Porsche has topped themselves with the launching of their new racetrack-ready 911 GT3 Cup. The commercially-available beast is best left off the freeway, and on the raceway with its track-ready specifications.
Coming in a fighting weight of only 1,200kg, the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is stripped down to only the essentials; no stereo, no passenger seat, only a fire extinguisher and a simple status screen on the steering wheel. With the option of ceramic brakes (the same the Carrera Cup racers), this car is literally track ready.
