Porsche 911 GT3 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.
With an exclusive naturally aspirated engine and race-car-inspired components, the Porsche 911 GT3 is optimized for driver engagement and racing glory. Porsche improves its most visceral 911 variant with a wishbone front suspension – the first on a 911 road car – and an unusual rear wing mounted on top instead of bottom. The GT3 is also the only non-turbocharged 911, and the responsiveness and impressive sounds of its 502-hp 4.0-liter flat-six are inspiring.

The rear-wheel drive’s uniqueness is further realized by the telepathic seven-speed PDK automatic transmission or the rewarding six-speed manual. Thanks to a unique suspension and track-focused tire options, the Porsche 911 GT3 offers a surprisingly smooth, if firm, ride and incredible steering feel, which are just some of the reasons it’s so exciting to drive.
What’s new ?
For Porsche 911 GT3, is back! We’ve been following its return for the 992 generation from the unveiling of the prototype version to Porsche’s flood of official details. An even racy GT3 RS is surely in the works too.
As with the last generation, Porsche will offer three slightly different versions of the GT3 going forward, starting with the standard car available now, a still track-focused RS model, and a Touring variant that gets the racy look by nixing the big rear wing. This time, the GT3 Touring will be available with both transmissions instead of just the manual when it goes on sale early next year.
Engine, transmission and performance
At the rear of the 911 GT3 sits a familiar 4.0-litre, naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine that produces 502bhp. The engine is essentially identical to the one that powered the last 911 Speedster we tested, which revved to 9000rpm and sang a hypnotic tune. The new GT3 offers both a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (aka PDK) and a six-speed manual transmission. The PDK-equipped example we drove showcased the automatic’s intuitive behaviour, as well as the engine’s spirited responses and stirring soundtrack.
The GT3’s most notable performance upgrade is the wishbone front suspension, which is inspired by the race car version and a first for a production 911. Combine that with standard adaptive dampers and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 – or sticky Cup R – tires and the coupe’s chassis delivers tremendous cornering grip and unfiltered feedback. While the ride is undeniably firm, it’s never punishing, and the electrically assisted steering is so divine it has to be lauded as the best in the business – period. Stopping the purist’s Porsche are massive binders that include a carbon-ceramic option that offers heroic stopping power, easy modulation and resists fade on the track.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
Neither the EPA nor Porsche have said how fuel-efficient the Porsche 911 GT3 will be in the city or on the highway. Once those estimates are released and we have a chance to drive one on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, part of our extensive testing program, we’ll be able to evaluate real-world mpg.
Interior, comfort and cargo
The GT3’s interior is very similar to the rest of the 911 range, with a clean design and simple layout that pays homage to past iterations of Porsche’s quintessential sports car. However, there are a handful of unique features throughout the cabin. The GT3’s instrument cluster still features a prominent analog tachometer flanked by digital gauges, but gains a special GT mode that puts all the important information directly on the gauges surrounding the central tachometer.
Automatic-transmission models also replace the stubby center console shifter of regular 911s with a traditional-looking handle that mimics a manual shifter. As in the last GT3, there’s no cramped back seat for kids, but furbabies can snuggle in there if they can stand the noise. Porsche also offers more than one type of front seats, with an optional set of lightweight buckets that reduce bulk and increase support.
Infotainment and connectivity
The infotainment system from the regular 911 finds its way into the GT3 version. That means a 10.9-inch touchscreen is located in the middle of the dashboard and is complemented by some physical controls on the steering wheel as well as the center console. Connectivity features on the Porsche include wireless Apple CarPlay and a Wi-Fi hotspot. There’s also the option to upgrade to a Bose stereo.
Safety and driver assistance functions
Driver assistance technology is not part of the GT recipe, with only rear-view sensors and traffic sign recognition being the only options one might consider as “assistance” features. For more information on the 911 GT3’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.
Warranty and maintenance coverage
Porsche offers a competitive limited warranty and powertrain warranty that also includes a free maintenance visit. Mercedes-AMG, for example, does not include maintenance when you purchase its car.
