The current Porsche 911 GT3 receives a new tuning kit, this time from the German specialists from Magnat, a tuning house which prepared a package for the Stuttgart-based supercar offering some aesthetic tweaks and engine upgrades as well. Since we already talk about $112,000 model, the improvements brought by the German tuners, mainly referring to the power upgrades, are not that significant but this is not a good reason to ignore this tuning program.
Under the bonnet, the standard Porsche 911 GT3 packs a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine able to deliver 435 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque. This means that we get a 114,6 hp/liter output, good enough for a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,1 seconds and a top speed of 312 km/h.
However, Magnat decided to improve these figures a little bit by providing a remapped ECU unit and a new high-performance sport exhaust system from Wimmer RS. With this been said, the Magnat Porsche 911 GT3 delivers 462 horsepower and 451 Nm of torque, the top speed being increased to 317 km/h. We got no official details on the acceleration time but expect to see minor improvements in this regard thanks to the additional 27 horses available after tuning.
The new creation of Magnat is called Snowmobile and you’ll better understand why after discussing the aesthetic improvements. At the exterior, the 911 GT3 Snowmobile benefits from a white paint job with matte black stripes, a set of 19-inch alloy Ultraleggera HLT CT by OZ fitted with 235/35-19 (front), 305/30-19 (rear) Yokohama Advan Sport tires. Inside, Magnat provides a new leather upholstery with Alcantara trim and white stitching but also a new sound system able to provide no less than 2,100 watts.
“Especially for the GT3, Magnat has developed a down-fire subwoofer casing with 10″ woofer. Normally, this woofer principle is being used only for high quality home cinema installations, but it matches fine with the impressionating sound acoustics,” says the German tuner. No pricing or availability details were released but if you really want to get this package you can contact the aftermarket specialists as they have all the details you need.
