Performance Specs
This 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 in Viola Purple is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine producing 502 horsepower and 346 lb-ft. of torque. In addition, it revs up to 9,000 RPM and features six independent throttle bodies. The engine is almost identical to the unit found in the track-only 911 GT3 Cup race car.
Furthermore, power goes through the 7-speed PDK transmission to the rear wheels as standard. However, customers are able to spec their cars with a manual transmission as well. Its specs feature a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds and top track speed of 197 mph. Lastly, the 992 GT3 achieved a Nurburgring lap time of 6:59.927 minutes which is 17 seconds faster than the previous GT3.
Lightweight
The front track of the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 in Viola Purple is 1.9 inches wider than the standard 911. Despite the change in size, the new model weighs almost exactly the same as its predecessor. This is possible thanks to a more extensive application of lightweight materials in a 911 GT3 than ever before. For example, the hood, rear wing, and rear spoiler underneath the wing are all made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). Furthermore, lightweight, noise insulated glass on all of the windows aids in reducing weight.
Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics plays a critical role in the performance improvements of the new Viola Purple 2022 Porsche 911 GT3. For instance, the new front fascia includes integrated cooling intakes, an adjustable front lip spoiler, and an adjustable front diffuser that can be set up for track use. Specifically developed side skirts also optimize airflow around the wheels.
However, the most visually striking aerodynamic part is the new rear wing. It is manually adjustable for road and track use. Even in the “normal” position it generates 50 percent more downforce than the old GT3. However, when it is in the performance position, it can generate 150 percent more downforce.
Price
The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 (992 GT3) price starts at $161,100. However, that doesn’t include the $1,350 delivery, processing and handling fee. However, Viola Purple likely costs a lot extra.
