Porsche 911 992 GT3

The long-awaited arrival of the 911 992 GT3 means fanfare for the speedo boys wishing to have a real, no-nonsense sports car with a real, no-nonsense performance speedo boys will get hooked for more. Let's get to know the return of Porsche's track toy hero and why we are all jealous to drive one.

2022 Porsche 911 GT3

With an introductory price of 170,969 Euros plus additional costs, the all-new 911 GT3 is the finest example of a real, no-nonsense sports car that caters to all needs speedo boys demand and for this new model, it's got everything; lightweight design, a choice of a manual or PDK, and the same spartan driving manners carried from its predecessors. This is the one for them.

Checking out on the design, the 911 GT3 is similar to the normal 911 992 but the aero upgrades look like it got injected by some kind of performance-enhancing drug, leaving its lightweight design a muscular stance worth punching to the face. While aerodynamics is king for the GT3, there's something fishy about the front design because it looks like a Nissan Fairlady Z Z33 that has been modified at the Opera House. The Opera Z33 RS, remember? Well, you get the point.

On the inside, it works like a normal 911 but it's got sports seats and some rollbars on it, meaning it's all work and all play on the road and on the track if you know what I mean.

Unlike most of the turbocharged 911 models, from normal to Turbo, the 911 GT3 prefers to go old-school with the naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six engine that produces 510PS of power and 470Nm of torque, which is nice, and it can be mated to either a speedo boy favorite 6-speed MT or a quick 7-speed PDK, which lets the GT3 accelerate from 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds, which is slightly quicker than the previous model.

The 911 GT3 is famed for its spartan driving manners and the new model features improved dynamics that will deliver more combos than any of your favorite female fighters from your favorite fighting game. It hurts but it pays to get hurt while getting hooked by its improved dynamics. It's got a double-wishbone front axle for the first time in a sports car like this, allowing the 911 GT3 to behave like a racecar it draws inspiration from. It also has a five-link rear axle, larger brakes, and extensive use of lightweight materials, among many others. With such improvements, it's no wonder why the new model lapped the monstrous Nurburgring Nordschleife in 6:59.927 minutes, which is an improvement from the previous GT3.

And there you have it. The all-new 911 GT3 is the real, no-nonsense Porsche that speedo boys are ready and willing to drive without explanations and the way it goes makes us jealous to drive one someday.
