The Porsche 911 GT3 R brought victory to the 2025 DTM Championship. In the final round at Hockenheim, Turkish driver Ayhancan Guven took home the drivers’ title while Manthey EMA took the manufacturers’ crown with the 911 GT3 R. This showed the Porsche’s racing prowess and how it can go straight to the road cars.
The 911 GT3 has a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine with 510 hp and 450 Nm of torque, which can rev up to 9,000 rpm. It has a racecar-style double-wishbone front axle, a swan-neck rear wing, and a diffuser that provide strength and balance — technologies also carried over from the DTM-winning 911 GT3 R.
For even more extreme performance, there's the 911 GT3 RS. Both have a 4.0-liter flat-six engine that can produce 525 hp and 465 Nm of torque. Added to this are extreme aerodynamics such as an active rear wing with Drag Reduction System (DRS), a fully vented front end, and a special chassis for high-speed track use.
Thanks to these features, the 911 GT3 RS generates up to 860 kg of downforce — double that of its predecessor. It also uses carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), center-lock wheels, and a wider track for a true performance focus.
From the racetrack to the road, the 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 RS prove that Porsche's success in motorsports translates into real power and speed that can be experienced in the Philippines.
