Turn up the volume and enjoy the wonderful sound of the Porsche 911 GT3's six-cylinder boxer engine

Seven editions of the spectacular 911 GT3 have already been brought to us by Porsche, the latest of which is currently on sale presented at the beginning of 2021 and was created in collaboration with Porsche Motorsport, which clearly shows the brand’s intentions with this model. For that reason, it is undoubtedly a flagship for the brand, and so it is also a great representative for a small event before the year is out.

But first, let’s recall what the Porsche 911 GT3 hides under its bonnet, the main star of the video the brand has treated us to these days. It is an old acquaintance: in fact, it is the same engine as its predecessor, the four-cylinder boxer with 4,000 cc of naturally aspirated displacement based on the one used in the 911 GT3 R, so its development and improvements come directly from the world of competition to the road.

Just look at how important Porsche’s work in competition has been for the development of the latest 911 GT3, which is even faster than the previous 911 GT3 RS, and that is saying a lot. Moreover, this engine is used with barely any changes in the 911 GT3 Cup. This means the Porsche 911 GT3 is now capable of producing 510 CV and 470 Nm of torque, which is sent to the rear axle through the PDK dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Purists can request this beast with a six-speed manual gearbox, which will undoubtedly delight any sports car lover.

With a weight not exceeding 1,500 kilograms, even with the PDK automatic gearbox, thanks to this engine the current Porsche 911 GT3 accelerates to 100 km/h in an impressive 3.4 seconds, while the top speed will be 320 km/h with the manual gearbox and 318 km/h with the PDK gearbox. Add to this that, even totally standard, the 911 GT3 lets out a melody capable of raising the hairs on the neck of the most impassive person, something Porsche has used very well in its latest video.

Let’s set the scene: a mountain road, winding, film-like scenes and a beautiful Porsche 911 GT3. The only drawback is that this video doesn’t last longer. So sit back for a moment, turn up the volume and enjoy the sound of the boxer engine.
