The 4.0-litre engine is one of just two from the German car maker not to feature forced induction or a hybrid element
The Porsche 911 GT3’s 503bhp naturally aspirated flat six has only around two years left on sale without being turbocharged or electrified, according to Porsche GT boss Andreas Preuninger. The 4.0-litre engine has powered the GT3 since the ‘991.2’ generation of 2018 and is also fitted in the 911 S/T, 911 GT3 RS, 718 Cayman GT4 RS and 718 Spyder RS, in different tunes. It is one of just two Porsche engines not to feature forced induction or a hybrid element. The other is the closely related 4.
However, Preuninger suggested the two cars have different use cases that require different powertrains. He said: “For the GTS, this is a great . In straight-line performance, it’s as fast as a GT3 and maybe even quicker off the line. “But I couldn’t care less: for a GT3, a straight is the connection between two curves. “The system itself is the right approach to put electrification in a sports car, but there’s a reason we don’t use that on a GT3.
