The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 seems like one of the most thoughtful versions of the track-focused 911 variant ever made, with a few setups available according to personal preferences. Moreover, improvements in terms of performance are minimal but consistent around the whole car, showing a certain dedication from Porsche to bring motorsport levels of performance and exhilaration to the general public. If you’re looking for a car to take to the track and have some real fun, look no further than the GT3 variant among the Porsche 911s. 

 The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is all set to thrill its owners and enthusiasts with a 4.0 L naturally aspirated flat-six engine that produces 502 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain is derived from the previous generation 911 GT3 and promises yet again to reach a 9,000 RPM redline. 

The powertrain is set to be mated with the famed Porsche 7-Speed automatic PDK unit, a revised version of the previous generation 911 GT3’s transmission. The new transmission is said to deliver even crisper shifts than before. The powertrain will also get an optional 6-speed manual transmission for the enthusiasts who want to get the best out of themselves as well as the GT3.

Opt for the automatic transmission and you also get launch control. With Launch engaged the new GT3 can reach 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.3 seconds. The intelligent transmission system also senses your driving characteristics and makes sure you are at the right gear every moment.

A drivetrain is a rear-wheel-drive unit that further enhances the driving experience with a nimble yet engaging drive. The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 will deliver quite decent performance figures compared to its counterparts. Most of the rivals cost more than the 911 GT3 and don’t even come with a manual. The closest rival in the segment is certainly the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage F1 edition considering the price, power figures, and the fact that it comes with a manual transmission option as well.

How does the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 handle?

If there’s one thing that Porsche doesn’t need any schooling for, it’s the handling. All 911s throughout generations have been the best handling cars of their eras. All thanks to the impeccable engineering and the rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout, the 911 boasts a perfect balance between traction and playfulness.

The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3, developed under the GT3 division of Porsche is all set to have one of the best handling abilities in Porsche’s history. The all-new GT3 comes with a control arm suspension setup instead of the strut-type suspension setup that was seen on all previous GT3 cars. The new upper and lower control arm setup in the front is said to reduce friction, thus, keeping longitudinal forces from affecting the dampers. This stabilizes the front tires under cornering pressure and adds stability while cornering. The 2022 GT3 is also wider than the previous generation GT3s which would definitely aid the cornering ability.

The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is expected to deliver a combined fuel economy of 17 miles per gallon. The fuel economy in the city and highway is expected to be 15 and 20 mpg respectively. The fuel economy isn’t going to be different from the previous generation GT3 but the power and torque figures seem to have increased by a tad bit. These changes might not look different on the spec sheet but the overall performance would have drastic changes. 

Especially when considering the fact that it is a newly developed project and is surely expected to stay for some years. The tank capacity hasn’t been announced by Porsche but it is certainly expected to be around 16.9 gallons just like the previous generation GT3. The new GT3 would go on to deliver a combined range of around 287.3 miles which is not bad for a GT3 inspired road car.
