The 911 GT3 is equipped with a Porsche 3.6 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A 6-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Porsche.

The 911 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
