Stuttgart-based sports car maker will unveil the new Porsche 911 GT3 for the Singaporean market on September 5th, and to spice things up, the GT3 will race the Boeing 747 aircraft (from Jett8) at the Changi Airport. The event, which is Asia’s first ever jetliner-versus-car race, will be opened to 200 members of the public (grandstand view).

According to the organizers, members of the public who spend a minimum of S$30 in a single receipt in the public areas of Terminal 1, 2 or 3 between August 15th and August 23rd will qualify for a lucky draw to win a pair of tickets. Furthermore, another 500 tickets will be available for a live screening of the event in Terminal 3. The Porsche 911 GT3 is able to sprint from naught to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, and will max out at 312 km/h, thanks to its 3.8 liter boxer engine.
