Had an extremely rare opportunity to snap a couple of shots of the Porsche 911 GT3 (997). Was thankful for the weather to hold up in this monsoon season. Before I continue with showing you guys pictures taken at the Kallang Leisure Park Carpark, I would like to thank Desmond, the owner, for spending time off his hectic schedule to accommodate this session.
I'll start off with the interior bits, before zooming out to the wonderfully crafted race-inspired Porsche design in the next post.
 |
| Tyre pressure parameters laid out for simple reference |
 |
| The magical figures that only Porsche engineers can scale down |
 |
| No fanciful markings signalling serious intentions for purists |
 |
| A peek into the driver's cockpit reveals a chilli-red seat belt |
 |
| It's a rather special feeling to be in the driver's seat ... |
 |
| ... with the key just within a hand's reach, ... |
 |
| ... and that I am just a clockwise swipe away from aural nirvana ... |
 |
| ... when the clock struck 12 |
 |
| The knob that made the motoring world shiver in delight till today ... |
 |
| Water temperatures were in the perfect range ... |
 |
| ... with coolant mixtures in the appropriate level ... |
 |
| ... and we know that these vital fluids will be well taken care of... |
 |
| ... under the tender loving care of Exquisite Marques |
 | |
| Over-sized filter and intake to feed air into the power hungry Boxer 6 |
 |
| Even the latch seems as though they were freshly lubricated |
 |
| The hidden Boxer 6 lying low to provide optimum Center of Gravity ... |
 |
| ... and to hunker down those busy rear wheels during rapid acceleration |
 |
| ... in a car that deserves special attention |
 |
| The steering felt "M" thick ... |
 | ||||||
| ... and generous alcantara leather pampers both driver the passenger |
 |
| Race inspired looks even look plush without the optional roll cage |
 |
| A second look reminds me that this Autobahn stormer means serious business |
 |
| A lightened door keeps weight to a minimum |
 |
| I'll leave you with the carefully sculpted seats that provide perfect lateral support |
Now that you have an idea of how the GT3 looks like from the inside, it's time to feast your eyes onto the exterior in the next blog entry. Stay tuned! =)
