The Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 Touring have been revealed, marking the first time Porsche has released two versions simultaneously. Despite customer demand for a six-speed manual transmission, Porsche has also introduced optional rear seats, a feature that may not be welcomed by all purists. The new pricing strategy may also disappoint some buyers.
The Porsche 911 GT3, which was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show 25 years ago, has evolved over time in terms of technology and performance. However, Porsche has maintained the model’s core DNA as a street-legal race car. The 992.2 GT3 is lighter and offers more equipment, while still retaining its track-focused nature.
Both variants feature a redesigned diffuser, spoiler lip, and underbody air guides. The Matrix Design LED headlights have also been updated, now with an optional white accent ring. Inside, the GT3 cabin is similar to other 911 models, but includes a new digital instrument cluster with a Track Screen mode that displays essential driving data and provides visual cues for optimal gear shifting.
The Porsche 911 GT3, a high-performance sports car, has received a significant update for the 2025 model year. This new iteration boasts several enhancements, including improved performance, advanced technology, and a more refined interior. One notable addition is the availability of a four-seat configuration for the first time in the GT3’s history, catering to customers who desire both exceptional driving dynamics and practicality.
Under the hood, the car retains its naturally aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, delivering 502 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. Despite a slight decrease in torque compared to its predecessor, the GT3 achieves a 0-60 mph acceleration time of just 3.2 seconds when paired with the PDK automatic transmission.
The manual transmission option, on the other hand, takes 3.7 seconds. This improved performance is attributed to enhancements such as hotter camshafts, new throttle bodies, and revised heads.
The car’s handling and agility have also been refined through a combination of enhanced aerodynamics and a reduced weight. The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 is expected to hit the market towards the end of the year with a starting price of $222,500.
