992 The new GT3 version of the Porsche 911 will be available soon.
will be equipped with a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat six-cylinder engine with a power of more than 500 horsepower. Compared with the standard 911, the GT3 has some significant changes both internally and externally.
Porsche fans seem to like all the products of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, but this does not mean that the company will not listen. When we spent a few hours with Andreas Preuninger, who was responsible for the development of the new Porsche 911 GT3 in 2021, we felt that he was keenly listening to customers. In fact, he is the best ally with those who want the peerless elite 911 to become mainstream and make it more digestible.
Because the front and back sides of the prototype are slightly camouflaged, you cannot know exactly what the new GT3 looks like. But our sources tell us that it looks cleaner than ever, and the front air intake is more like a jet engine. The rear wing is mounted on the top; it looks unusual and is said to have aerodynamic advantages over conventionally mounted wings.
Open the door, the new instrument panel solves the main problem of the 992: Although the two external instruments are hidden behind the steering rim of the regular 992, the GT3 has a special GT mode that puts all important information directly on the left and right sides . The right side of the central analog tachometer. Good news came from the powertrain department of
. The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat six-cylinder engine is a superior improvement over the previous 911 GT3 or even its remarkable improvement-the 991 Speedster engine equipped with a single throttle is a notch higher. The engine’s excellent responsiveness and agility are amazing, not to mention its expected 500-horsepower-plus rating and 9000 rpm red line. The
engine is equipped with an accurate six-speed manual transmission (we are better than the standard 992 seven-speed manual transmission) or a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission. Preuninger's team listened to the customer's opinions very carefully, so the speed matching system in the manual could be completely closed.
In addition, the unfortunate shifter (similar to an electric shaver) of the conventional 992 PDK gearbox has been replaced by a grip-type shifter with independent doors in order to select gears according to God’s intention: push in a downshift, Pull to an upshift, for example on a racing car. Despite the good execution, Preuninger still likes to use console shifters for wheel-mounted paddles. So are we. The
chassis has a major change, in the form of a multi-link front suspension inspired by race-first the 911. There is no electronically controlled engine mount on the new model. They are considered unnecessary, just as they add extra weight.
At the same time, Preuninger has a further derivative in his mind. GT3 Touring will go through another iteration, complete such an excellent job, and give only the slightest hint of awesome performance. This time, both the regular GT3 and Touring will be used with both transmissions. We can safely assume that there will eventually be a GT3 RS. Customers will fall in love with them.
