PORSCHE 911 GT3 Cup [Type 992] – (Porsche Carrera Cup GB)
Porsche’s vision is to create the perfect race car and the newly introduced 911 GT3 Cup (Type-992) for the 2022 season is a step closer to achieving this. The car is faster, more durable, more efficient and even safer than its predecessors. It is quite simply a pure-bred race car and a precision instrument for the race track.
Developed from scratch, the engine offers even greater power output than the previous model. The four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine delivers up to 510 hp at 8,400 rpm and 470 Nm at 6,150 rpm. Drive force is transmitted to the rear axle by a racing clutch and a Porsche six-speed sequential transmission and limited slip differential.
In addition, a key benefit of this new drive system is that the engine and gearbox run times have been doubled before they require their first rebuild since the last generation with 100 hours engine runtime and 120 hours gearbox runtime, thereby significantly reducing operating costs.
Delivering incredible performance, the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is also the most equal car in motorsport, clearly demonstrating individual driver skill and nerve.
