PORSCHE GT3

 


► Cup car points to GT3
► New Porsche 992 GT3 RS spotted
► What to expect of new sports car

The 992 has arrived, but we're still waiting to see the latest 911 in its final form. Porsche has been teasing its design since 2019 - but now our spy photographers have caught a glimpse of the ultimate naturally-aspirated 911.

The car shown features classic GT3 signatures such as centre-lock wheels and central-exit dual exhaust; but it also boasts some serious aero bits: At the front, Porsche engineers have given the RS huge bonnet-mounted outlets, and at the rear a rear diffuser combines with a racing-style swan-neck mounted rear wing. 

Further pictures have revealed more interesting details about the forthcoming RS; Porsche appears to have moved towards horizontal cooling louvres behind the front wheels, and Stuttgart has dispensed with the air-intakes usually found in front of the rear-wheels. 

Still, it looks much more extreme than its predecessor, also shown in our gallery.

Add the wider-than-stock body, and this GT3 RS looks to be an unpainted RSR. 

We’re expecting the flat-six in the GT3 RS to put out something north of the Speedster’s 503bhp, and channel it through a PDK-only box, like the current car. 

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 with 911 variant 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.

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 PDK-equipped example we drove 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.
