One of the world’s greatest street-legal supercars has been upgraded with fresh styling, improved aerodynamics, mechanical enhancements and more personalisation options, as well as a new rear-seat option for the Touring version of the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3.
Revealed overnight in Europe ahead of first Australian customer deliveries in the second half of 2025, the updated GT3 and GT3 with Touring Package are the newest members of the facelifted 992.2-series Porsche 911 range to appear, following the reveal of the latest 911 Carrera and GTS T-Hybrid in May.
When orders open by the end of this year, both manual and auto versions of the new GT3 and GT3 Touring will cost $446,700 before on-road costs, marking a $29,300 price hike over their 992.1 predecessors.
Replacements for the range-topping GT3 RS and other non-GT variants, as well as the new-generation GT2 RS, will follow.

Marking the 25th anniversary of the GT3 nameplate first introduced by Porsche in 1999, the 992.2 makeover for both hardcore coupes – launched together for the first time – brings new exterior styling, the new optional Weissach package and an eight per cent shorter final drive ratio for both six-speed manual and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (PDK) variants.
However, performance outputs for the GT3’s naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six remain unchanged at 375kW of power and 460Nm of torque.
Despite the shorter final drive, there’s no change to the claimed 0-100/km acceleration time of 3.4 seconds or the 311km/h top speed for the PDK (manuals do the sprint in 3.9 seconds and hit 313km/h) and, as usual for a new Porsche, there are hefty prices for both GT3 variants.
While performance outputs remain unchanged, Porsche says the GT3’s big-bore non-turbo boxer six has received cylinder-heads and camshafts from the 386kW/465Nm GT3 RS to deliver “even more dynamic performance in the upper engine-speed range”.
Two particulate filters and four catalytic converters are also fitted to meet the latest exhaust and emissions standards globally.
At the front, the revised GT3 scores a new front diffuser and redesigned Matrix LED headlights, which are borrowed from other updated 992.2 variants, available with a white accent ring and negate the need for additional lighting lower down, allowing for larger front air intakes.
At the rear, there’s a redesigned diffuser and air inlets, increasing downforce in the wheel-arches at high speeds and improving brake cooling, along with a revised rear wing with new angled side plates and modified underbody fins to further increase downforce and optimise air flow.
Additional standard equipment for all four GT3 variants will include a front lift system, rear ParkAssist with reversing camera, Light Design Package, DAB+ digital radio, tyre fit set and ‘Up to the Dreams’ exterior paint colour range.
The GT3 Touring continues to dispense with the fixed rear wing, but brings the option of a rear seat system for the first time.
Other new options include a new silver alloy wheel design that’s said to reduce unsprung mass by more than 1.5 kg, plus 9kg-lighter (total) magnesium wheels (available in the GT3’s Weissach package and the Touring’s Lightweight package) and a new 40Ah lithium-ion battery that saves a further 4kg, bringing the GT3’s lightest configuration to just 1420kg – 15kg less than before.
Adding the Weissach package will cost an extra $47,530, and the similarly new Lightweight package will be priced at $71,120.
The Touring’s Lightweight package comprises a painted roof, stabiliser bars, coupling rods and rear-exle shear panel all made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, lightweight magnesium forged wheels and lightweight door panels, the stubby gear lever from the 911 S/T, and a ‘Leichtbau’ plaque ahead of the shifter.
Once again, the Club Sport package will be a no-cost option for the standard GT3, and includes a bolted steel rear rollcage, six-point driver’s harness and fire extinguisher, only be available in conjunction with optional lightweight carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) sports bucket seats.
The CFRP rollcage from the GT3 RS and magnesium wheels are further options.
“The new 911 GT3 has become even more exhilarating and individual. We dug into a wealth of details and gave it many features that our customers wanted. This allows the GT3 to be adapted even more specifically to the purpose or preferences of the driver,” said Porsche’s head of GT cars, Andreas Preuninger.
