The Porsche 911 GT3 is back! Porsche has brought back its powerful, race-oriented 911 variant after a few years ago, and it's a celebration of driving engagement and performance. In this video, Alistair Weaver straps in with Porsche driving expert Patrick Long as they push the 2022 911 GT3 to the limit at Road Atlanta to track-test Porsche's luxury sports car.

The Porsche 911 GT3 is a luxury sport coupe that slots between the GTS and the all-powerful 911 Turbo in terms of cost, but it has a different goal in mind. That goal is speed and performance. For 2022, the GT3's engine makes 502 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque. That type of power is on full display with a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 197 mph. Add in a new front spoiler, front diffuser and rear wing to enhance track performance, and you've got one of the fastest sports cars available.

The interior of the GT3 is pretty much what we've come to expect from a Porsche 911, but with a few nice additions. Most notably, Porsche has swapped out the tiny PDK gear selector of the Carrera for a more traditional-looking gear selector (gear knob and all!). It's a small touch, but it helps set the GT3 apart from the other 911 models. The racing seats are very comfortable and the driving position is excellent. On the technology front, the GT3 comes with two drive modes, Sport and Track, which can be configured to allow you to mix different drivetrain and chassis elements to your preferences. The GT3-specific instrument cluster shows only necessary information, such as engine temperature and tire pressures, in Track mode.

We think it's pretty obvious how much we love the GT3. It is a blast and remains the benchmark sports car for people who love to drive. This is our first drive review of the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3.
