    2021 Porsche 911 GT3 Coming With 503 HP (375 kW)

    Porsche will be revealing one of the most anticipated sports cars of 2021 in the near future so what do we know about the all-new 911 (992) GT3.

    While talking to Autocar, Porsche’s GT line director Andreas Preuninger confirmed that it makes use of a “modified Speedster engine” but what is modified exactly? The 992-gen 911 GT3 will have to pass regulations not applicable to the 911 Speedster during its production cycle, but thankfully the 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six revs to the same glorious 9000 rpm.

    Preuninger confirmed it would push out 503 hp (375 kW) which is a minor power bump over the 991.2 GT3 but more than enough knowing the gains the new GT3 will achieve in other areas.

    Preuninger did point out that there won’t be any more weight, saying: “I didn’t want the car to be heavier. That was critical. It has to be bigger because I’ve got the 992 body now, but I don’t want to carry more weight.”

    As you can see in the shots below, it has received some significant changes compared to the 991.2 GT3 in particular the new rear wing. With all the tweaks and aero testing, this new GT3 actually delivers a 50% increase in downforce but without any increase in drag. That’s significant, not just for track speed, but because Preuninger wants the GT3 to be quick at high velocities. “We live in Germany with autobahns and I want it to accelerate heavily until you see a ‘three’ as the first of the triple digits. After that I don’t care,” he says.

    Inside you will find the usual GT3 specific instrumentation and drive modes, which have been simplified and reduced to just Normal, Sport and Track. There is also the choice of the seven-speed PDK automatic or a six-speed manual.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
