Porsche is aiming to break the 5,000 production mark with the new GT3 Cup. In the 30 years since the 964 Cup, 4,251 of the one-make racers have been made. With Cup series running from Scandinavia to Japan, Australia to Brazil, no car company has made more of a success of one-make sports car racing than Porsche.
“Like its ancestral lineage, the new GT3 Cup will assist a whole new generation of talented racing drivers on their path to professional motorsport and shape the face of our customer sport commitment around the world,” says Porsche Motorsport sales boss Michael Dreiser.
The GT3 Cup costs from €225,000 plus local taxes and can be ordered now, with first deliveries expected in February. Racing is set to commence in 2021 in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, as well as national Porsche Carrera Cup series in Germany, France, Asia and Benelux, as well as for the first time in North America.
Each Cup car is made on the same production line in Zuffenhausen as regular 911s. And that is also where the roadgoing GT3 will emerge from next year. It is a car with a lot to live up to, but this new Cup car augurs well for something really special.
