With these changes, the car breathes better, cools more efficiently, and perhaps most importantly, generates
far more downforce than the road car.

Nissan goes so
far as to claim the Nismo Z has
more downforce than any sector rival.
New side intakes feed the radiators for improved cooling and there's new 5 - spoke 650S alloys get Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres for better performance and the active aerodynamics have been
further developed for
more downforce and increased stability as well as a new air brake clever enough to know when it's needed.
Following the roots of the 2016 911R, a touring version of the GT3 was introduced that removes the rear wing and replaces it with the rear spoiler from the Carrera GTS to give a
more smooth and flowing aesthetic image, though it extends
further upwards to provide extra
downforce.
The rear wing is complemented by additional carbon - fiber flics on the front skirt, which
further increase
downforce at the front axle, as opposed to the
more inward - lying standard carbon - fiber flics, which optimize airflow into the cooling modules.
As yet a
further point the car's aerodynamics develop even
more downforce than on the GT3, again benefiting the qualities of the car on the race track.
Further back you'll see a brand new carbon fiber rear diffuser finished in a shiny acrylic resin which, just like its frontal counterpart, helps by generating that little
more downforce.
