Porsche 911 GT3 (992)

 




The GT3 is one of the most recent Porsche 911 models redesigned to stay up-to-date with the rest of the current 992 range. It was released for the 2022 model year and is powered by a naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six producing 502 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque paired to either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch. The 992 GT3 launches from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds with the manual and 2.7 seconds with the PDK. Both transmissions are capable of a top speed of nearly 200 mph. The new GT3 is the first Porsche 911 road car to have a control-arm front suspension. Unlike previous 911 GT3s, the 992-gen model has an unconventionally-mounted rear wing, specifically from the top. It is also the only current Porsche 911 model to not be turbocharged. Other aspects distinguishing the new GT3 from other current Porsche 911 models are two front hood vents, new front and rear splitters, a central analog tachometer surrounded by digital displays, a specific GT mode that displays only important information in the digital gauge clusters beside the central tachometer, and a lack of rear seats.

Pricing for the new Porsche 911 GT3 starts at $162,450. Like with the previous 911 GT3, a Touring package is also available, with the GT3 Touring's primary distinction being the deletion of the rear wing for a more subtle appearance. It may not be my favorite version of the Porsche 911, but the GT3 is an amazing and excellent sports car. It was just a matter of time before I would see a new 911 GT3 up close, and it finally occurred at my local Cars & Coffee almost three months ago. I am in awe every time I see any Porsche 911 GT model in person, and this was no different, especially since 911 GT models are less common than the standard 911 and 911 Turbo models.
