Hot on the heels of the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 being unveiled, the German car manufacturer has dropped the official online configurator for the car. While not yet available on Porsche’s U.S. website, the UK configurator allows shoppers to create their dream 911 GT3 and send that spec to their nearby Porsche dealership. For mere mortals like ourselves, it’s an excellent way to kill some time.
In creating our perfect GT3, we ditched
the Shark Blue paint presented with the new car in favor of the more subtle
Gentian Blue Metallic. We also opted to have the aggressive 20/21-inch wheels
painted in Satin Neodyme to offset the blue. Red brake calipers come standard.
There’s also a lightweight carbon fiber roof.
Inside, we went with the leather interior
complete with Shark Blue stitching and the optional full bucket seats. There
are also seat belts finished in Guards Red, the optional light design package
and a fire extinguisher. We have also opted for the carbon fiber interior package
and the Bose surround sound system.
As a reminder, the updated Porsche 911 GT3
is powered by a naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine that revs to
9,000 rpm and produces 502 hp and 469 Nm of torque. This engine can
be coupled to either a seven-speed dual-clutch PDK or a six-speed manual.
Examples equipped with the PDK can hit 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and a
top speed of 317 km/h while those with the manual need 3.9 seconds to
reach 62 mph but can hit 320 km/h.
