NOTE: In May of 2023 Elon Musk posted about an engine he referred to as "Raptor V3". In August 2024, SpaceX revealed a different engine referred to as "Raptor 3". It seems the internal naming convention may have changed, or Elon's post left out important context on the naming of Raptor engines. This video from 2023 discusses the V3 Elon posted about.

Raptor 3 just smashed the chamber pressure record hitting 350 Bar during a test firing at SpaceX's McGregor, Texas facility. This pressure allows the engine to be even more efficient during flight. Watch as Jack breaks down what happened and what this means for spaceflight!
