Overview

  • Porsche has streamlined its customer racing portfolio by dropping the “GT3” suffix from its one-make racer and introducing the new model as the 911 Cup.
  • The 911 Cup’s 4.0-litre flat-six engine now delivers 520 PS—a 10 PS gain—while retaining a 100-hour service interval and using recycled carbon-fibre panels and bio-based resins.
  • The GT3 R Evo features louvre vents in the front arches, a 4 mm Gurney flap, revised suspension kinematics and a fifth-generation Bosch ABS system to sharpen handling.
  • Pricing is set at €269,000 for the 911 Cup and €573,000 for the GT3 R Evo, with retrofit kits for existing 992-generation GT3 R cars available from €41,500.
  • Following the public launch, Porsche is building out its customer support network and preparing global deliveries ahead of the 2026 racing season.
