Porsche 911 GT3 / GT3 RS 991/992 GT3

HPDE Overview

The GT3 is Porsche's masterwork — a naturally aspirated, 9,000 RPM race engine in a road car, combined with the most advanced chassis Porsche sells outside of actual race cars. The 991.2 and 992 GT3 use a 4.0L flat-six derived from the Mezger-family engines that powered Porsche's Le Mans-winning race cars. On track, the GT3 is in a class by itself. The 992 GT3's front suspension uses a double-wishbone design (a first for a 911), which provides superior camber control and turn-in precision. The rear-axle steering, wide track, and massive aero package create a car that generates substantial downforce while remaining approachable for skilled drivers. The 9,000 RPM redline is not a number — it is an experience that must be felt to be understood. The GT3 RS takes everything further with more aggressive aero, DRS (Drag Reduction System), and track-focused suspension. It is a race car with license plates.
