This means that the freshly revealed 992.2 GT3 only has two years left before retiring its 9,000-rpm naturally aspirated screamer
The Porsche 911 GT3’s raw, high-revving naturally-aspirated flat-six will be killed off by emissions rules in 2026. Incoming Euro 7 regulations will reportedly make it virtually impossible for the GT3 to continue without hybrid or turbo tech. Porsche GT boss Andreas Preuninger claims the new 911 GTS’s hybrid pack isn’t suitable for the GT3. The 4.0-liter, naturally-aspirated flat-six in the 911 GT3 is one of the world’s greatest engines, but we better enjoy it while we can.
“We would have had to use the PDK II – the gearbox we have in the standard Carrera, which is more than 20 kg heavier than our ‘Sport’ PDK.” Preuninger’s team has already been forced to turn down the 4.0-liter’s wick a little for the facelifted 992.2 GT3 revealed earlier this month. Although the engine makes the same 503 hp as before and still winds to 9,000 rpm, torque is down fractionally from 346 lb-ft of torque to 331 lb-ft .
