The updated Porsche 911 GT3 has just been announced with some enhancements and here’s your first look, plus SA pricing details.
If ever there was a vehicle which epitomised a brand, its the Porsche 911. Sure the Cayenne and Macan sell in substantially more numbers, but the 911 is the halo product. For 2025, the flagship has been given some updates.
Visually, its a mild update, with subtle enhanced aerodynamics to improve downforce and airflow. The car features revised damper settings as well as an upgraded steering setup.
The great news is the iconic 4.0-litre naturally-aspirated flat-6 petrol engine has been retained and continues to thump out 375 kW and 450 Nm. Performance? Blistering. The updated Porsche 911 GT3 accelerates to 100 kph in just 3.4 seconds with PDK and reaches a top speed of 311 kph. If you’ve opted for the manual gearbox, expect 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 313 kph.
If you’re a petrolhead, you’ll notice this new model has slightly less torque and we have strict emissions laws to thank for that. Still, its impressive how Porsche has managed to maintain the performance as well as a 9 000 rpm redline. The exhaust is new and features extra hardware to try keep emissions low.
In terms of transmissions, Porsche says there’s a shorter gear ratio for the final drive which is said to improve drivability. Both a PDK and a manual gearbox are available.
Shown alongside the GT3 was the GT3 with Touring package. This is aimed for those who want a bit more practicality and usability, not to mention subtlety. There’s now an optional rear seat system, and if you’re not a fan of the standard seats, you can option the 18-way adjustable adaptive sports seats plus.
Porsche has confirmed the Weissach (GT3) and Leichbau (Touring) packages for the enthusiasts which introduces numerous weight-saving measures like carbon fibre roof, rear wing end plates, exterior mirrors, anti-roll bar while the cabin gets carbon fibre door handles.
