2025 Porsche 911 GT3 Photos, engines & full specs

After 25 years and seven versions or generations of the Porsche 911 GT3, the German sports car manufacturer introduced a new iteration of this nameplate in October 2024.

Developed as a sports car with enough performance to successfully compete in friendly weekend challenges, the Porsche 911 GT3 evolved into two versions: one that could be used as a daily vehicle and another that could bring a smile to their owner’s face during weekends, on race tracks. At the same time, one of the most significant challenges was to comply with stricter emission regulations, which could limit the power output. However, that didn’t happen, and the car became even faster with just a slight increase in weight. In addition, Porsche also added a well-deserved aesthetic upgrade to the 992.1 generation of its famous 911 range.

With the 992.2 version of the Porsche 911 GT3, the German automaker improved the car’s front fascia. While it still kept the traditional round headlights, it replaced the previous four-dot pattern for the LED daytime running lights with four lines that doubled as turn signals. Between them, on the hood, the automaker installed two vents that extracted the air from the front air dam, improving downforce. On the lower side of the wrapped-around plastic bumper, Porsche created an apron with a broad, angular-shaped center air intake. In addition, for the GT3 version, the car manufacturer added a lip spoiler at the bottom sustained by four cables to keep it steady at high speeds.

From its profile, the race-ready 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 didn’t reveal its secrets at first glance. The standard version featured aluminum wheels and steel brakes. Those who opted for the Weissach package also got carbon-ceramic rotors and magnesium wheels as an option, which shaved about nine kilograms (20 lbs.) from the car’s weight. The same package also added exposed carbon fiber elements on the hood and door mirror caps. Unlike the rest of the 911 range, the GT3 featured a carbon fiber roof. At the back, Porsche improved the car’s aerodynamics. No element was there just for the look, and all served a purpose. The ducktail spoiler on the engine’s lid increased downforce. In addition, a massive carbon fiber wing with unpainted elements was available. Unlike the previous version of the GT3, the 2025 model year had a new cooling grille on the upper side, with a single rectangular opening adorned by a mesh grille instead of small vertical slats to cover it. The rear bumper also got refreshed and sported real exhaust vents behind the wheel arches to relieve the air trapped inside the wheel wells. A twin exhaust system was placed below the bumper, neatly integrated into the diffuser’s vertical slats.

Inside, the car manufacturer focused not just on performance but also on styling and comfort. The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS had standard power sports seats, while a set of carbon-fiber bucket seats was available. Furthermore, these featured removable padding for the headrests to improve room for the helmets. Fronting the driver was a completely digital instrument panel. This was customizable, so the driver could select the dials they needed most on a track or in their daily driving routines. Atop the center stack, Porsche added the touchscreen for the infotainment system. Last but not least, the sports car manufacturer offered a carbon-fiber roll cage as an option that stiffened the vehicle’s structure even more for better performance around a track.

Since the car had to respect stricter emission standards than its predecessor, the automaker had to double the number of catalytic converters from two to four. However, the power didn’t skip a beat and reached 510 PS (503 hp) from its four-liter, flat-six engine. All the oomph was sent to the rear wheels via a standard six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed PDK (dual-clutch automatic transmission).
