New Porsche 911 GT3 (992) test drive review | No longer a different dimension! Overwhelming high performance!
Release Date
This day has finally arrived.It's time to try the latest 992-type 911 and the latest GT3.
Speaking of GT3, I also owned the predecessor late 991 GT3 touring package. I also own 992 Carrera now, soThe appeal of the new GT3 while comparing it with the previous GT3 and CarreraI would like to approach.

Type 992 Porsche 911 GT3
This time, I tried the GT3 in a new color, Shark Blue.
PCCB at the feet, Race-Tex interior with sports seat plus (adaptive sports seat) with shark blue stitching inside, carbon roof with carbon mirror for exterior, LED headlight with shark blue accent ring, and 7-speed PDK It becomes a specification.
probablyThe price of the vehicle including options will exceed 28 million yen GT3 with excellent specificationsIt is.
I terrifiedly open the door and board the GT3. The black-based interior feels very sporty, and although the interior design is the same as my 992 Carrera Cabriolet, it seems to be a completely different model.
When I look at the meter, I jump in the GT3 logo. It is no exaggeration to say that you buy a GT3 to see this logo.
Already "Run fast!I feel like I'm in a hurry to GT3.
GT3's divine handling
When the engine is lit, the 4-liter NA Flat 6 wakes up, barking "Goon !!".
It's a little different from the previous GT3 that starts with "Boon! Bobo Boo!", And it is a slightly mature starting sound.
At first glance, you can operate the PDK like a manual shift knob, put it in the D range, and start.It is the same as the predecessor that there is no creep phenomenon.Slowly get out of the parking lot while pushing the accelerator a little.
I cherish this feeling of the first run, but I haven't been particularly impressed with the new GT3 so far. "It feels the same as the predecessor.While thinking, go out on the road.
Step on the accelerator a little and accelerate. Then, I was surprised at the difference from the 718 Spider that I had been riding in another test drive until just before. The 718 Spider will continue to speed up to 30km / h, 40km / h, and 50km / h with just a little foot on the accelerator.
But GT3 is not.If you don't ride with the feeling of stepping on the accelerator a little consciously, you can't run with the same feeling.
Did you know about drivability in the city? The thinness of low-speed torque and the gear ratio are just like "This is a racing engineIt's as if you were saying.
Then, approach the first curve and cut the steer rig. "What's Collya! !! !! !!Is my impression. This is neither exaggeration nor anythingI was deeply moved. You look amazing.The response and drivability are perfect. Is there any more?
I was more impressed than any supercar I've ever driven and more than a sports car. It's too great without compliments.The balance between athletic performance and comfort is godly.
This is definitely number one.
It's not just a sharp response. It doesn't just bend well.
It bends terribly and has a good response, but there is no fear.When one operation is performed like a certain supercar, it never shows a reaction of 1.2 or 1.3, and it moves as operated by a human.
If you turn the steering slowly, it will move faithfully to that movement, and if you turn it quickly, the car will move with the same feeling as that speed. Therefore, driving is extremely comfortable.
This cannot be achieved simply by increasing the response.Traditionally Porsche has an area of "reservoir" or "play" with only a few movements.Therefore, I think that it is not uncomfortable for the driver and it is possible to realize a transcendental response.
Of course, the predecessor GT3 also has excellent handling performance, but when the predecessor turned a curve at a certain speed, "Good! Good! I had the impression that it would bend in stages.
By comparison, the new GT3 is not gradual.It's a more seamless, stepless feel.So it's even easier to handle. Whether you add or remove the steering wheel, the front will faithfully follow the slightest movement.
It doesn't matter if you fly a little on a general road.Does the front have a weight on the trunk?It sticks to the road surface as if you think, and the tires catch the asphalt and do not let go. Neither undulation nor unevenness is relevant.
The front tires are always pressed against the road surface, and the feeling is transmitted to the steering as if the direction of the tires is known. This is largely due to the fact that the front has been changed to a double wishbone, similar to the race car 911 RSR.
However, the great thing about Porsche that I think of riding this GT3 isEngineering that faithfully conveys the movement of the tire to the driver who holds the steeringI think it is in.
This is true for both regular Carrera and 718, but this GT3 is further refining it.
This time, theI was operating the steering and I could imagine the direction of the tires in my head.This experience is not unheard of, but no car has ever felt that feeling as vividly as this GT3.
So I'm not afraid of any corner. It was like being pinched by a fox.

Hello, hiro.
After seeing Instagram, I was looking forward to the review.
You can buy gt3 by adding OP to Carrera s and gts!
So maybe everyone gets lost once ^^;
The level of gt3 will be too different, but even Cayman gts4.0 can be imagined somehow because it is too much to carry on the general road, I am sorry that I can not turn it, and the stimulation is weak.
Recently, I'm thinking about switching to a more underpowered car until the late 992's original cabriolet comes out.
Since Macan will be delivered, I am thinking of leaving the 2-door Porsche once and thinking of Abarth 595 left MT, but what about ^ ^ ;?
Answer Hello ds124.
Certainly, even with GTS 4.0, there aren't any scenes that really show their true potential.
I think that it is even more so with GT3 because of the gear ratio and torque.
I wrote a review about the Abarth 595 before, but it was surprisingly stable and I didn't like it. The appearance and handling characteristics are different. ..
In that case, I personally thought that Swiss Po was more fun ^ _ ^
I will comment for the first time in a long time.
This test drive article was very helpful.
I usually felt itchy in the comments of critics about the 992 GT3, but this time I could feel the "road surface information" most directly so far.
After all, the description of the person who owns many kinds of Porsche for a long time and makes it a part of the body has a different sense of resonance of the reader.
The GT3 touring I ordered last summer is expected to arrive around the end of May, and I'm tired of waiting lately, but thanks to you, my expectations have risen again.
We look forward to articles that will allow you to feel the temperature of blood flow, not just the surface layer.
Thank you very much.
Hello, Mr. Coffee from the plateau.
I am very happy to hear that!
I also look at various reviews, but I'm afraid that there is no article that writes something that interests me from the user's perspective.
I'm just an extension of my hobby, so I'd like to continue writing without being distracted by anyone, including points that everyone cares about from the user's perspective and impressions compared to other cars.
But I'm looking forward to GT3 touring! !!
I'm always looking forward to posting. I was looking forward to the article on 992GT3.
How was the difference in handling, turning performance, braking performance, acceleration, sound, etc. when running in Ashi between the 992GT3 and the 992TurboS that were tested this time?
The price difference of the main unit is 6.51 million yen, but what do you think is the difference in price?
If it is difficult to return in the comments, please post in the article!
The story changed, and the text "I bought a GT3! It's amazing! I laughed at.
General women do not know GT3 in the first place, and even Porsche is suspicious, so it seems that boasting GT3 to women seems to be idle lol
Hello. I always enjoy reading blogs.
"Traditional Porsche has an area of" play "or" pool "of a little movement.
That's why I think it's possible for the driver to feel comfortable and achieve a transcendental response. "
A book called "Spirit of Roadster" describes the "reservoir" at the beginning of steering.
"If the movement with respect to the cut amount is completely 1: 1 from the fine steering angle region, I feel sensitive at the first movement.
This is because the driver concentrates on cutting, but I will make a tame for that.
It is a correction that matches human senses. "
That's right.
The handling is also deep ~
Hello 168.
That "reservoir" is also taken into consideration in the development of the Roadster!
Maybe it's a very important factor to create a sense of unity between humans and horses, and it shouldn't be too much or too much.
I think there is just the right salt plum.
Some Italian cars have almost no "reservoir", but
I think that kind of car is used to produce the sharpness of the steering response.
It's really deep ^^
