Porsche has revealed its updated 911 GT3 in Geneva, featuring a 4.0-litre flat-six and the option of a six-speed manual

Missed out on the exclusive 911 R? We have some good news. As has been suspected for some time now, the refreshed 911 GT3 has one of those wobbly sticks we love so much poking out between the seats.

And that’s not the only change of note. The old 3.8-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six - which was subject to a recall early in the 991 GT3’s life - is gone, replaced with a 4.0-litre unit. It revs to a spine-tingling 9000rpm, a touch higher than in the 4.0-litre-equipped GT3 RS.

It puts out 493bhp, making 0-62mph possible in 3.4 seconds with the seven-speed PDK automatic gearbox fitted. Go for the manual, and you’re looking at 3.9 seconds. We’ll happily take the drop in acceleration for the chance of driving a 493bhp manual Porsche, thanks. The manual is slightly faster at the top end, too - it’ll do 200mph, where the PDK manages a paltry 199mph.

Porsche has also had a little fiddle with the aero package. The front end has been redesigned for better airflow, while at the back end there’s a new diffuser and carbonfibre rear wing.

There’s no word on pricing just yet, but expect to pay somewhere in the region of £110,000.

Not the only one with a dream. Kind of like Martin Luther King but as a car. It rallies the masses. ;)

As a daily definitely with a manual, but for lap times? Probably the PDK for its speed.
