The GT3 RS ups the power from 502 to 518 hp and features active aerodynamics for optimized downforce and track performance. The new S/C is the first open-top GT3.2026 Porsche 911 GT3What's New for 2027There are two new trims for the 2027 911 GT3. The S/C is the first-ever GT3 convertible and has an electrically folding soft top and 911 S/T features such as a carbon-fiber hood, doors, and fenders to save weight, along with weight-saving carpets and interior door handles. It only comes as a 6-speed manual. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe second is the limited-edition GT3 90 F.A. Porsche, of which only 90 will be made. It celebrates what would have been the 90th birthday of the father of the 911, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, and its unique features were developed in collaboration with F.A.'s son, Mark. For a staggering $387K, you get the same hardware as the GT3 Touring, but exclusive Oak Green paintwork, satin-black Sport Classic center-lock wheels, special Grid Weave/Truffle Brown leather upholstery, a Chronograph 1 watch, and a special Porsche Design weekend bag.ExteriorThe more understated GT3 Touring has an electrically deployable rear spoiler, but the GT3 has a fixed carbon-fiber wing and rear diffuser. The GT3 RS comes with a unique swan-neck rear wing and active aerodynamics for optimal track times, and an additional front radiator in place of the frunk. The S/C features an electrically retractable soft top and carbon fiber for the hood, doors, and fenders. The changes to the limited-run 90 F.A.'s exterior are detailed above under What's New.2026 Porsche 911 GT3InteriorThe GT3s still have an analog rev counter, but it's flanked by two configurable 7.0-inch TFT displays, and there's a dash-mounted chronograph as part of the standard Sport Chrono package. Partially electric front Sport Seats Plus can be replaced by extra-cost carbon buckets trimmed in Race-Tex. The GT3 RS saves weight with lightweight panels and pull-strap door releases. The Weissach package saves weight with more lightweight parts, and comes with a built-in roll cage. The GT3's rear seats are tiny, and only really useful as extra storage space.PorscheView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2027 Porsche 911 GT3's price starts at $237,500, but the limited-edition 90 F.A. adds an eye-watering $150K to that - enough to buy an entire additional base 911.ModelPrice911 GT3/Touring~$237,500911 GT3 RS~$252,000911 GT3 S/C~$273,000911 GT3 90 F.A.~$387,000The base GT3 and GT3 Touring are still the best value, as you get the core experience at the lowest price.

The GT3 RS may be too hardcore for some, but there's a whole family of GT3s now that caters to all tastes, down to the new S/C convertible, so you can pick your thrills in the flavor of your choice. The regular GT3 is arguably the pick of the bunch, suitably specced up with your extras of choice.2026 Porsche 911 GT3CompetitorsMcLaren 750SMercedes-AMG GTChevrolet Corvette Z06AdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jul 30, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
