It’s a badge that suggests one thing to even relaxed lovers of quick cars and trucks and suggests one thing incredibly unique to Porsche fanatics.
If you stick a GT3 badge on the back again of a 911, indicate it. It has to be one thing person-friendly – as virtually all contemporary 911s are. It has to evoke the wild achievements Porsche has relished in motorsport – it has to seem the portion but extra importantly, really feel the portion.
