The 992-generation Porsche 911 GT3 is packed with specifications that are included in the wish lists of committed and demanding drivers. What's great about this new vehicle is that it remains a naturally aspirated, high-revving flat-six engine.

It also has a manual or PDK automatic transmission. "It's bigger, but not heavier. The aerodynamics are fantastic, without adding drag. We have PDK automatic gearbox that you can shift manually," said Porsche's GT cars director Andreas Preuninger via Edmunds. "And the engine, it is still a 9,000-rpm free-breathing engine," he added. According to BBC Top Gear's latest report, this vehicle is described as "The Porsche You Want."
992-gen Porsche 911 GT3's engine
Preuninger explained that the new car's turbo-free flat-six is a development of the 991-generation Speedster's 4.0-liter engine. Most of its changes are focused on future regulations that will apply in its life cycle.

The 992-gen Porsche 911 GT3's engine still provides friction-free revs and produces fizzing intensity that none of its turbocharged rivals can muster. When it comes to power, the vehicle is packed with 510 horsepower, which is just 10 horsepower higher than the 991 GT3.
This means that its speed hasn't changed that much. Preuninger explained that the power increase is little because of the regulatory landscape. He also added that 80% of the company's engineering resources are committed to just getting the car on the road.
The vehicle's enhanced aerodynamic feature
Although the 922-gen Porsche 911 GT3 hasn't received that much horsepower, it is still packed with corner-navigating efficiency. The car has more than 50% more downforce compared to the previous GT3, thanks to its enhanced aerodynamic efficiency.
During the test-run, it was revealed that this vehicle is formidably quick at speed. What's great about it is that the driver can still feel stable inside the car while it is going at high speed.
This experience is made possible but its race-derived hung rear wing, which cleans the airflow into the engine and pummels the air into forcing the rear axle downward.
