Porsche’s track-ready 911 sports car receives several small upgrades for 2025, from a revised suspension to a new lightweight package and optional rear seats.
Porsche has given the iconic 911 sports car some fresh styling for 2025, including a new hybrid powertrain for the GTS model. Now, the track-ready 911 GT3 is also getting updates with sharper looks, improved suspension, and lightweight bucket seats. Plus, for the first time, it will offer the weight-saving Weissach package.
The design tweaks are classic Porsche—subtle yet effective. The front features a new spoiler and underbody fins for better downforce, and the LED headlights have a fresh look with an optional white accent ring. All lighting functions are now streamlined into the main headlight unit, creating space for a larger air intake. At the rear, you’ll find a revamped diffuser, new air vents, and a redesigned rear wing for enhanced performance.
The 911 GT3 keeps its powerful 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, now updated to meet tougher emissions standards with two particulate filters and four catalytic converters. It still delivers 502 horsepower, but torque has dropped slightly from 346 to 331 pound-feet. Porsche achieved this while keeping the same power by using camshaft technology from the 911 GT3 RS and making some tweaks to the engine’s components.
Don’t worry—the engine still revs up to 9,000 rpm! You can choose between a seven-speed PDK automatic or a six-speed manual transmission, both designed for quicker acceleration with an 8% shorter final drive ratio. The PDK version can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and hit a top speed of 193 mph, while the manual version does it in 3.7 seconds and can reach 195 mph.
For 2025, Porsche has upgraded the GT3’s suspension, taking cues from the more extreme GT3 RS. The front ball joint on the lower trailing arm is now positioned lower, helping reduce pitching during hard braking. The GT3 also features teardrop-shaped trailing arms on the front axle, which enhance downforce at high speeds. These changes aim to maintain a balanced aerodynamic performance, making the GT3 even more stable and responsive on the track.
The GT3 Touring is back for 2025, now featuring an active rear spoiler with a Gurney flap for a more understated look, replacing the previous swan-neck wing. It also has redesigned underbody strakes to improve aerodynamics. Inside, there are more leather upholstery options, and you can now add an optional rear seat, thanks to customer requests. The bucket seats come with a folding backrest for easier access to the back.
Porsche is also bringing the Weissach package, previously available only on the GT3 RS, to the 2025 GT3. This package includes lightweight CFRP for the anti-roll bar, coupling rods, and shear panel on the rear axle. You’ll also find this material on the roof, rear wing side plates, door handles, and side mirrors. Plus, the upper dashboard is wrapped in Race-Tex suede to reduce glare, giving the interior a sporty touch.
