BEND MANTHEY Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3 of Yasser Shahin (AUS) Riccardo PERA (ITA) Richard Lietz (AUT) in action during the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

The Porsche 911 GT3 R competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship's LMGT3 class is arguably the most accomplished, experienced, and formidably competitive GT3 racing car on the grid — a machine that carries the full weight of Porsche's unparalleled GT racing heritage and decades of continuous development excellence into every round of the WEC calendar.
Built around the iconic 992-generation 911 platform, the GT3 R is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine — Porsche's most celebrated and characterful engine configuration, mounted in the traditional rear-engined position and delivering a gloriously distinctive, spine-tingling exhaust note that remains utterly unique among contemporary GT3 competitors.
The bodywork is a masterclass in aerodynamic efficiency and purposeful design — featuring a dramatic swan-neck rear wing mounted with characteristic Porsche engineering elegance, prominent front splitter, carefully sculpted side bodywork, and a deep rear diffuser all developed exhaustively in Porsche's Weissach wind tunnel to generate exceptional downforce and aerodynamic balance.
The suspension, braking, and mechanical engineering throughout reflect Porsche Motorsport's obsessive commitment to precision, consistency, and reliability — qualities that have made the 911 GT3 R the benchmark GT3 car against which all others are measured worldwide.
Campaigned by experienced customer racing teams with full Porsche Motorsport factory support, the GT3 R brings unmatched depth of knowledge, setup refinement, and competitive pedigree to Le Mans, Spa, Fuji, and every circuit on the WEC calendar.
Precise, devastatingly well-developed, and carrying Porsche's iconic white and black racing livery with understated confidence — the 911 GT3 R remains the definitive GT3 racing car of its generation.
