The new Porsche 911 GT3 has a “more sober” Touring package that brings a toned down style and a six-speed manual gearbox.
As with the previous generation 911 GT3 Touring, the new addition to the lineup is mechanically identical to the standard 503bhp GT3, unveiled earlier this year, but with a number of key revisions aimed at drivers with “a pronounced passion for sobriety and classic driving pleasure “.
Equipped with the six-speed manual transmission, the 911 GT3 Touring weighs 1,418 kg, or 1,435 kg with the optional PDK seven-speed automatic transmission – the same as the standard GT3.
In typical Touring styling, the massive fixed rear spoiler has been dropped in favor of a self-expanding concealed element, while bespoke styling elements include aluminum window trims, a color-coded front splitter, a “Touring” rear badge and tinted headlights.
Inside, it is marked by a unique leather finish for the seats, steering wheel, gear lever, center console and armrests, as well as scuff plates and a black aluminum dashboard.
Prices match the standard GT3, starting at £ 127,820, and we can expect performance to stay roughly the same: 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 199mph.
The Touring moniker was first used for a variant of the 1973 911 Carrera RS. Similar-designed versions of the 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster went on sale in 2019, badged “T”.
