2026 PORSCHE 911 GT3 (992.2) PDK WEISSACH PACKAGE — JAPANESE DOMESTIC SPECIFICATION

Engine and Drivetrain

The 992.2 GT3 carries the 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, water-cooled and mounted behind the rear axle, displacing 3,996 cc on a 13.3:1 compression ratio with direct petrol injection. Rated output is 510 PS (375 kW) at 8,500 rpm with 450 Nm at 6,250 rpm, and the unit runs to a 9,000 rpm cut. Drive reaches the rear wheels alone through a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission with a GT-specific shorter final drive, and a fully variable electronic rear differential lock works alongside Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus. The car requires premium unleaded petrol and carries a 64-litre tank.

Chassis, Steering and Brakes

Suspension is double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear on GT-specific ball-joint mounts, controlled by Porsche Active Suspension Management with a track-biased damper calibration. Rear-axle steering is fitted as standard and turns the rear wheels against or with the fronts depending on road speed. The Weissach Package substitutes carbon-fibre for the rear anti-roll bar and its coupling rods and adds a carbon-fibre rear-axle underbody shear panel, raising torsional stiffness while cutting unsprung and sprung mass. Wheels are centre-lock forged alloys, 20-inch at the front and 21-inch at the rear, carrying 255/35 ZR20 and 315/30 ZR21 tyres. Braking is by internally vented and cross-drilled discs with fixed monobloc aluminium calipers and Porsche Stability Management.

Dimensions and Capacities

Japanese registration figures for this body are 4,570 mm long, 1,852 mm wide and 1,279 mm tall on a 2,457 mm wheelbase, with a registered kerb weight of 1,479 kg. The front luggage compartment holds 132 litres. Seating is a strict two, the rear bench being deleted on the GT3.

Exterior

The car is finished in white with black bonnet and roof stripe graphics and privacy glass. Weissach Package exterior content comprises a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic front lid, a CFRP roof panel, exposed high-gloss carbon-fibre rear wing sideplates, carbon-fibre exterior mirror upper shells and mirror triangle trims, and carbon-fibre front fascia airblades. The fixed swan-neck rear wing, GT3 front apron and rear diffuser form the aerodynamic package, and lighting is by HD-Matrix LED headlights. The sports exhaust exits through two centrally mounted tailpipes.

Interior and Seating

The cabin is trimmed in Race-Tex with leather, including a black Race-Tex upper dashboard carrying the Weissach Package logo on the passenger side. The car is fitted with lightweight full bucket seats in Race-Tex, a GT sports steering wheel with the integrated drive-mode selector, carbon-fibre interior trim elements and lightweight door panels using pull-strap grab handles in place of conventional pulls. Aluminium GT3 door sill guards are fitted. Climate control is automatic.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Porsche Communication Management drives a central touchscreen with memory-based navigation, Bluetooth audio and smartphone connectivity including Apple CarPlay. The instrument binnacle is a digital display with GT-specific track layouts including a shift-light readout and a live power-output graph. A Japanese ETC toll transponder is fitted, along with a dash camera. The Chrono Package adds the dashboard-top analogue stopwatch and unlocks the Porsche Track Precision smartphone application for lap timing and telemetry.

Driver Assistance and Safety

The car carries Porsche Stability Management, anti-lock braking with brake assist, autonomous emergency braking, cruise control, front and rear obstacle sensors and a reversing camera with ParkAssist guidance. Tyre pressure monitoring is standard. Restraint systems comprise driver and front passenger airbags, curtain airbags and pretensioned, force-limiting belts, mounted in a high-strength aluminium-steel composite bodyshell with carbon-fibre reinforcement in the Weissach specification.

Performance

Porsche quotes 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds for the PDK car and a top speed of 311 km/h. The front axle lift system raises the nose to clear kerbs and ramps and returns automatically at speed. The Weissach Package is quoted by Porsche as saving up to 22 kg against a comparably equipped standard GT3.
