Porsche has unveiled the latest generation of the world's top-selling racing car : 

The New Porsche 911 cup : 

992 GT3 CUP

From the start of the 2021 season, 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 new 992 will make its Australian debut in Porsche PAYCE Carrera Cup in 2022.

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 PS* (horsepower), 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.

Porsche presented the very first 911 Cup car in 1990. It was based on the 964 generation and headed into its debut season in the German Porsche Carrera Cup with 260 hp. 

From 1993, it was also raced in the newly established Porsche Supercup, which ran as part of the Formula 1 support programme. 

Over the next years, five more generations of this exceptionally successful racing vehicle followed - of which to date a record number of 4,251 units have been produced.

"The new 911 GT3 Cup will shape the face of our customer sport commitment around the world."Michael Dreiser, Director Sales Porsche Motorsport

"The 911 made history as the baseline model for the Carrera Cups and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup - no other racing car has found as many satisfied customers since 1990 as the 911," states Michael Dreiser, Director Sales Porsche Motorsport. 

"The new 911 GT3 Cup now starts a new chapter. Our goal is to pass the 5,000 mark in production over the coming years. Like its ancestral lineage, this model will also assist a whole new generation of talented racing drivers on their path to professional motorsport and shape the face of our customer sport commitment around the world."

The groundwork for the latest model was laid in 2018. Concrete development began in early 2019. 

The main development goals of the team led by project manager Jan Feldmann were to further improve performance, achieve a more aggressive design, easier handling and greater durability with less outlay in terms of time and maintenance. The result is reflected in many aspects of the new racing vehicle, which, like its predecessor, rolls off the production line in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen alongside the 911 production models.

"With its improved performance and the optimised cockpit, the new 911 GT3 Cup is the best Cup car that Porsche has ever built." "Jan Feldmann, project manager 911 GT3 Cup

"We wanted to position the new 911 GT3 Cup even more as a professional racing car, while also making it more cost-effective for the teams to run," explains Feldmann. 

"We were particularly successful in achieving this thanks to its striking appearance, the improved suspension and intelligent solutions for electrical details. The handling of the new 911 GT3 Cup is noticeably more precise and even more fun. With its improved performance and the optimised cockpit, it's the best Cup car that Porsche has ever built."

New 911 GT3 Cup impresses with optimised aerodynamics


One of the most striking features of the new 911 GT3 Cup is its optimised aerodynamics and the overall more muscular appearance - it looks even more impressive at first glance. 

This is partly thanks to the wide turbo-spec lightweight body that is being used for the first time in the Cup car. 

Measuring a total of 1,902 millimetres in width, it exceeds the rear width of the previous model by 28 millimetres and is distinguished by its additional cooling air inlets in front of the wheels.

Furthermore, the front axle of the 992 generation of the 911 is also significantly broader. 

Thanks to additional flared fenders, the new 911 GT3 Cup now measures as much as 1,920 millimetres at the front axle. 

This opens the door for a harmonious wheel-tyre combination with 12-inch wide rims on the front and 13-inch wheels at the rear axle. 

This is typical for GT racing and has a positive effect on the handling and driveability of the racing car.

At the same time, the seventh generation of the Cup racer generates noticeably more aerodynamic downforce. 

This is thanks to the combination of the rear spoiler with the larger rear wing and front apron, which was specifically adapted to racing by means of a front lip spoiler and strategically-positioned separation edges. 

The eleven-stage adjustable rear wing with a 'swan neck' mounting ensures uninterrupted under-wing airflow. 

This improved aerodynamic efficiency also ensures more stable handling, especially in fast corners.

The body of the 991.2 generation Cup car consisted of 70 per cent steel and 30 per cent aluminium. The ratio in the successor has been switched. 

The fact that the vehicle still weighs around 35 kilograms more with a dry weight of 1,260 kilograms is due, for example, to extra struts being added to the steel safety cell. 

The removable escape hatch in the roof complies with the latest FIA standards. 

All windows in the GT3 Cup are made of lightweight polycarbonate and have scratch-resistant hard-coat glazing. The doors, engine hood and rear wing are made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic. 

In contrast, the front hood with its distinctive exit-air duct and central air intake is a prime example of the intelligent use of materials: Like in the 911 Carrera, it is made of aluminium - which lowers repair costs in the case of an accident.

The designers put a lot of thought into the ergonomics specifically for the drivers. In addition to the incline, the new racing seat can now be adjusted in two height settings. 

In conjunction with the adjustable steering column, this ensures an ideal fit for every driver stature. 

A range of padding thicknesses allows the seats to be adapted to the needs of individual drivers. 

The redesigned, open-top, motorsport multifunction steering wheel made of carbon-fibre is yet another development adopted from the 911 GT3 R. Following drivers' feedback, its illuminated buttons have been rearranged.

Control element of the 919 Hybrid integrated in the new 911 GT3 Cup


The so-called Rubber Switch Panel (RSP) with its ten large buttons on the right is reminiscent of a control element in the Porsche 919 Hybrid. 

These buttons are easy to use, even in the heat of the race and are given designated central functions such as lighting and ventilation or to change tyre settings from dry to wet tyres. 

One example of a clever enhancement to details is the adjustment of brake balance: Now, it can be intuitively controlled via a rotary knob switch on the outside right of the RSP in or against the direction of travel - depending on whether the front axle needs more or less brake pressure.

The designers have revamped the centrally-positioned, 10.3-inch colour monitor. 

The screen prioritises the display of key data and information for the driver while racing. 

Displayed alongside the engine revs are water and oil temperatures, the gear currently engaged and error messages or information on important baseline settings, such as "wet" for racing in rain. 

After the readout of the data, the design of both the display and the computer monitors are aligned so that the driver and race engineer see the same information. 

This helps with analyses after each session. 

The electronics are designed to be user-friendly for easier error analyses and specific help in problem-solving. 

Around 700 diagnostic options are available. 

Specific software summarises all information more clearly and comprehensibly. 

Optional vehicle functions such as ABS or traction control are already stored in the system. They can be activated via a digital code. 

In the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and in most national Carrera Cups, these driving aids are switched off: in these championships, the talent of the drivers alone is what counts

Another example of subtle, sophisticated solutions in the new 911 GT3 Cup can be seen in the arrangement of the electronic components: Motorsport control units and data loggers have been relocated from the passenger footwell to the right rear compartment

As a result, they no longer hinder the installation of a second seat, for instance when 'racing taxi drives' are required.

The chassis of the Cup 911 offers the finest racing technology


While the rear axle essentially remains unchanged compared to the production model, the front wheels are now controlled by double wishbones and Uniball bearings - like in the 911 RSR, Porsche's current top racing model.

 Through this, the dampers are no longer exposed to lateral forces, only axial forces. 

This ensures more precise turn-in behaviour and gives a better feeling for the front axle. 

The shock absorbers have also inherited the cutting-edge valve technology from the 919 Hybrid and 911 RSR. 

Fully electro-mechanical power steering has been introduced into the 911 GT3 Cup for the first time. 

This means that the hydraulic pump and associated hydraulic lines are no longer needed.

In terms of the engine, the 911 GT3 Cup remains true to the naturally aspirated principle. 

In the racing version, the four-litre, water-cooled flat-six engine develops 375 kW (510 hp). 

Its high-revving unit with dry-sump lubrication reaches top performance at 8,400 rpm - up from the previous 7,500 rpm. 

It redlines at 8,750 rpm with maximum torque of 470 Newton metres at 6,150 rpm. 

A single throttle butterfly system with two resonance flaps ensures an even more spontaneous response, and in conjunction with the catalytic converter racing exhaust system, produces an awe-inspiring sound. 

Three different exhaust systems are available to choose from - depending on the racing series, the regulations and the racetrack. 

Bosch supplies the MS 6.6 electronic engine management system.

Like with its immediate predecessor, the six-cylinder only needs a maintenance check after 100 hours of track time

The engine is connected to the sequential, 72-kilogram six-speed dog-type gearbox via a single-mass flywheel and a three-plate sintered metal racing clutch. 

Gear changes are made via a paddle shift on the steering wheel, with a "minor inspection" of the gearbox needed after 60 hours of racing - which corresponds to roughly two years in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup

A major overhaul is due after 120 hours of racing

The shift barrel actuator is operated by an electric servo-motor, replacing the previous pneumatic unit. 

The advantage: even faster gear changes, the option of live diagnoses and a lowered risk of damage, for example in the event of gearshift errors.

The special attention given to detailed improvements is reflected in the 911 GT3 Cup in many other optimisations :

  • Every Cup car from Porsche Motorsport is now delivered with a complete accessory kit, which includes, for example, all special tools and wishbone spacers required for track adjustment. Hence, the ex-works 911 GT3 Cup is ready to race without customer teams having to order these parts individually.
  • In the new model generation, the water radiators remain directly behind the front apron. This positioning was deliberately retained: the risk of damaging the radiators prevents an overly aggressive driving style. At the same time, the placing of a strut ensures that minor nudges go unpunished.
  • Special brake callipers now enable the brake pads to be changed faster.
  • The drive shafts of the rear axle now have a special, more durable motor racing design.
  • Textile loops have been reintroduced as attachment points for tow ropes. These replace the previously used steel swivel tow hooks.
  • A new central nozzle for the fire extinguishing system improves the distribution of the extinguishing agent inside the cockpit.
  • The new positioning of the release unit makes it easier for scrutineers to check from the outside whether the fire extinguisher is working correctly.
  • Adapted safety quick releases for the inside door openers improve the ergonomics when exiting the cockpit as well as safety in the event of an emergency.
  • The onboard electrical system functions without actual plug fuses. This reduces the amount of materials used in the wiring harness and saves weight. The redesign is easier to access thanks to its central positioning.
  • Should the engine stall at the start of the race, the hazard warning lights switch on automatically to warn other competitors of the danger. 
  • PorscheCupExperience is at your disposal for any order of new 911 GT3 CUP, maintenance and race assistance.

                 Porsche 911 GT3 R 2019

550hp to Race !

Seen on several circuits as part of tests and races is several series by Porsche, the new 911 GT3R version 2019 has just been released from the manufacturer Porsche.

Intended for customer competition, this new GT3 replaces the old generation to continue to offer a full range to teams, from the Cayman GT4 to the 911 GT3 Cup to the ultimate Porsche 911 RSR at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.


The new Porsche 911 GT3 R has start its career in 2019, and will be eligible in all championships that use the GT3 regulations.

For this 2019 vintage of the Porsche 911 R, we find 550 hp with, of course, an atmospheric flat 6 engine with 4 liters of displacement.


Power is transferred only to the rear, with a 6-speed sequential gearbox. 

Proof of the strong links that exist between racing on the circuit and certain road models, there are many mechanical elements shared with the 911 GT3 RS.


Thus, the direct injection system, but also the variable settings of the valve timing of the intake and exhaust camshafts are common with the production 911 GT3 RS, already extreme, it must be admitted (see the technical sheet of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS type 991).

Porsche indicates that the engine of this 2019 911 GT3 R is easier to handle, and notably offers a greater operating range in revs.

When starting, just like when changing gears, there is no need to look for the clutch pedal.

The steering wheel sequential gear system is associated with an electro-hydraulically controlled clutch.


The 2019 911 GT3 R, is a racehorse

Aesthetically, again, the links with the 911 GT3 RS that we discovered at the Geneva Motor Show are clear.

The aerodynamics are however largely optimized, and it is a complete racing car that we discover, in particular through the use of composite materials for certain elements of the bodywork or even polycarbonate for the windows.

If you still had any doubts about the beauty's bestial character, the 1.9m long and 40cm wide rear wing is here to remind you that the 911 GT3 R is designed to swallow the miles at very, very very lively.

Porsche thinks about power, style ... and also brings innovations in terms of safety and practicality.

Example with the possibility of refueling on the left or the right of the car!

An excellent idea to optimize the time needed during a pit stop to fill the 120-liter tank, and to facilitate the work of the mechanics.


Another innovation in the subject of security, the possibility of quickly removing doors and windows, in particular for a rapid intervention.


The steering position is also optimized, thanks in particular to customer feedback.

The seat, fixed at 6 points, allows you to adjust the center of gravity perfectly.

A safety element, placed in the driver's door, provides protection in the event of a side impact.

It is a kevlar, aluminum and carbon structure, designed to absorb energy in the event of an impact.

On board, the cockpit makes you want to go through the loops of the Nürburgring or to attack the straight line of the Mistral. 

The alignment of some controls has been revised, and air conditioning is introduced.


In fact, the 911 GT3 R was until now without any air conditioning system, which could cause the temperature of the passenger compartment to rise very, very high in sunny weather conditions.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport

reserved exclusively for the track

The 911 GT2 RS Clubsport will be produced in a limited edition of 200 and will be exclusively intended for the track and certain car competitions, some of which are at international level.

"We are currently having very productive discussions with the organizer of the SRO race",

said Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President of Motorsport and GT Cars.

A model derived from the production 911 GT2 RS

This GT2RS Clubsport was designed on the basis of the production 911 GT2 RS, just like the 935 unveiled by Porsche a few weeks ago. The two sports cars share the same engine as their legal parents: a state-of-the-art 3.8l, 700hp six-cylinder flat engine.

Power from the rear engine is transferred via a seven-speed Porsche Dual Clutch Transmission (PDK) rigidly mounted to the 310-millimeter-wide rear wheels.

911 GT2 RS Clubsport:             specific preparation for racing

As in all other racing versions of the 911, the driver changes gears via ergonomic shift paddles located on the steering wheel.

Positioning the motor behind the rear axle guarantees excellent traction and braking performance.

Six-piston aluminum monoblock racing calipers on the front axle, combined with grooved, internally ventilated steel brake discs with a diameter of 390 millimeters, provide excellent deceleration values ​​on the front axle. 

The rear axle is fitted with four-piston calipers and 380-millimeter discs.

Clubsport version with a weight/power ratio dropping below 2kg/hp

Like the legally homologated 911 GT2 RS, the Clubsport version sees its weight reduced by 80 kg to pass under 1400 kg with 1390 kg and have an impressive weight / power ratio of 1.98 kg / hp.

The 911 GT2 RS Clubsport is equipped with the PSM (Porsche Stability Management) system including traction control as well as an anti-lock braking system (ABS).

Thanks to a switch in the center console, these assistance systems can be adjusted separately or completely deactivated, depending on the driving situation.

The carbon steering wheel and the color display behind it were borrowed from the 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 R.

A massive safety cage combined with a racing bucket seat and six-point safety harness ensure maximum safety.

Air conditioning provides optimum cooling of the interior.

Happy will be the future owners of this racehorse! The trail is theirs!

PorscheCupExperience is fortunate to be able to deliver some off them to you.......

911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25

What distinguishes our partnership? 

Success on the racetrack. 

Records for the history books. 

Now also a very special racing car: 

the new 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 is a special model on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Manthey-Racing GmbH. 

Our partner on and off the racetrack. 

The racing car is limited to 30 copies. 

It was developed in close cooperation between Porsche Motorsport and Manthey for track day and circuit use.


origin

Our inspiration? 25 years of success on the world's circuits. 

And yet the proximity to the green hell cannot be denied: the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 emulates its big brother and the overall winner of the Nürburgring - the green and yellow Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 R "Grello". 

As with the modern Porsche 935, the basis for the anniversary model is the 911 GT2 RS - the most powerful street-legal sports car from Weissach.

performance

Our drive? The next victory. 

Because even after 25 years we fight together for the fastest lap in every race. 

The 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 will also have to prove itself in this. 

Its prerequisites are ideal: 

its 3.8-liter, 515 kW (700 hp) 6-cylinder boxer engine with twin-turbo charging in the rear lets it go relentlessly on the circuits around the world. 

The untamed power reaches the rear wheels via the motorsport-proven 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). 

The experience of a winning team, paired with unrestrained performance, gives the anniversary model the direction: 

always further forward.

aerodynamics

What keeps us on track !!! 

An overall aerodynamic concept that combines the experience of 25 years of research on the racetrack with the latest technology. 

In focus: 

the center cooler concept. 

Based on the Porsche 911 GT3 R, the concept offers several advantages. 

The always optimal flow ensures that the engine can work in the ideal temperature window for a long period of time. 

The new cooler position protects it better from outside contact on the track. 

The completely redeveloped front apron contributes to the optimal air flow with a central inlet.

Double-decker flicks on the outside are also reminiscent of the "Grello" and increase downforce on the front axle. 

On the newly designed front carbon fiber hood, the outlets, separated by a central bar, direct the hot exhaust air over the roof to the rear wing, as on the 911 GT3 R. 

In addition, the vehicle has a closed underbody. 

The central NACA opening, which was combined with the Porsche crest, provides fresh air in the cockpit.

security

Our protection !!! 

That we don't just look for top values ​​when it comes to performance.

 Because safety is also the measure of all things: 

the interior, including the welded-in safety cell, complies with the FIA ​​standard of the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport. 

The rain taillight meets the latest regulatory requirements and is also used in the latest generation of the 911 GT3 Cup (992). 

In addition, the limited special edition has a removable escape hatch in the CFRP roof, an extinguishing system, a longitudinally adjustable RECARO racing seat with a customizable padding system, a 6-point seat belt, a 115-liter FT3 safety tank and tow loops at the front and rear ex works.

design

Our sight !!! 

Breathtaking. 

The independent design of the new 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 anticipates future racing cars in individual elements. 

At the same time, targeted color elements are reminiscent of the long-term partnership. 

The colors of the Manthey "Grello" were used by the designers as an accent color to emphasize the bond between the two partners Porsche and Manthey. 

The new 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 also bridges the gap between the Porsche 911 model generations 991 and 992. 

Other design elements are reminiscent of past and current racing cars: 

the particularly wide rear spoiler protrudes into the body like the modern 935. The optimized diffuser forms the framework for the newly designed exhaust system, which is a real design highlight.

MISSION R

THE FUTURE COMES

PORSCHE MISSION R 

concept car, 

100% electric of course, gives an overview of future models intended for competition at Porsche.

Porsche is preparing the future, not only for its homologated models for the road, but also for those dedicated to the track. 

At the Munich Motor Show, the German manufacturer presents the Mission R concept which incorporates several innovations that will be found on future production models, but also competition models designed for one-design championships.

With nearly 1,100 horsepower under the hood, the prototype is a foretaste of what motorsport will be like in the years to come, for Porsche initially, but also for many other manufacturers.

Aerodynamic and eco-responsible

The design of the Porsche Mission R has been taken to the extreme, in every sense of the word, while maintaining the new aesthetic identity of the manufacturer from Stuttgart. The LED optics at the front are reminiscent of the Taycan, while the 3D effect rear strip is a tribute to the 911. The design is influenced by the race, with elaborate and aerodynamic surfaces, all punctuated by a huge spoiler.

The Mission R is much more than a "lambda" racing car to which one or more electric motors have been grafted. 

This is an "eco-responsible" model whose components are made from natural fibers, such as linen for example. 

This material is found at the level of the splitter, the diffuser, the side skirts and the seat. The monocoque, meanwhile, is made of carbon fiber to reduce the weight of the machine.

Several power levels available

As you can see from the photos, there is a bit of Taycan in this Mission R concept car, especially on the exterior, but a bit less on the interior. 

The screen in front of the driver transcribes the images of the external cameras installed on the sides and at the rear, while the telemetry is highlighted on the steering wheel. 

In addition, an additional screen can be installed to control the driver's biometric information.

The Mission R's powertrain consists of two new electric blocks. 

One is located at the front and develops 435 horsepower, while the one at the rear is capable of delivering 653 horsepower. 

Total power is claimed by Porsche at 1088 horsepower. 

The 0 to 100 km / h is shot in 2.5 seconds, while the maximum speed is announced at over 300 km / h.

Important thing to know, the 1088 horses are available in the qualifying phase, as a preamble to a "Porsche Mission R Cup" if we take the example of the Porsche Carrera Cup which exists today. 

In race configuration, for obvious reliability reasons, the power peaks at 680 horsepower, like a certain Porsche Taycan Turbo. 

Thanks to its 900-volt architecture and Porsche Turbo Charging technology, the Mission R can go from 5 to 80% in just 15 minutes. Maximum charging power is advertised at 340 kW.

Porsche ensures that the prototype guarantees the same track times as the current 911 GT3 Cup. 

It is therefore not just a question of efficiency and environmental concerns: 

with Mission R, electric mobility is also transforming motorsport and ensuring it a perhaps more virtuous future.


PORSCHE 991 CUP 

Porsche cup  launched its 911 GT3 Cup model for next year's Carrera Cup championship 

The new car will be exclusively raced in the Porsche Carrera Cup seasons.

Current Carrera Cup drivers and teams will have the first option to purchase the new race-bred 911, followed by GT3 Cup Challenge participants and then other interested parties.

Porsche will also introduce a new class structure with the Elite Class now divided into Professional-Amateur (Pro-Am) and Amateur (Am) in addition to the existing Outright class for professional drivers.

"Carrera Cup is, first and foremost, Porsche customer sport and it's critical we get the right mix of professional and semi-professional racers," said Porsche of Public Relations and Motorsport.

"As well as providing a level playing field for the best professional drivers to showcase their talent we also need to make the series appealing for the semi-pros which form the backbone of Carrera Cup.

"Initial feedback from those racing this car has been extremely positive - from the driving experience through to general maintenance and cost of ownership, which has been a key focus in the development of this next generation GT3 Cup car.

"We are talking some significant figures in the lifecycle of several key components between scheduled maintenance; engine run time is doubled now to 100 hours while gearboxes can run 30 and 60 hours between minor and major services, respectively."

The new 911 GT3 Cup features improvements in all key areas - power, aerodynamics, longevity, safety.

Developed from scratch, the new engine offers even greater power output than before. Engine capacity for the naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer unit goes up from 3.8 to 4.0 litres with power raised from 338 kW (460 hp) to 357 kW (485 hp) at 7,500 rpm. Drive is transmitted to the rear axle by a racing clutch and a Porsche six speed sequential dog-type transmission. Gears are changed manually by means of paddle shifters with electro-pneumatic assistance.

The addition of a Bosch anti-lock braking system sees the return of the driver aid to Carrera Cup since the 2005 season.

ABS will be used exclusively for Pro-Am and Am competitors.

New front and rear aprons give the 911 GT3 Cup a more angular appearance while providing optimised aerodynamics, while an enlarged roof hatch and proven bodyshell of aluminium and steel hybrid construction ensures this generation 911 GT3 Cup is the safest yet.

Revised software enables vehicle diagnostics to be performed on the steering wheel display. Extra sensors on the car augment the information content of acquired vehicle data, increasing the data evaluation potential.
