'Perfected' 992.2 Porsche

911 GT3: LIGHTLY OVERHAULED WITH SAME POWER AND TORQUE OUTPUTS AS BEFORE

- Charl Bosch

Porsche has extended the roll-out of the facelift 992.2 generation 911 to its hardcore models with the first being the revised GT3 and GT3 RS.

Introduced as part of the moniker's 25th anniversary since the original 996-based model bowed as a lightweight, non-turbocharged version of the GT2 aimed at racing, the GT3 incorporates the same aesthetic changes as the regular 992.2, but with a number of obvious differences.

In the case of the more restrained former, the prominent rear wing from the RS has been replaced by an extendable rear spoiler and Gurney flap with the Touring variant gaining a special 911 GT3 Touring badge on the grille of the decklid.

For the RS, the mentioned rear wing gains new angled sideplates so as to provide better downforce, while the wheels measure 20-inches at the front and 21-inches at the rear with the option of being swapped-out for road-approved track wheels.

Inside, the changes are slightly more prominent with the standard GT3 sporting a black interior complete with sport bucket seats, and for the first time, a pair of rear chairs as an option.
