Porsche reveals updated 911 GT3 for its 25th-anniversary celebration

ABU DHABI: The Porsche 911 GT3 is all set to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Originally launched in 1999 with the 996 generation, Porsche is marking this milestone by unveiling two updated variants - the 992.2 facelifts for both the GT3 Touring and the 911 GT3.

Both versions of the Porsche 911 GT3 are offered with enhanced aerodynamics boasting an upgraded rear spoiler lip, a redesigned front diffuser, and modified underbody fins. Aligning with the 992.2 updates, the GT3 models come with new headlights that elevate aesthetics and consolidate all lighting functions, allowing for larger air inlets in the front fascia.

At the rear, significant updates have been made to the lid, diffuser, and air inlets while the non-touring variant comes on its prominent rear wing with angled side plates.

In the Porsche 911 GT3, the flat-six engine retains its 510 hp and 450 Nm output and revs to 9,000 rpm with choices for a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and 6-speed manual transmission. For the manual, the 0-100 kmph times are 3.9 seconds, for the automatic it is 3.4 seconds, with both gearboxes featuring a final drive ratio that is 8 percent shorter.

Additionally, the tuned dampers lead to better control over bumps. Enhancement has also been made to the anti-dive system to minimize during braking forward pitch.

The upgraded 911 GT3 Touring has been designed for a more road-focused experience. It is available with optional rear seats and needs front seats with carbon fiber and a folding backrest for easy access. Two-seater models come with 18-way adjustable sports seats. A few other updates feature a larger front air intake and new Matrix LED headlights, and for improved downforce, it comes with enhanced aero elements.

Prospective buyers for the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 in the UAE can start placing orders later this year.
