The PASM dampers mean the ride is adequately comfortable for commuting, but the GT3 is still hard work in traffic because of the gearshift and a heavy clutch.
The rear cage in our Clubsport model restricts the ability to load bags into the rear seat area (all GT3s are strictly two-seaters for racing homologation purposes), but there’s always the surprisingly spacious boot in the nose.
Just don’t go expecting many thrills in the cabin. It’s brilliantly laid out, but there’s little more to distinguish it over a regular 911 – that’s to say, well made with good materials, but lacking entirely the exclusive style you’ll find in an Aston Martin Vantage.
As for fuel consumption, taking it steady allows for a touring figure in the low to mid-20s, but of course that figure plummets with spirited use of engine revs.
At £79,540, the GT3 actually seems something of a bargain considering its performance and general ability, but the addition of ceramic brakes and a smattering of the toys from the Porsche cupboard can cause the price to rise rapidly. But the bottom line is this: the GT3 is a car that will lap the Nürburgring all day long at fantastic speeds and then provide you with an air-conditioned, CD-fed cruise home in relative comfort. And yes, you could use it every day, with dedication.
