Porsche unveils the new 911 GT4 R

Global GT4 scene is a key pillar of Porsche’s customer motorsport programme

With this new model, Porsche Motorsport is taking its GT4 programme to a new level and specifically expanding its model range in the upper performance bracket. The international GT4 category is one of the fastest-growing segments in global customer motorsport. At the same time, series such as the ADAC GT4 Germany and international equivalents like the GT4 European Series are regarded as a crucial element of the talent pyramid on the path to top-level GT3 racing.

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.

“With the new racing car based on the Porsche 911 GT3, we are taking our successful GT4 programme to a new level. The combination of iconic 911 DNA and the tried-and-tested GT4 concept creates a unique offering in the market,” says Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport. “Our decision to bring the 911 platform into the GT4 category underlines the growing importance of this class in international motorsport. GT4 has evolved from an entry-level segment into a highly competitive, globally relevant racing platform.”
