    Porsche Reveal New 911 (992) GT3 With Swan-Neck Wing and 503 HP (375 kW)

    Porsche has welcomed its newest member of the 911 GT family, the all-new 992 911 GT3.

    As expected, it packs a naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre six-cylinder which delivers 503 hp (375 kW) and 470 Nm (346 lb-ft) of torque. This is good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 3.4 seconds when paired with the PDK but if you opt for the third-pedal (six-speed manual), this will take 3.9 seconds.

    To get the weight down the engineers replaced more metal parts with lighter carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic, including for the hood, rear decklid and rear wing. As expected, the rear wing features swan-neck struts. By mounting to the top surface of the wing, there’s more surface area on the bottom side of the wing and as a result more downforce. It’s a design taken straight out of motorsport, though we’re sure not everyone will be pleased. Don’t worry, a GT3 Touring model minus the wing is also coming.

    Upfront you will find an adjustable lip spoiler and diffuser that can be set up in stages for track use. The rear wing is also adjustable. As a result, the GT3’s aerodynamics can be switched between a street setup and a performance setup. The latter increases downforce by up to 150% over the outgoing GT3, and even the street setup generates about 50% more downforce than before.

    For the first time, there is a double-wishbone front axle. It’s a completely new setup compared to the previous car and also features in the GT3 Cup racer.

    Porsche also managed a Nürburgring lap time of 6:59.927, which is 17 seconds quicker than the time of the 991 GT3 and just a couple of seconds slower than the time of the 991 GT3 RS.

    The GT3 rides on 20-inch wheels at the front and 21-inch pieces at the back. They are about 1.6 kg (3.5 pounds) lighter than the wheels on the previous GT3. A set of street-legal track tyres are available as an option, and this is the same rubber from the car’s Nürburgring lap.

    Inside you will find a new Drive Mode button on the steering wheel and a sleek PDK gearshift lever. The four-way-adjustable Sport Seats Plus are standard, but buyers can option 18-way Sport Seats Plus or carbon-fibre Full Bucket Seats, which cut about 11.79 kg (26 pounds).

    The pricing will be revealed at a later stage with orders opening next month.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
