The Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is expanding its customer motorsport portfolio with the new 911 GT4 R. For the first time, a car designed for global GT4 racing is based on the 911 platform. The racing car is powered by a 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine delivering up to 382 kW (520 PS). It will make its racing debut in the 2027 motorsport season.
The new 911 GT4 R builds on the technical foundation of the current Cup version, which is based on the road-legal 911 GT3 of the 992.2 generation. Compared with the previous Clubsport models based on the 718 Cayman, it offers a more powerful engine, wider track widths and further-developed motorsport electronics. These factors improve lap times, drivability and stability in racing conditions in particular.
The high-revving 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine is based on the unit used in the 911 GT3 and delivers up to 382 kW (520 PS) in the racing version. Maximum torque is up to 470 Newton metres (Nm). As is standard under GT4 regulations, these performance figures vary depending on the Balance of Performance (BoP) classification. For example, the 911 GT4 R is delivered ex-works with air flow restrictors (53.7 millimetres), which reduce power to 316 kW (430 PS). Power is transmitted via a sequential six-speed dog-gearbox with steering-wheel paddle shifters and a four-disc racing clutch.
