2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is Faster Than The Company Claims

These times of 0-60 and quarter miles are simply amazing.

Porsche was caught lying! It’s the only acceptable type of lying. High-end German automakers are known for being conservative about performance numbers. However, the 911 GT3’s real-world acceleration is quite impressive. It’s still a track-oriented vehicle with a naturally aspirated engine at the core. Therefore, it doesn’t have Turbo acceleration. Is it?

Carwow Launched the 992-generation GT3, breaking all manufacturer claims about the 0-60 mph speed. Mat Watson managed only a 3.11 second sprint despite the tires being at an insufficient temperature. Maybe “only” isn’t the right word, since Mat Watson ran his first time below the 3.2 second mark that Porsche had quoted for the PDK-equipped car.


For the second sprint, he turned off the traction control. However, the car was unable to produce the 502 horsepower efficiently. The car reached 60 mph in 4.36 seconds. This is a good time for a GT3 badge, but it’s not the fastest.

Thanks to the active electronic aids and warm tires, it’s true that the third time is a charm. It was able to reach 60 mph in just 2.87 seconds, which is more than 0.3 seconds faster than the official specifications sheet. This makes it less than three-tenths slower than the Porsche 911 Turbo S sprint time.

The 911 GT3 completed the quarter-mile in 10.85 seconds. This is quite impressive for a car designed for circuits. Porsche claims that its new track car is faster than its predecessor on the Nurburgring, despite having roughly the same weight and power. The 911 GT3’s aero upgrades and other modifications allow it to accelerate around corners and improve handling.

It is possible to expect a faster RS version in the near future. Porsche will continue to find ways to make it more competitive with the GT3. The RS badge-winning model was actually captured with its sped-up rear wing hidden behind its vented front fenders.
