Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992)

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (Type 992)

The spectacularly styled Cup car is the first racing version based on the current 992 generation road car and the first one make-cup racer of the German sports car manufacturer to feature a wide turbo-spec body.

Producing around 375 kW (510 hp), the new 911 GT3 Cup exceeds the output of its immediate predecessor by 25 horsepower.

The overall increase in performance of the 992 generation - over the Type 991 II generation - was immediately apparent in the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup rounds in 2021, where lap times were slashed by up to three seconds at most European circuits.

This was in part due to not only the increase in power, but increased traction and downforce, with component run times also extended over the previous generation - offering lower running costs and reliability for all.

With all 32 992 generation units sold in Australia, 2022 will be arguably the biggest in the category’s history.
