The GT3 dot 2 update is here, and besides what appears to be a subtle nip-and-tuck, here's everything that changed compared to the outgoing model
Porsche just took the wraps off the 911 GT3 992.2 for the 2025 model year
For the first time in 25 years, they've also introduced the GT3 Touring model alongside the standard GT3
Both models retain the same naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with 510 hp and are available with a the 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK
Viewed from the side, it may seem that not much has changed from the 992.1 model seen here
The re-contoured front diffuser, the refined shape of the spoiler lip and modified fins on the underbody increase downforce and optimise the airflow
Upfront you get an edgier redesigned front bumper and Matrix LED headlights similar to the 992.2 Carrera
Also available on the 911 GT3 is an optional white accent ring
This eliminates the need for additional lights in the front apron like you got on the 992.1 GT3
In the rear, the diffuser, air inlets, and rear lid have been redesigned. The rear wing of the 911 GT3 has new angled side plates
In contrast, the outgoing model had a rear-end that was a lot busier
But the big change on the GT3 line for 2025 is the availability of the Weissach package for the first time
Previously reserved for the track-focused GT3 RS, the Weissach package focuses on shedding weight, with carbon fiber on the roof, exterior mirror top shell, mirror triangle
You'll even find it on the side plates of the rear wing, mounted on the swan-neck struts from the outgoing model
Additional leather and Race-Tex upholstery enhance the look of the interior. For the first time, the upper side of the dashboard on the 911 GT3 is accordingly covered in anti-glare Racetex.
Unfortunately, the analog tachometer on the 992.1 GT3 is now gone and you not get an all-digital instrument cluster instead
Thankfully, the Touring model retains some old-school touches in form a twister-style starter instead of a push-button start
Owing to customer demand, Porsche is now offering optional rear seats on the GT3 Touring
Another customer request was for seats that could accommodate a helmet, and these new foldable seats feature removal headrests
Lightweight magnesium wheels are available on both the Weissach and Leichbau Package
The Clubsport package for track use is available at no extra charge. It includes a bolted steel roll cage in the rear, a 6-point harness for the driver, and a hand-held fire extinguisher.
In terms of their positioning within Porsche's current lineup, the 992.2 is leaning more towards the track-focused GT3 RS
The Touring model is geared towards the road, and has some more creature comforts and is in fact 85% of what the 911 S/T is
Compared to the outgoing model, the 992.2 is nearly $60k more expensive with a starting MSRP of $222,500, and will be available to order by the end of the year.
