2010 Porsche 911 GT3: 435 HP, Priced From $112,200!!

Looks interesting.

The 911 GT3 continues pushing the definition of what a rear-engined car is capable of and with a 20 HP bump up to 435 HP from the 3.8 liter flat six, 0-60 MPH is in 4.0 second range with a top speed of 194 MPH, but that's not really the news here. The real word on the new GT3 is technical refinement. That 3.8-liter flat six gets Porsche's Variocam system hooked onto the both the intake and exhaust for the new car, improving performance throughout the rev band. Torque is claimed to be improved but no figures have been given at this point.

That engine rests on magnetorheological engine mounts, meaning the mounts can go from heavy dampers to keep things smooth in the cabin to solid bricks with no flex, transmitting every ounce of power to the wheels. That power gets routed through a suspension designed with stiffer springs and anti-roll bars while ride comfort is supposedly unaffected. That suspension does another trick too, by utilizing an onboard compressor, and what we assume is an airbag system, the car can raise itself 1.18 inches to make it easier to get over speedbumps and up ramps.

Other improvements include aerodynamic considerations, new two piece brakes with an aluminum center section to cut unsprung weight, fancy bi-xenon headlights, LED tail lights and modified air intakes. Current details available below and we'll have the complete details when the car debuts in March.

That's some serious upgrades rather than a facelift.The biggest concern I had with my last 997GT3 was stability at high speed. I hope they resolve that this time with the new aero design.
