V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

The Most Powerful 6-Cylinder Production Engine Ever Made

If you were hoping to get what is arguably the finest sports car on the planet, you're out of luck. While browsing the Porsche USA site this week (as one does when one can), we noticed that the 911 GT3 no longer appears. The production facility in Zuffenhausen where the GT3 is produced has a very limited manufacturing capacity, and although Porsche tries to get as many out of the door as possible, demand far exceeds supply, and not just for the GT3; other high-performance Porsches must also be made.

The Porsche 911 GT3 Is Dead For 2025

If you’ve followed our previous coverage of the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, you’ll forgive us for asking: What haven’t we reported by now in terms of how spectacularly this car performs? What haven’t we said that leaves any doubt about the track-focused abilities of the most dynamically capable, factory-built, road-legal, series-production 911 of all time? We raved about it in our first drive story and in our second drive story. We pitted it head to head against a 911 Cup race car at Road America. We ran it through our official MotorTrend testing regimen.

The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units. On top of the convenience of the automatic or CVT, manuals aren't a cheaper option anymore. Back in the day, the manual transmission was standard kit on many cars, with the automatic options having an up-charge, but that's no longer the case. And since automatics are generally more frugal, more buyers are opting for those - and thus, also more manufacturers.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.
