Rigid chassis with rear-axle steering

The chassis of the 911 GT3 is testament to Porsche’s experience in motor sports. In addition to the basic design, which is optimised for precision, the chassis also boasts superior handling characteri­stics, thanks predominan­tly to the active rear-axle steering.
