The 991.2 generation of Porsche’s 911 GT3 marked a significant improvement over its predecessor, incorporating several desirable changes. Responding to the passionate demands of Porsche enthusiasts, the company decided to break away from offering only the PDK transmission and provided a manual gearbox as a no-cost option.
Powering this new iteration is a remarkable 4.0-liter engine, inspired by the GT3 Cup cars, boasting an impressive 500 bhp output to match the 991.1 GT3 RS. Noteworthy enhancements such as a new crankshaft and valve gear contributed to achieving this power.
The 991.2 GT3 also received subtle aerodynamic improvements, introducing an entirely new diffuser, resulting in the same level of downforce as the acclaimed 997-generation GT3 RS. Elevating its prowess on the track, Porsche included active engine mounts, rear axle, steering, and a limited-slip differential as standard equipment, further solidifying its credentials as an exceptional track-day performer. With these welcomed changes, the 991.2 generation 911 GT3 earned the admiration of Porsche enthusiasts and proved to be an impressive evolution of the iconic sports car.
