Optimised for every detail

The 2026 evolution of the 911 GT3 R brings targeted improvements where they matter most. The revised aero package, including new louvres above the front wheel arches and a four-millimetre Gurney flap on the swan-neck rear wing, reduces pitch sensititvity and enhances aerodynamic behavior —especially in traffic and under variable conditions. Optimised suspension kinematics in the front increase anti-dive under braking improving platform stability. At the rear, modified multi-link geometry increases anti-squat under acceleration, while a reinforced underbody and improved brake and driveshaft cooling deliver greater consistency over long stints. The result: a car that’s more composed, more responsive, and more confidence-inspiring—lap after lap.

Ready for every challenge

Whether it’s a 24-hour endurance classic or a 30-minute sprint, the 911 GT3 R is ready. Thanks to its GT3 homologation, it’s eligible for top-level competition worldwide—from the FIA WEC and IMSA to the Nürburgring and beyond. And with upgrade kits available for existing 992-based GT3 R models, customer teams can benefit from the latest evolution without starting from scratch.

Pure performance. Proven power.

At its core: a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, delivering up to 416 kW (565 PS), depending on BoP. The six-speed sequential dog-type gearbox ensures fast, aggressive shifts. New ceramic wheel bearings in the rear, improved driveshaft cooling via NACA ducts, and enhanced steering fluid cooling all contribute to long-term durability—even on high-load circuits like Monza or the Nordschleife. Inside, it’s all about efficiency and focus. Enhanced functions on the steering wheel and improved cockpit ventilation make the 911 GT3 R a place to perform for any driver.
