Porsche 911 GT3 vs 911 Turbo or Turbo S.?
I am wondering why, when all of the above have, according to Porsche USA data, top speeds within two mph of each other, the GT3 comes equipped with the whale-tail spoiler, where the Turbo and Turbo S have much less obtrusive spoilers. Again, according to stats, the GT3 is lighter and has rear wheel drive vs the all-wheel drive of the Turbo and Turbo S.
I can't figure out why the GT3 needs a
spoiler that is so much larger than the Turbo and Turbo S.

the GT3 is more for track performance than road performance. road performance means primarily going in a straight line. track performance means predictability in handling and a very high limit of performance. by having a huge wing, the GT3 can have more downforce to help high speed cornering performance and it also gives the car a much more track oriented look.
