The Porsche 911 GT3 Brings Racing Performance to Everyday Driving


First unveiled at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show, racer Walter Rohrl and race engineer Roland Kussmaul collaborated to develop the Porsche 911 GT3. The pair aimed to design a race-track-agile sports car for everyday driving and succeeded. Since its release, the GT3 has become the most popular 911 model among Porsche purists.


Modern GT3s feature a 4-liter naturally aspirated motor that delivers 502 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. The engine goes from 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds, reaching a top track speed of just under 200 miles per hour. The GT3 pairs performance with a striking race-inspired body design and comfort and safety features, such as climate control, four-way leather seats, and warn and brake assist.


Since 2017, the GT3 has been available in a Touring Package, which offers a discreet yet powerful option that references some of the more restrained Porsche 911s from the 1970s.
