Porsche has revealed its 992-generation 911 GT3 R racer, set to compete against the Audi R8 LMS GT3, BMW M4 GT3 and Ferrari 296 GT3 -
To safeguard its progress, Porsche hasn’t spent too much time increasing power or reducing weight – any large advantages would broadly be cancelled-out by the Balance of Performance regulations imposed by the FIA – but improving resilience and driveability.
The engine itself has also gone through some upgrades, with a larger 4194cc capacity thanks to a larger crank case and a wider bore, increasing from 102mm to 104.5mm. This has boosted power marginally from the 991.2, now rated at 557bhp, a 15bhp increase.
The GT3 R will be available for customer racing teams in time to compete in 2023, costing €511,000 not including local taxes. Come 2024, it’ll join the new FIA GT3 class in the World Endurance championship, giving Porsche Motorsport a formidable pair of racers it hopes will dominate on the world’s most auspicious circuits including Spa-Francorchamps, Le Mans and Silverstone.
