Porsche 991.2 GT3

Forget the switch to water-cooling, for Porsche enthusiasts, 1998 was really all about the release of the first Porsche 911 GT3. It marked the beginning of a new model range that has worked its way into Stuttgart legend.

Unlike the standard 996 Carrera, the GT3 offered a dry sump, race-bred engine, the architecture of which could be traced back deep into the air-cooled era. Designed by legendary Porsche engineer, Hans Mezger, the 3.6-litre engine developed 365hp at an impressive 7,200rpm.

Named after the FIA racing series it was designed for, the first 911 GT3 was still very much a road car. As it turned out this would be the key to the car’s success with 1,858 996.1 GT3s leaving the bespoke production line at Porsche’s Motorsport Department.

Fast-forward through four models and 19 years and you arrive at Porsche’s latest GT3 offering. The Porsche 991.2 GT3 was launched in 2017 at the Geneva Motor Show. A new 4.0-litre engine derived from the GT3 Cup cars, a 991.1 GT3 RS-matching 500hp output and 997 GT3 RS-equalling downforce make the new Porsche 991 GT3 an even more compelling choice in Gen2 guise.
