The Porsche 911 GT3 Touring punches above its weight class

Ars Technica drives the updated 992.2 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, which retains the track-focused naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six producing 502 hp while swapping the fixed rear wing for a deployable spoiler to preserve the classic 911 silhouette. The car keeps GT3 hardware—rear-axle steering, GT3 suspension, massive brakes—but trades some downforce for a subtler aesthetic, landing as a refined daily-drivable track car.

Background

The 911 GT3 has been a benchmark for driver-focused sports cars since 1999, with the Touring variant introduced in 2017 offering a cleaner aesthetic without sacrificing performance hardware. The 992.2 is the mid-cycle refresh of the current 992 generation, launched in 2025.
