HPDE Overview
The 992 is the most technologically advanced 911 ever produced. The 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six is stronger, the 8-speed PDK is even faster, and the chassis benefits from a wider front track and updated suspension. The 992 GTS with 473 hp is a remarkable track car — fast, composed, and surprisingly approachable at the limit. The new 8-speed PDK is a revelation — faster shifts, smoother operation, and better fuel efficiency than the 7-speed. The manual remains available on GTS and below. The rear-axle steering (optional) dramatically improves agility at low speeds while adding stability at high speeds.
