Porsche is currently testing future versions of the
brand new 911, with the latest one scooped near Stuttgart, Germany, late in the
evening. The low light and viewing angles prevent us from trying to see if
this is either the new GT3 or the GT3 RS.
Even without spy photos, we pretty much know what to
expect in the cabin: the totally redesigned dashboard and center console that
comes with the 992-models and an instrument binnacle with a traditional rev
counter flanked by a digital screen on each side. Of course, there will be
sportier seats and the usual trim updates and perhaps other minor changes to
give the interior a sportier feel.
As for the powertrain, the all-new 911 GT3 is
believed to retain a flat-six naturally aspirated. The exact displacement is
unknown, but it sounds a lot like the one powering the outgoing 911 GT3, which
puts out 500 PS and 458 Nm of torque. A slight
bump in power is the norm, though at this point we can’t talk about figures.
Purists will likely get to order the car with the
six-speed manual gearbox, probably as part of the Touring Package, just like
the current model. As for those who cannot be bothered with changing gears,
they can always opt for the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch.
