The 2025 Porsche GT3 Was Revealed - Is It Too Soon To Be Excited?

[@SuperAmo87]

Man I want that touring .. what a car

[@davidkeenan5989]

Maybe the most desirable 911 now.

[@sylarzzz1]

Because 90% of the engineering work on this GT3 is to deal with all the regulations while maintain the performance

And this guy told us that we should sell our 992.1's before the .2 was revealed 😆

[@jaunenito]

I think you're overreacting...at least to this point. Porsche has made it's name on marginal changes from year to year. Sometimes it's nearly dramatic but usually not. I think this was more of a "Sneak Peak" than anything else. Specs will be dropped soon. Cheer up, man.

[@gibgo333]

Unlike iphone thats keeps saying what they did and did again and again why repeat what they did just show the changes we know what it has

[@jimsteinway695]

62% increase in 6 years is not over reacting. The forums are Pissed. Porsche has done basically nothing while everyone else is at 700hp or more . They are laughing all the way to the bank

[@khoimavlogs5161]

It's not about horse power. Porsche are never made to go straight line. If you looking for straight line performance there is a thing call Tesla. Porsche cars are made to drive, turning and apex and how the car feels and feedback when you are driving.

[@jimsteinway695]

@@khoimavlogs5161 none of the cars I care about are drag cars they’re sport cars made to go around a track, the Gallardo had 500 hp 20 years ago. I’m a 25 year 911 veteran including 3 GT3s 996,997.1 991.2. But I’m smart enough to know when someone starts charging me more and more and giving me less. Everyone is around 700 horsepower or more. It makes a difference. The corvette z06 is at almost 700. The ENTRY level corvette has 500 horsepower. The “Improvements” Porsche is making now besides the new back seat, would take a F1 driver to feel the actual difference. $80,000 in 6 years while basically doing nothing. My F150 has a double wishbone suspension, big deal. Here’s the kicker for the first time in history the GT3 is more expensive in the US than Canada. That shows you Porsche is making a pure cash grab in the US. The Canadian dollar is worth 70 cents US But the car is less expensive in Canada? Nope that’s bull. And Porsche didn’t even hide it. That’s all you need to know Nobody charges more for doing less than Porsche . The new Lamborghini replacing the Huracan will have 900 horsepower, compared to 640. Porsche gives you a back seat pad. If you can’t see that you’re in a cult.

[@khoimavlogs5161]

@@jimsteinway695 well if you comparing to Lamborghini then yes but also Lamborghini cost twice as much as GT3 but not fair to compare to Corvette is just a cheap American car with lots of power. You are buying a Porsche name is for prestige and status. No one care if you pull up into car meet with C8.

[@chuck121370]

Seems like you were wrong on the 992.1 values tanking. After this the Gen 1 cars will stabilize and go up in value. No lap times as it actually slower. And let’s see how it sounds with additional particulate filters and 4 cats.

[@marcvortexthe9386]

[@varinvajanapornsand8960]

992.1 quite a bit better all around.

[@TheGreekCarGeek]

The .1 is a completely new generation, a new chassis, interior, etc but with the previous gen engine. The .2 is historically merely a refresh with some changes to the front and rear fascia, a few interior tweaks, and the highlight being an engine upgrade. In the past, when Porsche wasn’t so hamstrung by emissions regulations, they would bore out the engine by .2 liters, in some cases increase the redline, and with the GT3, it would inherit the previous gen GT3 RS engine. In this case, that’s exactly what happened, but instead of an increase in power, they needed to detune the RS engine and add 2 more catalytic converters (4 total) for essentially a break even point in horsies… it’s not sexy to highlight that for the first time they’ve been unable to increase displacement, or horsepower from the previous gen because of emissions regulations - but look at it this way, and Porsche can’t say this, but an aftermarket exhaust should be incredibly potent on this gen GT3, and you’re essentially getting an S/T engine and I wouldn’t be shocked if a cat-back exhaust (with 2 high flow cats) doesn’t increase power to the 540hp range and with the hotter cams it’ll howl! If you add the lightweight package to the Touring, and purchase the S/T clutch/flywheel as others have already done (for $11K), you have essentially an S/T without the $300K ADM (over sticker market adjustment). Coming from an S/T owner, I think that’s amazing value for this GT3

[@jimsteinway695]

That’s not true. From 991.1 to 991.2 it had a completely different engine from the racing department instead of the regular motor with gts stuff. In the 992 the only difference in the motor is the tuning from gt3 to RS

[@TheGreekCarGeek]

@@jimsteinway695 As I said: “the .2… highlight [is] an engine upgrade,” respectfully, what’s not true about that? That the 991.1 engine was not from the racing department: While it’s true that the engine is based on the power plant out of the 991 Carrera S, it shares only a few common parts. Nearly every component, and in particular the crankshaft and valve train, were specially adapted or developed for the 991 GT3. It had multi-point electronic indirect injection, forged pistons, titanium conrods, and VarioCam variable valve timing, along with a 9,000rpm redline. Saying it’s a “regular motor with GTS (I think you meant GT3) stuff” is akin to saying a 911 S/T is a “regular 911” since its chassis is based on the Carrera platform. It’s a Porsche GT division, motorsport-derived engine through and through. As for the difference between the 992 GT3 and RS engine: Yes, the engines are similar, but the RS has higher duration, aka “hotter,” cams, making the valve overlap longer, and the engine rev even more ferociously from 6,000 up to its redline at 9,000 RPM; revamped cylinder heads were designed to provide more lubrication in high G-force turns, and they redesigned the shaft that operates each of the three throttle bodies per bank; they’re now aerodynamically profiled to speed up the flow of intake air at high revs. They also tweaked the cooling system.

[@tzetv]

@@jimsteinway695wrong - the RS and now .2 gt3 have different cam profiles

So happy I got a 992.1 vs waiting

[@brianhimmelman420]

@@brianhimmelman420 Well, I have a touring 992.1. The new touring has the plastic front which I hate and can't believe that Porsche puts that shit on 300k+ car. The 992.1 touring was limited to about 800. The reason they made the fronts the same is so they can pump out as many of either model without having to stop production(basically lower cost savings for them)

[@brianhimmelman420]

@ u can paint the front plastic lol … 992.1 was not a limited to 800 units car lol … the RS hotter cams, short gear ratio and Leightbau make .2 closer to the S/T than ur older Touring lol … peanut butter and jealous ; )

[@scotttanner1528]

This is a massive win. They did everything they needed to do by incorporating actual owners feedback. Let’s celebrate the fact they didn’t go Hybrid and PDK only. The fact they incorporated learnings from the S/T is epic, this could have gone a completely different direction. Porsche knows exactly what their customers want and how to retain its identity and legacy. This is a mid-cycle refresh, enjoy this generation while it lasts and get over it.

[@fabian116]

I agree with you. I had the privilege to put 27,000 miles in my 991.2 GT3 in the first 3 years and 15,000 miles in the first year of my 992 GT3. I was waiting anxiously for Nurburing lap time, revving more than 9k rpm. I didn’t expect that major improvements are going to be the seats. Come on!

[@caxsfSpeedster]

One of the most interesting thing is the fact that the gear ratios are shorter, and that we have now for kats. Removing some of the kats or using sport ones may increase the power to 530 hp and considering the new gear rations the .2 GT3 can potentially be much faster than the gen1

[@got_gt3612]

The only issue is tune , if you replace cats it maybe throws light (I did 200cats on my 992 gt3 with out issues but on 992 Dakar light was on )

It’s tiny tweaks compared to older gen 1 - 2’s. Feels to me like the 992.1 was too damn good to improve. And the price tag, it’s a lot more expensive than the original ones

Read the spec sheet on their website. Up on weight down on torque and slightly up on power. Four cats just to meet new emission regulation. Just chill.

[@chesspiece81]

I think the reason they didn't say much about the motor is because how much more power can they get out of an NA 4.0L flat 6 while adhering to emissions and noise restrictions?

[@SS-oj4en]

The shorter gearing was done to make up for the lower torque and heavier weight you have to spend more to get the same or less. 992.1 is the car to have.

You must be misinformed, because Andreas Preuninger specified very clearly that the manual transmission is available on both the winged GT3 and the Touring. As for the engine it has benefited of several improvements and modifications in order to comply with the ever stricter regulations, and the suspensions have been tuned according to both 992.1 GT3 RS and ST specifications. So sorry, but what are you moaning about ? 😅

[@Tunageage]

Much more available on Porsche site and other interviews. The predictions of plummeting 992.1 GT3s appears premature as the 992.2 jumped the list price $40k to $222,500!

[@darrylwoo9523]

I heard changes with 992.2 GT3 were minimal. Shorter gears, revalved shocks, carbon buckets with folding seat backs, rear seats optional on Touring. Nothing on the engine except twin GPFs and less torque. Main change? $40k increase in base MSRP!

[@leyi25shen]

Funny how you did not mention the Weissach option which is huge...

[@foxkill7]

[@KhaledAmr]

During the interview with Matt carwow, it seems they had to get this out before new regulations hits them, and it's clear it will be a 5 year production run. so as usual small incremental changes but the good thing no turbo's no motors. its obvious now the 3RS 992.2 will be turbo in some way.

[@jax1fdr]

They need another model cycle until they perfect that 6 stroke.

[@FrancescoDeDominicis-bd9mp]

Looks incredible in my opinion

[@WFO.]

Porsche raised the price by a lot to flush out the flippers. What’s your take on the major price increase?

[@ThePorscheDFense]

This Phase 2 has absolutely nothing special compared to Phase 1, and for once, I completely agree with that KZbin channel. There’s no celebration because, in the end, they know very well that there’s nothing to celebrate. They’re not proud of their product, but we can’t blame them. We must remember the European restrictions, environmental concerns, and legal obligations that forced Porsche to add not just 2 catalytic converters but 4. At least there’s still the sound this car produces. Then, adjusting the gear ratio to be 8% more efficient was a necessity, even though the car has lost top speed and 20 Nm of torque. There’s nothing special about this car. The gear ratio barely compensates for the losses caused by environmental restrictions. Maybe the Alcantara on the dashboard gives a little thrill, but that’s it. Otherwise, aesthetics alone never justify an additional 40,000 euros. You’d have to be foolish to prefer this Phase 2 over Phase 1. However, I’m pretty sure that Phase 1 won’t see any drop in resale value.

[@jimsteinway695]

If emissions is killing Porsche why is Ferrari Lamborghini and McLaren not having any issues AND with this new car it’ll be as expensive as a Lamborghini McLaren or Ferrari

[@TheGinger1]

It's a .2! It's not a new car. It's a mid life facelift. They've just taken in the complaints they've received and made updates to address them and keep it inline with the updates to the standard .2 cars. Now go and get your really big cheque book out and buy a couple of electric cars you don't want or need and suck up to your dealer in the hope to get one. I think the touring is the perfect 911 and everything you could ever want in a car.

[@michaelcook8644]

[@marcvortexthe9386]

I have a question …. for my feeling the 992.1 screams much better than the 992.2… what do you think…..?! the seats are great but… thats the only good thing…. its heavier… lower torque… and much mire expensive

[@chrisperrins9717]

For the first time in 25 years of GT3, Gen 2 is inferior to Gen 1. Same engine, same output but lower max speed and reduced torque. Iconic front sidelights gone. Iconic centre analogue tachometer gone. Iconic 918 buckets gone. Rear end on Touring now has awkward looking stick on gurney flap. Heavier due to extra particulate filter and two extra cats in complex new exhaust. Bound to impact engine sound. Base price up by £30k. On Gen 2, the only way to get back to the weight of Gen 1 is to tick the Leichtbau package, which costs £30k. All options will be around 20% more expensive. Suddenly the entry price for GT3 is £200k-plus. A rising tide lifts all boats, so Porsche has done a huge favour here to owners of previous Gen GT3s. I can only see 992.1 GT3 prices firming now as there is no point waiting 18 months for a weaker product.

[@thomasschimmeyer8715]

OK so I took the night to think on it and try to wrap my head around what just happened. They did not discuss numbers proudly because this gt3 is worse than 991.1 and here is why. Porsche GT3 release page lists the engine as a 502 hp 331lb feet torque with a 0-60 of 3.9. That is way down from 992.1 at 510 hp 470 lb feet 0-60 of 3.4. Regulations have neutered the GT3, the day has arrived. I am disappointed in this car, if you are going to drop torque by almost a third at least make it smaller and lighter.

[@kme5925]

All they do is very little changes and ask for lot of money

[@JamesKromer-c2l]

If there were significant upgrades or benefits relative to the 992.1 Porsche would surely have emphasized them. Still, no doubt, a great car but, diminimus improvements. Thus, somewhat disappointing.

[@got_gt3612]

It’s same engine with RS parts and stuffed exhaust (4 cats and 2 PF) so they bump power to 230hp but exhaust dial it down back to 503hp . Nurburgring time will be 1 sec faster (always is) but more aero and shorter gearing. O wait and $35k price increase plus weissach pac plus options you have $300k gt3. So your video about 992.1 price drop was wrong!!!! 992.1 you can replace exhaust and msrp was 200k well spec new one $300k basically same car .
