Thirty 992 generation 911 GT3 Cup cars earmarked for Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia in 2022
Following the international launch of the new 992 generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car in late December 2020, interest in the latest generation of the world’s top-selling racing car has been very strong in Australia – ahead of its domestic arrival in the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup series in 2022.
As a result, Porsche Cars Australia (PCA) have announced that an initial batch of thirty (30) 992 generation 911 GT3 Cup cars will brought into the country for Porsche drivers and teams. The record number of Porsche 911 GT3 Cup units is the largest of any generation in the premier one-make series’ 17-year history.
In 2021, the 992 generation racer will be campaigned in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and several other Carrera Cup Championships around the globe, including North America for the first time. The spectacularly styled Cup car is the first racing version based on the current 992 generation and the first makes-cup racer of the sports car manufacturer to feature a wide turbo-spec body.
Producing around 375 kW (510 hp), it exceeds the output of its immediate predecessor by 25 horsepower. Moreover, the new GT3 Cup can run on synthetic fuels, which significantly lowers CO2 emissions under racing conditions. The lap times of the completely new Cup 911 should be slashed by a good one per cent, depending on the track layout.
