New Porsche 911 GT3 Preview | Same engine, more seats!

[@logwind]

Thrilled to see it still has three pedals!

[@eugenux]

the best car just gets better and better!

[@julianhawkins9423]

And way more expensive 😂

[@eugenux]

@@julianhawkins9423 indeed; of little consequence to me, as I couldn't afford the 992.1 asking price anyway but, I can appreciate the dedication they have to keep making the best 911 possible.

[@Jay-xr3sb]

It's the same with less torque and a rear seat option that's on lesser models. Oh, and the option for waste money on a weissach pack

[@vindevhunta4905]

Manual Naturally aspirated Any gt3 is fine

[@michaelschneider-]

Never thought there would be the day... where GT Touring models are pitched as daily driver 911s. .. Luv the re-imagined 1990 era Oak Green Metallic "NEO" .... Offered as a non-PTS optioned.

[@michaelschneider-]

Copy that .... IRC the 994 and the 968 coupe in Oak Green metallic. .. The revised NEO is interesting . . . Like wise, never thought a $250K starting 911 would be pitched as "The" daily drive. I'll keep my from neu '98 Carrera S (993) ....

[@urbanstrencan]

James another great first look at the new Porsche 911 GT3, I can't wait to see you drive it and let us know how it is :) For me, the new Porsche GT3 Touring, manual in that gorgeous new green color is just perfection :)

[@CARmagazineTV]

Thanks!

[@pauln0371]

The Touring with a Manual box would be the perfect B road blaster....

[@Jay-xr3sb]

Or a 718/981 NA with an engine in the right place and the option of a convertible

[@brianhimmelman420]

@@Jay-xr3sbwith that logic why not go all the way and a Miata lol

[@Jay-xr3sb]

@@brianhimmelman420 personally, the miata would be a third car not second. its too small for me as a driver and can't fit the luggage for a weekend away with the wife. It's also front engined and sound plans a big factor for me. The 981S fully loaded was my pick. If we're talking gt3 money, I would go 458 spider or a v10 hurcan

[@brianhimmelman420]

@ my example is the delta between cars is as big a gap 981 to GT3 as Miata to 981 … you haven’t owned or extensively driven a GT3 correct? Just curious why u r posting about Boxster on a GT3 video … also the new 992.2 GT3 is not 458/Huracan money it is used 296 and 720S money

[@Jay-xr3sb]

@@brianhimmelman420 op mentioned this 911 as the perfect B road blaster, my 2 cents was that a 'lesser' car fits that bill better than a GT3. As wonderful as it is, it's over powered for a B road and you can't push the limits of its handling unless on track. Yes the gt3 costs more than the 458/huracan, but that what I would buy and pocket the difference- those alternatives offer more drama and emotional than the gts would.

[@stubailey9433]

Touring please, the better looking version. Great review.

[@meandmyrangefinder7091]

how's the central lock hub on it. ?

[@geoffclarke3796]

Kudos to Porsche for sticking with a high revving, normally aspirated epic sounding engine and giving the option of a brilliant manual gearbox (though the PDK gearbox is probably the best of its type). The changes including shorter gearing and the option of a Weissach pack on the regular GT3 all positive. Most modern supercars don't do it for me but the GT3 is an exception.

[@Jay-xr3sb]

Just get a 981s/gts

[@kristy77a]

Oh man, that particular metallic green. Perfect! Now … WHICH green is that?! (On the downside, does this 992.2 version also have the dumb ignition BUTTON instead of the ol’ twist switch?)

[@lankysudanese]

Amazing soundtrack!

[@mikelyon5595]

Love that green on the understated Touring!

[@G-MieInternational]

Great video

[@Selucus1Nicator]

The touring properly gives me the fizz

[@thomasheuer1916]

We all aspire to greatness. Thats why we are fascinated with GT3. Thats why we watch. Otherwise, why are you here!

[@Nocturnal-goose]

Was it never possible to get back seat in the normal 992.1 gt3?

[@davidemartorana4708]

No, but some people did It aftermarket

[@bill9629]

Is MANUAL available in both touring and winged??

[@davidemartorana4708]

Yes

[@pauln0371]

Nah you need one of each. PDK for track and Manual for road...👍👍

[@wasdwasdwwasd]

Christmas for automotive journalists

[@davidemartorana4708]

For some reason i was completely flabbergasted at this notification but i should have seen this car coming lol

[@charlesk7231]

That rear wing on the touring sticks out to give a ducktail look, which is amazing! 👏

[@Jay-xr3sb]

They are very good at making a flaw to 'correct' later

[@q5echo154]

Touring needs a sunroof option. No 911 should be w/o one imo.

[@johnnyboy1586]

I think they have squeezed as much power out of this engine as they can,,ilove the white with black stripe on the this car set of nicely with those beautiful gold wheels 😊

[@pauln0371]

It's not a black stripe, it's the carbon fibre that's on show. Weissach pack only...

[@lknanml]

I'd love to have the black sheep of the family 911... GT3RS body. GT3 hood (need that frunk but still like the small vents) Turbo S sport rear wing and interior, AWD and please be nice... The 4.0 engine but with a Single or twin supercharger setup and GT3 style exhaust. It would have the power (or more) of the Turbo S along with the same performance 0-60 and 1/4 mile but have enough air management from the body to Handle the track better than the Turbo S. I want that exhaust free and clear with no Turbos soaking up the glorious sound it would make. That's really the only issue I have with 911s. (Turbo models) They are crazy fast but the music out back has always been MEH.. Even with aftermarket exhausts the Turbo models never sound as fast as they look. A modern slant nose would VERY interesting.

[@danielcalixto2036]

Is that the Superman logo on his belt?

[@pete6705]

One thing I never understood, why is it so important for 911 owners to have a backseat? Unless you’re putting a baby back there, I don’t understand the point

[@anaskudo8170]

To put in extra stuffs

[@Deathscroll41]

I heard it has something to do with insurance.

[@keithjackson4985]

Some of the options on these cars are just ridiculous! There's optional seat heat on the sports seats? What? I like this, price and lack of features keep us bums away. Give me a used Cayman with a six speed and an aftermarket that won't send me to the poor house.

[@PetriTemiseva]

I wish my GT3 had heated seats. Winters in Finland can get really cold. Nothing beats driving my car with spiked tires on frozen lakes.

[@Jay-xr3sb]

This! I went 981S and its all the power, handling, sound and open top fun you need. I think people are crazy to pay up for a 911, but image goes a long way for them

[@PetriTemiseva]

@@Jay-xr3sb I agree, to a certain extent. The more fancier the car is, the lesser amount it is used for driving as intended. Most Lambos and Ferraris are driven only in front of night clubs. But, for track enthusiasts GT3 is arguably one of the best choices.

[@Jay-xr3sb]

@@PetriTemiseva if I could afford it I would join you, altbought a 458 would be my toy. All the same, I don't feel like I'm missing out, even the boxster gets enough attention

[@PetriTemiseva]

@@Jay-xr3sb Yours is a great car! Most importantly, we enjoy driving, not collecting museum pieces. 👍

[@awakethemaster]

Touring edition with 4 seat that's a great idea! It's a great idea make this car set-up for all kind of bump and terrain. Close to an off-road. Porsche it's going to make a 4 seat for the new GT-4?

[@user-ku8ip3yy7q]

Come fools give us more this year because we need passanger seat now, carbon fabric sheets used instead of plastic mirror covers!

[@kevintan2307]

Touring with a panoramic sunroof would be perfection.😊

[@shmac96]

@@zix_zix_zix Oh I know, but I was disappointed by the F80. Im sure it will grow on me but so far I feel uninspired.

F80 is ugly, and a V6.

[@chance8139]

Everything looks good except for the exhaust pipe which looks very old-fashioned.😂

[@ArnoldWinters]

The 992.2 GTS has 541 HP vs. 502 HP on the GT3. Why would you want a naturally aspirated engine when the GTS gives you a similar driving characteristic, no lag, great performance. The t-hybrid makes sense and hybrid is a performance equalizer to the GT3.

[@brianhimmelman420]

brain dead comment … apple to oranges … get a Tesla as u don’t understand the GT3 ethos

[@JorgeTorres-td4xd]

The small seats is obvious this cars are been bought by 45 year and older people who can afford this cars and they want to get their grand kids with them for a ride

20 Nm less torque, emissions spec car. Get a 991.2 GT3/RS or 992.1 GT3/RS whilst you can. The 991.2 series GT cars are peak Porsche.

While you can? They literally made thousands of them, they’re not going anywhere. Quit the drama 😂

[@VK6AB-]

@@jack073 They made a lot less and they are far less restricted.

[@cutdepiefails6596]

Yeah 2 pais of cats extra and a pair of dpf will kill any performance. If one is naughty, below all those chokers, there is a slightly improved and more powerful ST/RS evolution engine.

[@VK6AB-]

@@cutdepiefails6596 Its not more powerful, it is less powerful and has less torque than the 991.2 GT3 RS :)

[@cutdepiefails6596]

@@VK6AB- again, the engine in itself is more powerful, the package (2 extra cats) make it slightly slower. But, it's a moot point, it's a gt3 it was never about brute power.

[@darrenprior6339]

Finally Porsche has thought about the three people in the world, with privileged, Ritalin-addicted brats, who can afford a car the equivalent price of the GDP of Greece and need a place to squeeze them. Or is it for the 60 year old who knocked up the 21 yr old secretary once too often and is now stuck with the mistake? The rest of us are still wondering how we're going to afford to keep our 35 year old Suzuki in fumes as we pull up to the local Costco

[@Jay-xr3sb]

Have some ambition and stop sulking. Hardly anyone will get these, but you'll get 80% of the experience buying a 981 S boxster. Unless you dream of the attention a GT3 will get you, then grow up

[@MilenialUmum]

not suit for tall people

[@mikegregory8353]

It’s still too big for U.K. roads. GT4 RS/Spyder just be a better real world car for the non egocentric buyers.

[@cutdepiefails6596]

Lotus is not too big and is perfect in every sense bar luxury

[@Jay-xr3sb]

I think a car with a big wing on the street is quite ego centric. 981 S/gts for £35k will get you 80% of the fun.

[@Bernievids]

Superman belt buckle screams a German citizen sadly occupied by the US. try BOSS or Porsche or anything. Superman, goodness me. Im finding Porsche so contrived of late with this showman. he used to be something now I'm finding its time to take that belt off and give him a wake up. Porsche drivers going to Opera or Ballet. Yeah, Porsche has really become the wanker's brand. My family drove their Porsches and never copped the Porsche crap at servicing and so on. Toyota is fast becoming a brand that appreciated drivers and I never thought I'd say that.

[@Jay-xr3sb]

Porsche are pushing up market, I don't think they are after you and I. Still great cars used, I went with a 981 S for £35k near new condition and fully loaded. Terrific sounds and sensation of speed without losing your licence. Use an indie dealer if you don't want to be bent over.

[@refuztosay9454]

Ok great - I want to buy one. Oh oh _ there’s not one gt3 24 or 25 new car in dealer inventory in the entire USA. So - I guess it’s a big fucking joke where they design cars but the EU regulators and woke Porsche management don’t actually want any to be made and sold. Next time just do some AI bullshit and save all the cost of making prototypes.

[@zix_zix_zix]

Sorry, the only things I like about it are the manual gearbox and the NA engine; other than that, I think it is bland and boring in a time that cars like the Ferrari F80 are being unveiled..
