What will the new Porsche 911 GT3 (992) look like?

The 992 Porsche 911 GT3 is the fastest and most aggressive ever

Currently, Mr. Frank (Frank-Steffen Walliser), who is in charge of developing Porsche 911, seems to be putting a lot of effort into the new Porsche 911 GT3 anyway.

This time, it ’s the Australian media.WhichCarWas posted as new information on the new Porsche 911 GT3, so I took a look.

* What is written here is the content written in the article, and there is a possibility that some information is not yet finalized.

* The unexplained photos in this article are images of the Porsche 911 RSR as a reference for the Swan Neck described later. The spy shots and videos of the new Porsche 911 GT3 that have appeared several times so farI'm giving it to Twitter..

Porsche 992 GT3 announcement in the first quarter

The original plan is that the new Porsche 911 GT3, which is a 992 type, was scheduled to be unveiled at the 2021 Geneva Motor Show.

However, due to the current prevention of coronavirus infection, the 2021 Geneva Motor Show has been cancelled. Well, I wanted to see it!

So, due to the cancellation of this Geneva Motor Show, the announcement of the new GT3 is tentative at the moment, but the announcement date is scheduled for the first quarter.

The new Porsche 911 GT3 focuses on weight reduction

According to Porsche internal officials, it seems that the new GT3 will be "a little more than 500 horsepower (368 kW or more)", and more than that, the new GT3 is devoted to reducing its weight anyway. It is said that it is.

In addition, the suspension has been made into a farm to improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle. Oh. Furthermore, I wonder if it will rattle when driving at low speeds in the city (laughs). Already, but I like everything so it's okay (who I'm telling).

NA engine, transmission MT and PDK

So, although there have been various rumors so far, it has been confirmed that the new GT3 will eventually become an NA engine, and development with both manual transmission and PDK transmission is going on in parallel. It is said that it has been confirmed that it has been damaged.

MT and PDK even with the new Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package

It is said that a wingless touring package will be released for this 992 type GT3 as well (spy shots are already on the market), and according to overseas media, not only a manual but also a PDK will be provided in the touring package. Will it be different? It is said that.

Rear wing is a hanging swan neck

It was a new GT3 that was witnessed (spy shot) trying various aerodynamics, but it seems that the final shape of the rear wing has finally been decided, and it was also witnessed at the very end. It seems to be a "swan neck" wing.

The swan-neck-shaped wing found in race cars such as the Porsche 911 RSR is top-mounted, that is, a hanging type, unlike the wing that is usually mounted from the bottom.

It seems that it is still unknown here, but by making this hanging swan neck wing, Porsche 911 GT3 may realize the downforce merit of around 16% more than ever. It is.

In addition, it seems that doubts about sound remain because the new GT3 is equipped with a gasoline particulate filter.

It sounded really good in the spy video, but I don't know if the individual had a filter ... Hmmm.

For the brakes, why not use a 420mm carbon rotor from the new Porsche 911 Turbo S? When.

It looks like Porsche will have another busy year from 2020 to 2021. Announcing the Porsche 911 GTS, Panamera's Facelift, Taycan Cross Turismo, and GT3!

I'm looking forward to it. And after all, for me ... I'm most looking forward to the announcement of the new Porsche 911 GT3 ^ ^
