Porsche has unveiled the latest iteration of its iconic 911 GT3 for 2025, marking 25 years since the nameplate first hit the showrooms. This time, the carmaker offers two distinct versions at launch; a track-focused variant with a rear wing, and the more understated Touring Package which forgoes the wing in favour of a sleeker, more refined design.
At the heart of both models is a 4.0-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six engine producing the same 375kW and 450Nm of torque (20Nm less). Porsche says it has made various changes to the engine including adding tweaked camshafts, optimised individual throttle valves, and revised heads. Unfortunately, due to ever-tightening emissions laws, the new model now features two petrol particulate filters and four catalytic converters in the exhaust system.
Buyers can choose between a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. The PDK model achieves 0-100km/h in a claimed 3.4 seconds, while the manual version is slightly slower at 3.9 seconds. Top speeds are pegged at 311km/h and 313km/h, respectively.
Porsche’s pursuit of lightweight performance continues in this new model, thanks to new lightweight aluminium wheels (reducing unsprung mass by 1.5kg). However, a Light Package is available adding a 40Ah lithium-ion battery and optional magnesium wheels, so in its lightest form it weighs 1420kg.
The GT3’s aerodynamics have also been fine-tuned, with a redesigned front splitter, spoiler lips, and underbody fins enhancing downforce and optimising airflow at high speeds.
The Touring Package, which has been a fan favourite since it was first introduced in 2017, now arrives at launch for the first time. This version preserves the iconic 911 shape, doing away with the fixed rear wing in favour of a more subtle, extendable rear spoiler.
It also retains the same aerodynamics under the skin, featuring an adapted fin design for balance. The Touring Package adds a timeless elegance to the GT3’s aggressive performance, making it an appealing choice for those who prefer their power without the visual drama.
Inside, the Touring Package presents a high-quality leather interior with a classic sporty feel, with some luxurious to support a long touring drive. For the first time, buyers of the GT3 Touring can opt for a rear seat system, expanding the car’s usability as a practical yet track-ready sports car.
For the firs time Porsche is offering a Weissach package across the GT3 range, bringing in further personalisation with carbon fibre components, including a lightweight roll cage, magnesium wheels, and customisable Race-Tex interior.
In Australia both models will come standard with a lifting system for the front axle, ‘Up to the Dreams’ exterior colour options, ParkAssist with a rear-view camera, Light Design Package, and digital radio, among other things applied to overseas models as well.
Prices start from $446,700 (excluding on-road costs), with the Weissach pack adding $47,530 to the bill. Local deliveries are scheduled to commence during the second half of 2025.
