By 2024, the FIA World Endurance Championship is set to undergo a format change, opting for GT3 regulations instead of GTE (Grand Tourer Endurance) to alleviate the financial burden on racing teams. The 911 GT3 R will make its mark on the most iconic racetrack in history, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.Return to this boldly designed machine. The 992 generation of the 911 GT3 R encompasses numerous lessons in aerodynamics and engine power derived from Porsche's experiences with the 911 RSR and 911 GT3 Cup over two generations. The goal is to create a pure speed machine that responds precisely to the driver's intentions, prioritizing not only speed but also ensuring stable handling.
The powerful engine block mentioned earlier is positioned 5 degrees forward, making way for the aerodynamic wing at the rear. Equipped with aerodynamics that generate extremely low air pressure beneath the car, creating downforce to enhance road grip. Other aerodynamic details are customized to prevent downforce from transforming into drag during straight-line segments.
Combined with the extended wheelbase and rear spoiler, the rear tires will enjoy increased longevity in every race. Rear wheel shocks and brakes are redesigned to prevent the car from easily losing control as it speeds down the track.
The 992 commercial version of the Porsche 911 GT3 starts at $162,450. As for the track-exclusive 911 designed for racing teams, it comes with a starting price tag of $567,210. This figure naturally includes technical support from the manufacturer, collaborating with the engineers and mechanics of the racing teams.Explore further: According to Cnet
