Welcome Back: 2004 Porsche 911 GT3

996 911 GT3 is too old but it's very good!

Porsche's 996 GT3 uses the 996 as its base but it lost a lot of weight. Not only that, it comes with stiffer, adjustable suspension and upgraded brakes, and used the bodyshell of the four-wheel-drive version, which incorporated additional front-end stiffening. In 1999, 996 GT3 comes with a 3.6L flat six engine that generates 360bhp of power while in 2002, the GT3 was improved with even better aerodynamics and the 3.6L flat six engine was improved to generate 380bhp of power.

In Series 3 opener of Top Gear (U.K.), Richard Hammond test drives the Porsche 996 911 GT3 and this is the last car the original, black-colored, Stig drove around the Top Gear Test Track right before his death at the HMS Invincible. It lapped round the track in 1:22.3.
