Tamiya 24229 - 1/24 Porsche 911 GT3  [24229]

Concerning the Porsche 911 GT3:

• Since its debut in 1963, the epoch-making Porsche 911 has captivated generations of sports vehicle enthusiasts. Over the years, various types of the 911 have actually been released, such as the 1998 Le Mans-winning 911 GT1. In 1999, the "heart" of that automotive masterpiece, the water-cooled flat-six motor, was inherited by the Porsche 911 GT3. The brainchildren behind that machine are Porsche's development engineers in Weissach, who imbued it with superior agility and handling, without compromising active security. With the capacity of accelerating to 100km/h in only 4.8 moments, with a premier speed of 302km/h, the GT3 reached a new record for production automobiles when it completed a lap in the northern circuit of Nuerburgring in mere 7.56 minutes. The exterior look of this GT3 keeps real to that particular of its predecessors, but features a fresh tail, discreet side-sills, fixed rear wing, red braking system calipers and stylish 18-inch light-alloy wheels. Weighed against the 911 Carrera, the four-piston aluminum fixed monobloc brake calipers are bigger and sturdier than before, and tightly grip the perforated braking system discs. The GT3 cockpit holds true expression of its performance. It features leather-covered bucket seats, which ensure not only sufficient part support, but also comfort on long journeys and offer about 20kg of fat savings. And considering that the entire rear-seat section of the automobile has been fallen, the overall weight of the GT3 was paid down by another 8kg-a true benefit for a sports automobile with this performance degree.
