Watch the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 rip around the ‘Ring

• Updated 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 has been spotted at the Nürburgring
• Updated GT3 starts sales later this year priced from $224,495, including destination
  
• Still to come are updated versions of the Turbo, Turbo S, and GT3 RS grades

The current 992 generation of the Porsche 911 is in the process of being updated for its mid-cycle starting with the 2025 model year, with some updated models already revealed and others still out testing.

The updated version of the 911 GT3 track star was shown in October, and since then Porsche continues to test examples at the Nürburgring, albeit with all of the camouflage gear of earlier prototypes now gone.

There’s no hybrid system like what Porsche introduced on the updated Carrera GTS, and is expected to introduced on the updated Turbo S, at least not yet. Instead, the updated GT3 sticks with a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-6, with the peak power unchanged at 502 hp.

There were some changes made to the engine to meet stricter emissions standards, though. According to Porsche, these included a new camshaft profile borrowed from the 911 GT3 RS, plus revised cylinder heads and optimized throttle bodies.

Buyers can continue to choose from either a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, referred to by Porsche as a PDK, or a 6-speed manual. Both transmissions feature a final-drive ratio that is 8% percent shorter than before, which Porsche said helps with acceleration. The 0-60 mph time is unchanged from the previous year, though. Both the GT3 and more comfort oriented GT3 Touring version require 3.2 seconds to reach 60 mph, and top out at 193 mph and 195 mph, respectively.

The updated GT3 features the revised matrix LED headlights and taillights that feature across the updated 911 range, while the GT3 is available with an additional white accent ring for the headlights. There are also revised aerodynamics front and rear, which help improve downforce and optimize air flow. These include revised designs for the front fascia, rear wing, and underbody fins. There’s also a new double wishbone front suspension with a teardrop profile that also helps to improve downforce, according to Porsche.

Inside, the gauges are fully digital for the first time (currently there’s a mix of analog and digital). New trim options are available, and buyers of the GT3 Touring can also request to have the deleted rear seats added back. Buyers of both versions can also opt for new Weissach and Leichtbau packages that add various weight-saving measures.

The updated GT3 comes 25 years after the original GT3 based on the 996-generation 911 was launched. Order books open later this year for both the regular GT3 and GT3 Touring, with pricing starting at $224,495, including a $1,995 destination charge. The new pricing is about $40,000 higher than the starting price of the 2024 model, and is likely closer to what customers are actually paying after taking into account things like dealer markups.

Still out testing are updated versions of the Turbo, Turbo S, and GT3 RS models. The current versions of those models carry over unchanged for the 2025 model year, meaning the updated versions will likely arrive as 2026 models. A new model possibly dubbed the Turbo S Touring may also join the lineup for 2026.
