PORSCHE GT3

 


Overview

With an exclusive naturally aspirated engine and race car-inspired components, the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is optimized for driver engagement and track-day glory. Porsche enhances its most visceral 911 varient with a control-arm front suspension—the first on a 911 road car—and an unusual rear wing that's mounted at the top instead of the bottom. The GT3 is also the only 911 that's not turbocharged, and the responsive nature and immersive sounds of its 502-hp 4.0-liter flat-six qualify as inspirational. The specialness of the rear-mounted mill is further realized by the telepathic seven-speed PDK automatic transmission or the rewarding six-speed manual. Thanks to a unique suspension setup and track-focused tire options, the 2022 911 GT3 has a surprisingly supple, albeit firm, ride and incredible steering feel that are just a few of the reasons it's so exhilarating to drive.

What's New for 2022?

For 2022, the 911 GT3 is back! We've followed its return for the 992-generation from the reveal of the prototype version  to Porsche's deluge of official details. An even racier GT3 RS is also surely in the works.

      As with the last generation, Porsche will eventually offer three slightly different versions of the GT3, starting with the standard car that is out now, an even more track-oriented RS model, and a Touring variant the tones down the racy look by nixing the big rear wing. This time the GT3 Touring will be available with both transmissions instead of just the manual gearbox when it goes on sale early next year.

      Engine, Transmission, and Performance

      At the tail end of the 911 GT3 is a familiar naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six that makes 502 horsepower. The engine is essentially identical to the one that powered the last 911 Speedster we tested, which spun to 9000 rpm and sung a hypnotic tune. The new GT3 offers both a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (a.k.a. PDK) or a six-speed manual. The showcased the automatic's intuitive behavior as well as the engine's spirited responses and intoxicating soundtrack. The most notable performance upgrade on the GT3 is its control-arm front suspension, which is inspired by the racecar version and is a first for a production 911. Combine that with standard adaptive dampers and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2–or stickier Cup R–tires and the coupe's chassis provides tremendous cornering grip and unfiltered feedback. While the ride is undeniably firm, it's never punishing, and the electrically assisted steering is so divine that it deserves anointment as the best in the business. Period. Stopping the purist's Porsche are massive binders that include a carbon-ceramic option that provides heroic braking power, easy modulation, and resists fade at the track.
