tires are in good condition, the brake pads are also in good condition, and the battery is new.
INTERIOR:
The black interior includes the Clubsport package with Recaro racing bucket seats with red harnesses, as well as a roll cage installed at the rear. It has a fire extinguisher mounted in the passenger footwell, a three-spoke leather steering wheel, a leather insert with the “GT3” insignia on the handbrake lever, and door panels upholstered in black leather.
DOCUMENTATION:
It has a Spanish technical sheet and Spanish registration permit, both original documents.
PICK-UP:
The vehicle can be viewed and collected in Rellinars, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Transport/shipping costs, change of ownership, export procedures and the Certificate of Conformity (COC) are not included in the bid unless stated otherwise.
