Porsche 911 GT3 Cup races Boeing 747

This unique race between the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and a state of the art Boeing 747 took place at a south east Asian airport and literally redefined the Porsche stance on speed. Launching both vehicles, the Boeing takes the initial lead due to massive thrust powered by the General Electric CF6 jet engine. This massive powerhouse can put out 40,000 lbs of static thrust upon takeoff! The Boeing 747 features four of these thrust monsters to move its monstrous tri-deck flying hotel. Capable of housing up to 568 passengers. We've all seen this modern air ship fly, but now we get to see it race!

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup specifications:

  • Six cylinder boxer engine
  • 24 valves
  • Dry sump technology
  • Dual stage resonance intake
  • 440 hp @ 8000 RPM
  • 430 tq @ 7250 RPM
  • 2578 lb. curb weight

The competition is a state of the art Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and this is not a slow vehicle. It doesn't have 40,000 pounds of thrust, but it does have 440 horsepower and 430 foot pounds of torque. This low profile, quick launching, race inspired coupe can really force the G's upon it's occupants. The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is an awesome statement of speed, precision, and the Porsche engineering capability. Check out this amazing race below and post your comments!
