Porsche has unveiled a more improved 911 GT3 R for use in the 2026 race season. Already known for over 500 race starts and 420 podium finishes, the engine and core platform remain, but the updates focus on better aerodynamics, suspension balance, drivability, and endurance performance for racing teams.
Key updates include front-arch “louvre” vents to reduce pitch sensitivity under braking, finer suspension geometry front and rear for more even load distribution, and a new Gurney flap on the swan-neck rear wing for more balanced airflow. Also added are a better cooling system for the power steering and drive shafts, ceramic wheel bearings for durability, and a more comfortable cockpit for long races. There is an additional air vent and swappable USB data logger for more practical use in endurance racing.
Porsche will offer an update kit for the current 992-generation GT3 R priced at around ₱2.8 million from €41,500 (₱2,800,000) to convert the old unit to the new specs. In its first competition at the 12H Spa-Francorchamps, it finished in second place, proof of its potential.
Many previously optional packages such as sensor and camera kits will become standard on the new model, ensuring that the 2026 911 GT3 R is ready for any type of competition and versatile for teams.
