Both use naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engines that spin to 9,000 rpm. The GT3 delivers 502 hp with either a PDK or a manual gearbox, while the GT3 RS produces 518 hp through PDK only, paired with more aggressive aerodynamics. Each model sends power to the rear wheels and uses a motorsport-derived double-wishbone front suspension. These cars target drivers who want a highly focused, track-ready, naturally aspirated sports car experience with minimal compromise.What's New for 2025?The 2025 model year of the Porsche 911 GT3 sports car introduces the 992.2 generation GT3. It adds aero bars from the GT3 RS to the GT3's front axle to improve downforce, as well as redesigned headlights. Porsche also introduces a new Weissach Package for the GT3, which includes a carbon-fiber hood and roof, CFRP anti-roll bars, magnesium wheels, and lightweight door panels to reduce mass. The Leichtbau (Lightweigth) package is now offered on the GT3 Touring, and optional rear seats return to the options list. Both models receive revised chassis tuning. The GT3 RS continues with its active aerodynamics and extensive carbon-fiber construction.ExteriorThe 2025 911 GT3 features a fixed CFRP rear wing as standard, while the Touring package swaps it for a retractable spoiler for a cleaner look. New aero bars around the front intake improve airflow and front-end grip.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe GT3 RS pushes aerodynamic design further with a swan-neck rear wing, fender louvers, larger side intakes, and a front splitter designed to generate race-level downforce. Its body uses carbon fiber for the doors, hood, roof, and fenders to save weight. Both models ride on center-lock wheels measuring 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear.PorscheView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorInside, the GT3 includes a 10.9-inch PCM touchscreen, a GT-specific steering wheel, and Sport Seats Plus.
