New 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 Revealed

Porsche is celebrating 25 years of the iconic GT3 by revealing the new 2025 911 GT3. As part of the updated 992.2 model range, this version carries forward much of the appeal of its predecessor while adding thoughtful refinements. At its core is the signature 502-horsepower, 9,000 revolutions-per-minute, naturally aspirated flat-six engine, which remains a hallmark of the GT3 experience. Unlike some other 911 models that are moving towards hybrid powertrains, the GT3 stays true to its internal combustion roots. Maintaining compliance with stricter emissions regulations has been no easy task, but Porsche achieved it without sacrificing performance. The engine now features two gas-particulate filters and four catalytic converters to meet modern standards. To keep excitement levels high, Porsche has made several performance upgrades, including hotter camshafts from the GT3 RS, new throttle bodies, oil coolers, and revised cylinder heads. For driving enthusiasts, the car can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The manual gearbox, in particular, now comes with a shorter final drive, addressing a common complaint about long gearing in previous models. Porsche’s improvements do not stop with the engine. The 2025 GT3 borrows some suspension advancements from the track-focused GT3 RS. For instance, certain suspension links are shaped like aerofoils to boost front-end downforce and improve brake cooling. The lower mounting point on the front wishbone also reduces dive under braking, ensuring better stability at speed. To balance the increased front downforce, Porsche refined the rear diffuser and engine cover, allowing for a more aerodynamic setup overall. The GT3 also gets fresh rubber, with tires sized 255/35ZR20 up front and 315/30ZR21 at the rear. These tires not only enhance grip in wet conditions but offer an optional track-focused version for those seeking peak performance. New lightweight wheels shave off a few pounds, contributing to the overall weight savings. The Weissach Package, previously reserved for RS models, is now available on the GT3, offering extensive use of carbon fiber for the roof, suspension components, and more. Porsche is also bringing back the Touring Package, which offers a more understated look by removing the rear wing and adding other lightweight features. Inside, the GT3 mirrors many of the updates found in the 911 Carrera, but keeps its distinctive ignition switch. Porsche has also introduced new carbon fiber bucket seats with optional heating, and the Touring version can even be optioned with rear seats. With a base price of $224,495, the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 may cost significantly more than its predecessor, but it remains a dream car for many, keeping the spirit of the GT3 alive.
