Other Changes
The GT3 sports 15-inch front brake rotors with separate aluminum carriers, stiffer springs in the suspension and a smaller anti-roll bar in the front of the car. Introduced for driver aids are stability control with a dynamic drivetrain that has a lifting feature. The front end of the vehicle can raise 1.2 inches by pressing the magic button which allows the car to take on steep roads without damaging the front bumber.

Speeding at 186 mph sees the down force increasing from 66 pounds to 220 pounds. Carfind
