911 GT3 Cup (Type 992)

All for one. One for all.

One thing matters to us above all in motorsport and that is our team. We drive together. We win together. Certainly the race car, drivers, and lap times are crucial, but we know it is the teamwork that makes us triumph. We are driven to face every challenge as a group in order to achieve our goals. In every racing series, in every race, on every track around the world “it takes a team to achieve a dream.”
After more than seven decades in motorsport, we know that dreams are achieved in teams. No matter if it is 24-hour race or in a Porsche one-make series round, Dream Spirit is always the key to success. With the new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, a new team member is standing by for our customer racing teams, our motorsport fans and for everyone who loves sports cars.

We call the race tracks of the world our home.

The race track is where the sense of team spirit can be truly felt. For the first time, the new race car is being delivered in GT Silver Metallic. A colour, which on the one hand emphasises the sportiness and on the other hand has historical significance in motorsport.
Those who take a closer look at the communication design of the new 911 GT3 Cup will notice a myriad of race tracks running across this silver-coloured vehicle. These indicate where the 911 GT3 Cup will be taking to the grid in its inaugural season. Another design highlight is the stripe running across the race car. Already a feature of the 911 RSR, this line represents a red thread, or blue in the case of the 911 GT3 Cup, that has long run through the timeless design of the 911 family.

We live our dream, as a team.

The new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car is based on the eighth generation of the Porsche 911 (992) and impresses with its versatility. The 992 is made for young, ambitious talents beginning their careers, as well as experienced professionals fighting for podium finishes.
With its 4.0-litre 6-cylinder engine with 510 hp and Porsche six-speed sequential dog-type gearbox, the latest Porsche is not only ideal for racing, but also for winning. The interior has been completely ergonomically redesigned, including a large colour display, illuminated controls and a motorsport steering wheel made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic.
The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car is ready to be unleashed on the track.
