Regardless of version, the 911 GT3 packs a 4.0-liter normally-aspirated flat-6—possibly the last ever for the 911 GT3 range given the tightening European emissions standard. For this iteration, the GT3 gains revised cylinder heads and sharper camshafts from the GT3 RS to provide even more high-range performance. Together with the flow-optimized individual throttle valves and optimized oil coolers, it makes 510 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. It comes in both 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual clutch (PDK) flavors. When equipped with the PDK, it reaches 100 km/h from zero in just 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 311 km/h (3.9 seconds, 313 km/h for the manual).

Like the new 911 range, the 911 GT3 features revised styling for better aerodynamics. For example, the front diffuser, spoiler lip, and fins have all been modified to increase downforce and optimize airflow. The round Matrix LED headlights now combine all the lighting functions eliminating the need for additional lights in the front bumper. This enables an enlarged air inlet area. At the back, the diffuser, air inlets and rear lid have been redesigned. The rear wing also has new angled side plates.

Porsche offers various equipment packages for the new 911 GT3. Opting for the Weissach package (available for the first time in the 911 GT3) means the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic on the roof, side plates of the rear wing, exterior mirror, and air blades. Going for the Clubsport package adds a bolted steel roll cage, a 6-point racing harness for the driver, and a hand-held fire extinguisher.

On the other hand, the 911 GT3 Touring, meanwhile, dispenses with the fixed wing in favor of an extendable rear spoiler along with the Gurney flap, and an adapted fin on the underbody. Going further, it’s made available in the Leichtbau package. This means that the stabilizer, coupling rods, and shear panel on the rear axle are all made of CFRP. The lightweight magnesium forged wheels and the lightweight door panels are also part of the package. In conjunction with the standard 6-speed GT sports gearbox, the shortened gear lever from the 911 S/T is used. In front of the gear lever, a plaque with the inscription “Leichtbau” indicates the package.

Inside, the 911 GT3 dispenses with the push-button start-stop in favor of the rotary ignition switch. The digital instrument cluster has a contrasting color scheme for the rev counter. The tach can even be rotated so that the cut-off speed of 9,000 rpm is at the 12 o’clock marking. A new lightweight sport bucket seat is available, while for the Touring, buyers can opt for the 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus and rear seats. And for the first time, the upper side of the dashboard on the 911 GT3 is covered in anti-glare Racetex. CFRP door handles and storage nets optimize the interior door panels for a lightweight design.
