A Porsche informou que cessou as entregas do 911 GT3 depois de pelo menos
cinco carros terem-se incendiado nas últimas semanas.

Quando se tem falado em fogo envolvendo  supercarros o 1• nome que surge é Ferrari mas parece que a Porsche está com um problema semelhante com 911 GT3. O último incidente ocorreu em Wilerstrasse na Suiça e o carro foi declarado perda total um valor de 200,000 CHF.


Um similar incidente ocorreu na  última semana com 911 GT3 novinho (conduzido por apenas 60 km) perto de  Avellino - Italia. No principio apareceu a luz de falta de óleo no quadrante e poucos segundos depois o carro incendiou-se tendo o mesmo destino que o carro na  Suiça.

BERLIN (Reuters) -- Porsche said today it will recall all 785 examples of its 911 GT3 sports car that have been delivered worldwide this year as it continues to investigate fires that broke out in two cars.

Porsche said it would check the engines of the GT3 and recommended owners not to use the vehicles.

Engineers at Porsche's headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, are examining the remains of the gutted vehicles from Switzerland and Italy to determine the cause of the fires, a spokesman said on Tuesday. The Volkswagen Group unit expects to conclude the investigation into the fires this week, the spokesman added.

Porsche expects to hit a target of selling more than 200,000 sports cars and SUVs in 2015, three years earlier than first scheduled, CEO Matthias Mueller said last week.
