As far as celebrating a golden anniversary goes, we'd say that Porsche got Lamborghini licked. While the Italian manufacturer chose to mark its 50th anniversary by launching an ultra-expensive, outrageously styled version of the Aventador that will be made in just three examples, its German “relativeâ€, since they both belong to the VW Group, celebrated the 50th birthday of the 911 by unveiling the new GT3.

New Porsche 911 GT3 Boasts 469HP, Laps the Nürburgring in Under 7:30 [w/Video]
As far as celebrating a golden anniversary goes, we'd say that Porsche got Lamborghini licked. While the Italian manufacturer chose to mark its 50th anniversary by launching an ultra-expensive, outrageously styled version of the Aventador that will be made in just three examples, its German “relativeâ€, since they both belong to the VW Group, celebrated the 50th birthday of the 911 by unveiling the new GT3.
This is the fifth model to wear the GT3 badge since the 996-series original. All the “right†parts are present and accounted for: the fixed rear wing, single-lock alloys, istinctive front bumper with air vents on the bonnet, wide rear wings (by 44 mm compared to the Carrera S). Under the skin, though, it's very different from what has gone before.
Instead of the race-derived “split†crankcase “Metzger†engine, named after Hans Metzger who designed it for the 964 air-cooled series, the 991-based GT3 is powered by an evolution of the DFI (Direct Fuel Injection) 3.8-liter flat-six that's used in the regular Carrera S.
