Porsche introduced the 992.1 series of GT3 a few years ago. Now in its 25th year, the German company has introduced a revised Porsche 911 GT3. The 992.2 GT3 and GT3 Touring were introduced simultaneously. Both versions have a number of changes over the 992.1, the predecessor to the latest offering.

Particularly on winding country roads, you can clearly feel that the steering is even better tuned than its predecessor. It instils even greater confidence in the car because it responds more calmly from the centre position without losing any of its directness. The shorter gear ratio also significantly enhances driving pleasure on country roads

On the track, the new 911 GT3 enables even better control because it holds even steadier and handles better on bumps and when driving over kerbs thanks to the optimised damper tuning.The anti-dive system noticeably reduces the pitching movement when braking. As a result, the balance of the car remains significantly more consistent under all conditions

Slightly Revised Appearance

The revised Porsche 911 GT3 variants feature a sharpened design in the front and rear as well as adapted aerodynamics. Both variants have a the re-contoured front diffuser, new spoiler lip and modified fins on the underbody. As a result the GT3s have increased downforce and optimised air flow.

Additionally, there are redesigned Matrix LED headlights. This helps eliminate ancillary lights, which allow for an enlarged air inlet. At the rear there are redesigned diffuser, air inlets and rear lid. The rear wing of the 911 GT3 has new angled sideplates.

Unchanged Engine

The appearance of the revised Porsche 911 GT3 may be slightly different, but the engine remains unchanged. The 4,0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six delivers 375 kW of power. The transmission, however, is sligthly changed. Both the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and the six-speed manual have a final drive ratio that is eight percent shorter than before. The 911 GT3 and the GT3 Touring can be fitted with either transmission. The revised 911 GT3 accelerates to 100 km/h in 3,4 seconds with PDK and reaches a top speed of 311 km/h. The same figures for the manual-fitted car are 3,9 seconds and 313 km/h.
