The 2023 911 GT3 R is official – with a 565hp 4.2-litre flat six that'll scream all the way to 9,250rpm 😍
For as long as there’s been GT3 racing, there’s been a Porsche 911 in it. So the arrival of a new one is a big deal, especially when the 992-based GT3 R looks like this. Black is never a great colour to photograph, but it does make the new Porsche race car look mean as hell. Imagine those red lights blazing in your rear-view mirror…
Additionally, the new engine is meant to be more about drivability than outright speed, with power and torque apparently optimised ‘across the entire rev range’. Porsche says this ensures the GT3 R is ‘better suited to gentleman drivers’ - always good to keep customers happy. Those gentlemen will also be pleased to know that engine overhaul intervals are now up to 70 hours of running, from 60.
The whole car focuses on optimising this and finessing that, it seems, from extending the wheelbase and nudging just a little bit more weight forward, to pinching steering bits from the RSR and further improving the traction control. The GT3 R’s steel brakes are from AP, 390mm at the front and 370mm behind, with three sets of pads offered: one for sprints and two long-distance options.
The interior follows a similarly obsessive approach to infinitesimal gains. This sort of thing, for example: ‘The pivot hinges of the six-point safety harness were reinforced and the Porsche specialists took another close look at the belt buckle: the tongues now slide even faster into the clasp via special ramps – which save about a second during pit stops for driver changes.’ Of course, you ask any racer, any real racer, and it doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile - winning’s winning.
