The new Porsche 911 GT3 engine revs to 9,000 RPM. The 4.0L boxer six-cylinder is naturally aspirated, producing 502 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque. The engine is packed with clever features including individual throttle bodies, two resonance valves, rigid valve train, DLC-coated rocker arms, large-bore cylinders, and a dry sump oil system with seven pickup locations, ensuring proper oil flow under track conditions. The 4.0L has seen numerous updates since its introduction in the 2011 GT3 RS 4.0, and has been used in subsequent 911 GT3 variants since.
The 2022 GT3 has also lapped the Nurburgring in just under seven minutes! Thanks to weight reduction through material selection such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic, titanium engine components, and special glass, the curb weight is kept low. Handling is improved with a new front and rear suspension, completely redesigned from the standard 911. Grip is maximized with Michelin Cup 2 R tires, and significantly increased downforce over the previous GT3.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
As you grow older you just appreciate 911's design more and more.
At the age of 58 I have never owned one, but it has been my favourite car since I was a kid. I bought myself my first non daily driver a couple of years ago and it’s a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport. I’m not a “track guy” or even someone who’s pretends they can drive better than someone else. The thing is, I will buy a GT3 or GT3 RS in the next few years, but unfortunately I won’t be able to buy a new one, because I’m not a part of special list of people who get them.
No lies told
@@pjfan173 nice! just wait about 24 months or maybe 36. they will start popping up , albeit not cheap but atleast you aren't paying some absurd dealer spread brand new. once these posers who buy them realize it's a track monster and have no idea what they are doing and complain about the stiff ride, they will sell haha.
@@ct1762 I joke with my wife that we’ll be the only people in our neihborhood living in a 500K home with. 250K car in the garage LOL
Not Me, it's to complicated. Still love my 993, she maybe no faster than her younger sisters but she's fast enough for me ❤️
The GT3 has been making 500hp since the 997 era and it’s still getting faster. Porsche engineering really understands it doesn’t just take horsepower to go fast, well done!
The Total Package!
I would bet that they are increasing the area under the curve w/o increasing the max too much.
Most of the pace development actually usually comes from better tires which is also the case this time :)
Dubbed, German efficiency
Yep, while American car companies keep trying to just slap ginormous engines into their cars, while adding boosted systems, to have bragging rights as to how fast their cars are. Yet, an 500 Porsche engineered the right way makes their 800+ cars look like Tonka toys..
So Porsche optimized their engine by allowing wifi signals in, got it.
Haha precisely. Gigabit!
@@EngineeringExplained Now the engine itself finally can just download more horsepower! Suck it, Tesla 🤣🤣
@@EngineeringExplained you look like Freedom! Community
dual and wide band valve MIMO optimization
Bluetooth 5.0 just wasn't fast enough. They had to go wifi with certified freqency bands so no one can copy their tech
As a child I would listen to my father go on about Porsche engineering. Now in my 50's, I do the same to my kids. I hope the tradition keeps on. This video jogged my memory back. Thank you.
Cycle of life !!
I absolutely love the fact that I can learn so much for free
Yeah I just think its insane that I can pull up youtube whenever I want and watch whatever I want and learn something new everytime in such an easy and entertaining manner too. Never would've expected this 10 years ago when my entertainment highlight of the day was waiting till 8pm to watch Deal or No Deal every monday night lol
Well, "free," but essentially, yes.
Ya same here I’m a long time subscriber and he inspires me to keep doing youtube
It has to be free cos you need to save $150,000 for that Porsche 911 GT3
Ever been to a library?
The engineers at Porsche truly left no stone unturned in the search for more horsepower without forced induction. They even changed the yellow for red brake calipers!
Subtle joke
@@mihan2d and sad fact
Brake.
@@siler7 thank you! Fixed.
69th like. 😁
As someone who‘s been studying both music and engineering (although the latter for a much shorter time), I must say I get the same chill down the spine when seeing this kind of genius work as I get when listening to Bach. It’s truly inspiring.
and 9000rpm is when the engineering becomes music
These are some of the things that make Porsche so damn incredible, they always go the extra mile on literally everything. They are just geniuses.
deutsche qualität 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
I cant believe back in the day a porsche would more likely to kill u now its one of the best handling sports car out there and without a turbo
Holy crap. The engineering of that intake manifold and valve timing is insane.
Especially 150 times per second!
Imagine if it had Koenigsegg's freevalve technology to operate the valves
Now that would be next level
I, as a german, wonder why the sweetspot wasn't passively designed to that RPM.
Sort of a passive resonancechamber, resonating just correctly at 9000RPM, coinciding with the timing of the rest of the engine.
Or worded differently, why so many active valves that can fail, if your peak performance is at a fixed point anyways.
Hey Will's here, guys check out his solar and battery setups.
I was just watching your video, and now see you here, Will! Nice! :)
I wanna see a Porsche engine with Koenigsegg's free valve tech. That would be black magic!
Seriously
I want to see the Aston Martin Valkyrie with FV tech. I also want to see a super small 3cylinder 1.0L DI turbocharged engine with FV. they could make 300hp efficiently.
Wouldnt really be black magic but rather something that shouldve happened to most gas cars ages ago (controlling every aspect of valves).
I just want to see freevalve everywhere, alongside f1 style hybrid turbos, and mild hybrid starter/alternator/motor, and other technologies to come. Theres so much room to see the combustion engine evolve, and I'm anxious to see it happen.
@@gummostump4217 agreed. We’d see efficiencies aka performance increase along with better mpg. I mean let’s be real the “green” movement is real but we need to get there first.
Love Porche's dedication to maximizing the existing fundamentals rather than moving to bigger displacement. Great explanation to simplify the "magic" at work.
Same is the case with R35 GTR. It's being perfected from 10yrs now. Its a equal masterpiece as 911
@@uvuvwevwevweossaswithglasses lmao no its not. Overpriced shitbox
Just buy *any* naturally aspirated 911. Almost 7 years with mine and absolutely no regrets. Still need another S2000 though. 🤤

@@keithjackson4985 @Keith Jackson You're a hero for working on the frontline and savig lives as a nurse! I promise to stay safe and follow all precautions:)
Porsche: THROTTLE ALL THE THINGS!
Manufacturer: how many throttle bodies are there?
Porsche engineers: yes
You’re on to something there.
Me: *absolutely clueless about everything you said*
Also me: Wow that's very impressive.
Solid lifters that never need adjusting is spectacular. That would be an improvement to basically every performance engine from any manufacturer.
"designed to last the life of an engine."
Nothing good ever came with this sentence!
What could you possibly be IMS talking about?
fun fact, any engine component will last the life of the engine.
just like the M96/97 IMS bearing was designed to last the life of the engine too. they fail to mention that when the bearing failed, so did the engine.
The reason valve clearances become out of spec on engines without hydraulic tappets is because of the wear on the valve seat and valve face, not just wear on the rocker arms. DLC on the rocker arms isn't going to remedy the eventual valve lash problems.
@@paulblair898 Yes indeed. Valve clearances get tighter not looser as they wear.
Can't wait to get them on camera this season!
Me too
Hope they don't crash too much... although it would make for good content
Do a "saved" compilation or a will u save or crash the car kinda vid
God willing hopefully u do
Porsche will never surrender their iconic ICE engine for electric. Been polishing this diamond for over 50 years. They're all in.
They already built the replacement. The future is coming fast. Some of it is already here.
@@jamesmedina2062 you don’t know Porsche. They can make that flat 6 do anything at will. Without it they are not Porsche. Their principles may be difficult for you to understand.
@@lawrencefearon6830 no mate I am not touching on engine characteristics but future fuel sources. In our lifetime it might not matter but in 2100 it probably will.
Porsche is not about a specific engine, it's about the iconic form and pleasure to drive. The Taycan fits that perfectly.
Porsche’s fuel development budget: 20 million
VW’s electrification budget: 90 billion
ICE is over.
German engineering at its best. And I love the fact that they listend to the Fans and offered a Manual again as well as making the Car N/A.
I never knew about the pressure waves in the intake, and the engineers at Porsche are geniuses for getting all the the timing correct to utilize them, not to mention the software engineering required to get all those throttle bodies to work in sync. That's incredible engineering.
I'm guessing this is where the magic happens. Years ago, I did my degree in real-time systems engineering. One of the limitations was that's often sense/sample, process, act, repeat. Even with state-of-the art DSPs, the costs were very high, and performance limited. Now the silicon's improved, so have sensors so modern engine management systems have a lot more 'horsepower' to do complex computing @9000rpm. Personally, I think one of the most fun technology innovations driven by extra compute power is the ability to have multiple driving modes that remap the engine management depending on whether you want economy, or power.
@@brolohalflemming7042 I'm doing a systems engineering module as part of my engineering degree right now and it's the coolest stuff. I might go into this profession when I graduate
@@supermadkid Good luck! I use an example with kids to get them interested in computing and systems engineering. Simple question, just place their phones on the table. Then make them move without touching them. Sure, they could stick to just writing apps for their phones, but apps that interface to the real world and interact with it can be far more fun. It's just a shame that phone makers try to limit the I/O potential of 'smart' phones.
@@brolohalflemming7042 wow that's interesting to think about!
And thanks!
@@brolohalflemming7042 'm happy they do so... just imagine what my kids would do to the front door lock or to themself in my car with theyr smartphones. wait a minute... *rushestowardsthekidstotallyterrified*
I agree, they set the benchmark for production NA perfection. Not many companies can claim the same efficiencies and maintain a stellar warranty.
And crazy good reliability even when you do a lot of trackdays.
It's amazing what you can build when you're selling cars at the $150k price point.
Exactly. Performance engineering combined with reliability is the real special sauce. I wonder how many times the Hennessy Venom will even start before needing repairs?
458 speciale, 10 year warranty too I think
And you can tell your wife: “Honey, I’m bringing home a diamond for Christmas!”. /s
It's nice to see the manual transmission in a sport car
"Who am I kidding? I daily an electric car because I'm a loser" 😂😂😂
I feel obligated to mention the following: "It's over 9,000!"
It’s a crotch rocket w 4 wheels
It's not over 9000 though? Isn't the limiter at 9000?
Noel?
*at 9,000!

This is such a quality channel. Thank you for making these videos man. No click bait nonsense, no fake thumbnails, just pure unbiased information for car enthusiasts. Love it.
I knew the GT3 was insane, now I know just how insane it really is! Thank you for making such amazingly informative videos!
Same color and 4 tires just like the crosstrek
Boxer engine too, basically the same car.
It's a crosstrek knockoff
Coincidence? I think not.
@@Parabloop3r its a clear knock off.
I think he also confused the laptimes
I like how he does in depth analysis of cars as compared to car reviews which are all the same. 👍🏻
Just the right amount of tension in your voice.
Wish I knew half as much automotive engineering as you.
The best explanation of BMEP I have ever heard! Great Video! So amazing how fast a car can go around a track with the engine mounted so far back!
I'd love for any Porsche flat-six to be the soundtrack to my life.
Even more than the LFA V10 ?
@minihasahead hey, that's not fair!! They're both too good for this world 😉
Once in a while there’s one of those scary moments...like absentmindedly turning on sports exhaust, during a cold start, while still in the garage. 🤯🤕🤣
If you're considering a 996 911 or a 986 Boxster, don't. It'll be a disappointing Porsche, the M96 engine is frankly a terrible design. The 981 Boxster and Cayman are dropping down pretty fast, and if you find an S model with a manual you're golden. The only modifications they need is a complete, engine back exhaust system, a remap, and all those will push nearly 375 hp at the crankshaft, which is exactly the amount of power you want for the public roads. And it will sound incredible.
I will take the sound of 3rd gear at 70mph of my 86 carrera to my deathbed...unreal
Great video!! What an amazing machine 😍
What GREAT ENGINEERING, ALSO. 6 separate TB'S, NICE.

Love the self-derision, and, accessorily, your explanations ;)
(awesome video, as always)
The last clip of the Porsche accelerating was soo good
Same here: On track drove a McLaren 540C and a GT3 RS and the Porsche was soooo much better...
It really has a lot to do with engine placement. You can dive DEEP into the corner even when compared to MR platforms.
@@RaddestDad yeah, but then it also matters on other factors like trail-braking. The mclarens are known for being able to brake into the corner rotating and then bring able to get back on the throttle with it able to leave at a higher exit speed.
SIX SPEED MANUAL YESSSSS THANK YOU PORSCHE!!!!
Love that you let us hear the sounds
"of course, there's no grip without tires" - proceeds to show tires getting air at 12:26 - classic!
I'd love to see more deep dives like this on other high performance naturally aspirated engines, The 5.2L Audi V10 and 3.2L BMW S54 I6 come to mind. Awesome content as always!
Oh, this reminds me of adjusting valve shims on my e46 M3. Still have them in my garage.
Brilliant explanation and illustrations. Thanks for sharing! 👍
German engineers: What can we do to make the most complicated engine ever ? hmmm.
Oh oh I know... lets put 9 throttle bodies on a 6 cylinder !
Volvo engineers, with their supercharged AND turbocharged four-bangers: "Håll min brännvin."
BMW : Let's quad turbo a 6 cylinder.
@@thatcopenguy Thats nothing
BMW: Lets run the front drive shaft of our AWD car through the engine block of the twin turbo V8
Bugatti: let's quad turbo two VR8s and have them share one crankshaft
@@raganwald Volkswagen has also built twincharged I4s, but there's just something special about NA engines, i don't even know why but they're just magical
0:23 The Carnot Engine of course!
Rover did this in the 90s with their KV6 engine. It feels amazing when that torque bump kicks in at 3000rpm.
That is insane engineering explained !
I love that the GT3 in that video ( and the crosstrek of course) are the right color. Blue is always the right color.
imo, any NA engine that makes over 90hp per liter is very impressive.

this is the best engine ever, so awesome
Try the gemera engine, EE has made a video about that engine too
Excellent explanation.....and that boxer note at the last second of the video... Made my day

great movie and car
I became one in 1963 when a woman at my mom’s funeral asked me how I liked our Porsche. We had a Karmann Ghia. I asked my father what they were and he said it looked kinda like a VW. Then one night I saw a dark blue 356B get in front of me and really hit it as the car went down the Atlanta hill where the Soapbox Derby used to be held. It had a beautiful sound and I’ve been hooked ever since.
pound-feet per litre made my head hurt
Haha same. Use litre and nm or both imperial.
im 6 feet 5 cm tall

As usual very good review with very exciting engineering insights :) Keep up your excellent work!
Excellent video Jason!!
Fun fact: I got an A on my car mechanic test because of him teaching stuffs about how cars work! So congrats Engineering Explained for giving me an A

You change my dream car every video.
as a GT3 (2018) owner I can vouch for the absolute greatness of these cars. You can daily drive it or give it a darn good thrashing around a track. Also great for road trips. great post.

Thanks, "Yayson" - very interesting. Hadn't thought about pulse waves equating to forced induction.
i remember my first time driving a gt3 - its a whole new level of experience. coutning down the days until i own my own
It's amazing. The _only_ thing that makes me sad about this car is that there's still no mis-shift protection for the manual. In a car that's obviously intended for the track, that seems like a huge missed opportunity. When you're pulling significant Gs and trying to shift as fast as possible, mis-shifts are a possibility; you can be as careful as you want, but the risk is there that you'll have one eventually-and in a GT3, that'd be tragic. There could be an electro-mechanical lockout of lower gears when the current wheel speed would put the car over redline in that gear. The added cost wouldn't be worth it for your average econobox, but for a manual GT3 that's designed for the track, well, it's something I'd really like to see.
The GT3 engine has been a masterpiece for many years now
This is an awesome video, thank you so much. And congrats on 3m subscribers ;) Is this the peak of 911 ICE performance? Will there ever be a better ICE 911, or is it all electric from now on?
Great vid as always!
The manual is BACK BABY! Thank you for telling me of this 5th dimension type power. I’m going to go lick glass and get Co poisoning trying to balance my six carburetors. Oh the 50 years of change! PORSCHE there is no substitute.
One of the best sounding engines I've ever heard
In my top 10. The first 3 spots all the LFA
I wanted one when it first came out, I want one even more now!
Same here, growing up the 360 and F430 were my dream cars. Now they’re within budget, but now I want the GT3. I liked the looks of last gen GT3 more but newest is well engineered and if you’re going to buy one, might as well get the new one with the driving school/track time
Jason: the new gt3 engine is great

They boosted the intake pressure by syncing the valves with the sound waves in the engine...that's pretty impressive.
It's been done before, but never to that degree.
