Introducing the all-new Porsche 911 GT3!
It’s the hard-core, track-ready version of the Porsche 911 992, and we think it might be the best Porsche ever! Trust us, it’s not all extra wings and aero, there’s much more to reveal than meets the eye.
For starters, there’s a treat in store for you old-fashioned driving enthusiasts - the new GT3 comes with a manual gearbox! What’s more, it’s powered by a naturally-aspirated 4-litre six-cylinder Boxer engine to deliver 510hp & 470Nm of torque! Sure, it’s not as powerful as the Turbo S, but it’s still 10hp & 10Nm more than you’ll find in the old GT3.
There’s a whole host of other changes over the standard Porsche, including less weight and all-new suspension! All the details will be revealed in this video, but what we want to know is… Do you think the new GT3 will be worth the expected £100,000+ price tag?! Let us know in the comments!

Porshe has gone old-school with this one I'm loving it sooo much
"has gone"
And so are we!

Well I guess it's 199 mph because that's "exactly" 320 kmh and 200 mph would be 322 which would be kinda odd for the German marketing. Greeting from Germany ✌️

Wieso gibt Porsche überhaupt mph an? Das metrische System ist doch sowieso viel besser o.O
Greetings from netherlands
Personally, I feel this is one of the most aesthetically pleasing modern cars.
Hell no. It's just another boring 911... Good car, not so good design
@@francescob.38 Great design. Legendary design.
I prefer the 991 generation way better
@@josewladimirbernardes9351 Yes, the 991 generation is one of the best Porsche generations ever. But in a world where in the near future nearly all new cars sold will be electric, I'm so happy to see car manufacturers still making cars like the new GT3. Naturally aspirated, looks incredible, comes with a 6 speed manual and still retains a good sound. I love it.
@@Jed_Rudman absolutely
"Vegeta, what does the tachometer say?" "IT'S OVER 9000!"
Dbz/car heads, my people 🤜🤛
510 hp ? N/A? No forced induction ?
@Tom Storm half the hp and smaller displacement. Motorcycle engines rev even higher. A production flat 6 redlining at 9k rpm is extremely impressive
@@sutherlacd27 i agree with u but the f20c is a really good engine as well
It's insane! Kudos to Porsche for keeping the naturally aspirated engine.
Yeah I like this Volkswagen
@@Johncena-od8gu jealousy
@@Johncena-od8gu a Volkswagen you won’t ever be able to own sooo 🤷🏼♂️
Lol why are people triggered I just called it a Volkswagen(which it is) y'all are sensitive kids
Agreed!
Man I love how Porsche is offering manual, it's basically endangered rn
Come to India for seeing manual transmission
🙌🙌🙌
Manuals are not rare, at least not here in germany o.O Also, it's a given for the GT3 to be a manual
Manual gang wya?
new m3/m4 also can be with manual
They didn't "round it to 200 mph" because at Porsche they measure speed in km/h.
Gottyah
I thought they did in the UK too
@@obodoyo you know they do everything wrong there
They don't measure speed full stop. Porsches, especially gt cars, notoriously have more power and and go quicker than the recorded top speed
This is masterpiece. One of the last real supercars.
it's a sport car
@@aivix3709 it does the ring in 7 minutes. Thats supercar number
@@tnikoli40 but 911 is a sports car and always has been
@@aivix3709 yes, but I think GT series is more supercar than sport car. But it's not important.
@@tnikoli40 I googled is porsche gt3 a supercar and it said no, (at least in public eye its not) back in the day nissan gtr was able to beat supercars in straight, but it was still not considered as a supercar
It's 199 mph because Porsche evidently doesn't use the imperial system when designing the specs. 199 mph = 320 km/h top speed.
Miles per hour sounds boring compared to kilometres per hour lol
No car maker uses the imperial system because the metric system is the world wide Standart science system and when it comes to engineering no one uses the stupid imperial system
Do they use both metric and imperial system in the UK?
@@nickolastiguan I believe most of them use the imperial system for "everyday" stuff. Like short distances, food weight, etc... I don't know if they go as far as the US and use it in small construction. Which is absolutely retarded when talking about drill bit sizes for example. Look it up, they even use fractions like 25/64" or 21/32" diameter. In the UK I'm sure all the important stuff uses metrics though
@@richirallyefelge5677 Even USA joined in the meter-convention but they still use miles, pound, inch, feet and abstruse stuff like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think this generation of 911 GT3 is going to age very well over the years. Absolutely stunning.
I think the old one is better
Screws over my chances of getting one some time down the line
Yeaaah same look for 20yrs, I know most cars but when i see a Porsche don't know if its a 1999 or 2020 Why purchase a new Porsche?
@@dghost198 In case you are thinking the old one was like other 911's then you are wrong, the GT3's always remained old school and N.A. I knew you had mistaken the older GT3 to be more modern, cause, there is almost no reason to love the old one over the new GT3. Now, can't you cheer Porsche for still keeping up the N.A engine via a manual transmission till date.
@@larrypascal572 the 1999 996 looks drastically different than this one. The mid to late 00s 997 looks drastically different than the 996 and this one. The last gen 991 looks drastically different than the 997 and has noticeable differences than this one. Seriously look them up
Wonder why he said, “Porsche is joining the n/a cars,”...they have been there forever. Either way...nice of Porsche to keep the 3rd pedal. Cheers all.
Manual gear might make a big difference, but can't make out the difference for an N.A car over a turbo car in ride quality, and the difference for driving it. I mean like driving either an N.A car or a turbo car just feels the same. Btw, Yeah correct the 911 GT3 had always been N.A right from the start till date.
I’m German, so... dear Carwow, we really respect and appreciate you. We can see that you really take care of your videos, and we LOVE THEM. But please; get the pronunciation of PORSCHE right! It’s called PorschE (it’s important to pronounce the “E” at the end) I know that this can be tricky for native English-speaker. So I try to break down every letter for you guy’s on how to pronounce it the right way! *P* - As in “Poltergeist” (The English version of the word) *O* - Same as above! So the first two letters are pronounced like the above-mentioned word! (PO ltergeist) *R* - this is something very unique to the German language. Try this: Try to take back your tongue as much as possible whilst saying “right” this is the “r” that you should be using. It should sound like a “grunting” noise. So we now have 3 letters *P O R ...* *SCH* - as in (shy) you pronounce it EXACTLY like how you would normally say it. BUT instead the “y” you just attach a “eh” The “eh”-sound should be exactly like the first “e” of (Elevator) So... *P O R S C H E* So Now You got it right 🤙🏽🤜🏽
Das kriegt Mat nie hin :D

I agree with you brow... The english language should be can appreciate the other laval language... 👍🙏
This Porsche is something special😍
The last of it's kind
All Porsches are special, that's why it's the best brand without any real competition. They outclass Audi, BMW and Mercedes in the luxury segment with the Panamera, Cayenne and Macan, they dominate the sportscar market for decades now with the 911 and with the GT and 918 they proved they can play with the similar big names like Ferrari and McLaren. Not to mention Porsches dominance in LeMans and the legendary rivalry with Ferrari in Form of cars like the 959 vs F40 or the 918 vs the LaFerrari. Aside from that Porsche has just absolutely stunning design, it's simple and beautiful, the best thing is that the car doesn't look angry. A Lamborghini looks like it had a bad day and his wife cheats on it, the 911 looks like it had an awesome day and a rendezvous with the wife of the Huracan :D
@@DefinitelyNotEmma Yanni won't be happy reading your comment
@@m3e92ismydreamcar well, but it's the truth lol. Lamborghinis look always so grumpy, that's why the Gallardo was the best one together with the Miura, they both look happy :D
@@m3e92ismydreamcar I would like the cars if they would look good, that's why I prefer brands like Aston Martin, Porsche or in the more specific case the Audi R8 ^^ I like the AMG GT too because it looks like a shark especially in the silver spec my dad has

makes no sense lmao. porsche turbo has always had a turbo, and the gt3 has always been naturally aspirated.
@@E46325mod nobody did say something about turbo or n/a engines, wtf man
The new GT3 looks very fresh! But I still like the „old“ GT3 from 2014!
Me too... I think it'll go down as a future classic tho
The GT3 3.8L 475... love that car. Timeless design... which can't be said for many 911s.
they all look great tbh and most importantly they all look the way a 911 should look.
in terms of looks the 991.1 is the best in history of the gt3. also the interior is sweet in this. dont like the new one. too much screens. the 997 was also nice but had an ugly steering wheel.
I fully agree with you. Don't like the front, and the back (no 911 anymore). Considering roughly 13 secs gaining on the Nordschleife, I will stick to my 991.2 GT3 - for me personal best locking GT3 ever. Inside as well as outside. For trackdays in rainy and snowy conditions I will use my additional new Toyota GR Yaris tracktool. The perfect match of driving fun on track.
I kinda liked the gear lever in AT thank god thus brought it back!!
Glad Porsche keeps it fun with a manual gearbox and an amazing na engine. What a combo.

Fastest car around the Ring?
Carwow notification gang?? 🤨🤨
Kick on the arse for that one
@Vexi 573 i think the new Model S will do 7mins on the ring.
Not yet! 6:59 at the moment but they did it on a normal drive with the not finished version, the amg gt black series got a 6:48
they did a 6:55 on the 20,6 km and 6:59 on the 20,8 km
It looks fabulous 🔥🔥🔥
Love it want one in blue and those rims and manual old school gearbox!!!❤️❤️❤️
im so excited for the RS Version of this beast
Looks absolutely awesome!!! I’m sure there fly out the showrooms. Well done Porsche 👍
Love the classic Porsche design!
I like your reviews of cars!! They are genuine.
The front looks like an Italian man who makes pizza for a living
Err... ok?!

are protesting farmers really farmers or anti indian?
@@georgehaffen4105 they're farmers

Man, that there is a beast !!!
My word that thing looks gorgeous 😍 naturally aspirated and a manual too?!? If only o had more money I’d be straight on the phone, that colour too!
The spec is something shmee would do maybe Porsche did this on purpose
Why I love the gt3 manual and naturally aspirated. This is a gorgeous beast.
Excited for the *GT3 RS* 😍🤙❤️♥️💪
4:06 - _“...it will max out at 199mph”_ *We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close.*
Remove that rear wing you can get that greatness
You literally will never need that speed anyway so it really doesn’t matter.
199 can be rounded up, right? or do on a downhill it will do 200 or pray hard Porsche is understating the performance
Or its because 199 mph is 320 kmh and not 321 kmh. And they like kmh in Germany
111😂kzhead.info/sun/odqYZ6yeoZusp2w/bejne.html😂
I love the design. It's once again a perfect blend between OEM-chique and muscular aggression.
Already placed an order for one with the Club Sport pack.
Will be amazed if you actually succeed in getting a build slot but best of luck anyhow!
Mat you should do an electric car test with the 2021 model cars to see if they have gotten better since the last refresh or not
Matt: Only 199 mph? Why not 200? Also Matt: I've got my cake and ice cream, where's my sprinkles?
This feels like the last huurah for NA Engines before everything starts going electric. We got the GR yaris a rally inspired road car and now this GT3 inspired road car I'm more than happy.
Wrong point it's not that N.A engines are rare because everything starts electric, it's because supercars are going turbo and N.A supercar are very rare. There is no connection for the GR Yaris with this GT3.
@@esthermezhu9297 but at the same time porsche just showed that supercar performance is achievable with NA
Parts of it look retro. That is AWESOME!!

Aftermarket exhaust takes care of that. Catless xpipe setup with tune will be perfect.
You can blame the EEC for their recent noise and emission regulations. The problem with modifying is that you will then loose the Porsche 3 year manufacturers warranty and be on your own. Porsche tell me even changing the exhaust is a definite no no !

Porsches are incredible but lamborghinis look and sound better, and in a lot of cases, perform better too.
@@LegendInThaMakin I think that on average, a Porsche performs better than a Lamborghini on a track, since Porsche makes many of their cars specifically to destroy on a track.
@@LegendInThaMakin Porsches look classy, lambo is rather futuristic, for people who need attention. Engineering in Porsche is superior to Lambo. Sound is debatable.
