2000 Porsche 911 GT3 (996.1) – The Purist’s Porsche

This vehicle is only visible in the Eau de Pétrole Showroom.

Born from Porsche’s motorsport DNA, the 2000 Porsche 911 GT3 (996.1) is where road meets race. This is the original GT3 — the car that launched a dynasty — built not for comfort, but for connection. Raw, responsive, and refined through track-tested engineering, it remains one of the most analog and engaging 911s ever made.
Hand-assembled in Weissach, powered by the legendary Mezger engine, and developed as a homologation special for the GT3 Cup race series, this early GT3 is not just a car — it’s a milestone.

Key Specifications:
3.6L Mezger Flat-Six Engine – 360 hp at 7,200 rpm (non-Turbo block heritage)

6-Speed Manual Transmission (G96/90) – Close-ratio and built for high-revving thrills

0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds – Fast, focused, and deeply rewarding

Rear-Wheel Drive with Limited-Slip Differential

Fully Stripped of Excess – No rear seats, no traction control, just pure Porsche

Technical Highlights:
Dry-Sump Lubrication – Ensures reliability under high G-forces
Bilstein Suspension and Lowered Ride Height – Track-ready dynamics
Cross-Drilled Ventilated Disc Brakes – Massive stopping power
Lightweight Construction – Approx. 1,350 kg curb weight
Recaro Bucket Seats (optional Clubsport Package)
Original GT3 Aero Kit with Rear Wing and Front Splitter

Exterior & Interior:
Finished in Sealgrey
GT3-Specific Front and Rear Fascias
18-Inch Lightweight Alloy Wheels
Interior Focused on Driving – Leather, lightweight panels, minimal distractions

Heritage & Significance:
The 996.1 GT3 is the first of its kind — a spiritual successor to the 964 and 993 Carrera RS models, and a direct link to Porsche’s Le Mans-winning GT1 engine. It was never sold in the U.S. market, making European-spec cars particularly desirable and increasingly collectible.
With only a few thousand units produced between 1999 and 2001, the early GT3 stands apart as the most raw, motorsport-focused iteration — untouched by driver aids, turbos, or electronic insulation.

First-Ever GT3 – The car that started a legacy

Naturally Aspirated Mezger Engine – One of Porsche’s greatest
