Porsche is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 911 GT3 by launching two variants simultaneously for the 992.2 facelift: the 2025 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 with Touring Package.


Both versions share a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-6 engine that delivering 503 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque, allowing the GT3 to hit 60 mph in as little as 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph. Manual enthusiasts can still enjoy the six-speed GT Sport transmission, which now features a shorter final drive ratio, improving acceleration and maintaining the GT3’s screaming 9,000-rpm redline.

Porsche’s focus on aerodynamics shines in both models. The GT3 has a redesigned rear wing for improved downforce, while the more understated Touring model opts for an active rear spoiler with a Gurney flap. These improvements also include tweaked front splitters, air inlets, underbody air guides, and rear diffusers for better airflow and performance.


The Weissach Package, available on the GT3 for the first time, includes carbon-fiber components such as the roof, rear wing, exterior mirror top shells, and air blades in the front area. For the GT3 with Touring Package, the Lightweight Package is similar to the Weissach Pack but delivers a balance between performance and practicality. It includes forged magnesium wheels, carbon-fiber components, and a "Leichtbau" plaque in front of the gear lever, signaling its commitment to lightweight performance. The six-speed manual gearbox also gets the shortened gear lever from the 911 S/T model, adding a tactile element to gear shifts.


Porsche shaved 10 pounds with a lithium-ion battery, while the magnesium wheels shed an additional 20 pounds. Meanwhile, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is used extensively throughout both models, These upgrades include CFRP door panels, roof, and even rear axle components, taking the GT3’s agility to another level.


The lightweight sport seats with a CFRP shell are also available for track-focused buyers, adding to the GT3's blend of performance and practicality. They have a removable headrest pad to facilitate better helmet ergonomics.


For the first time, the GT3 Touring can be optioned with rear seats, a feature Porsche enthusiasts have long requested. Inside, the cabin is customizable with high-quality leather, digital displays, and a “Track Screen” mode that highlights performance data for serious driving.


The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 starts at $224,495, with deliveries expected by summer 2025. Whether you’re drawn to the track-oriented GT3 or the refined GT3 Touring, Porsche’s latest offering continues the legacy of combining race-ready performance with everyday usability.
