Porsche GT3 RS (2026) - Wild Street Monster | Full Details

2025 Porsche 911 GT3 / GT3 RS HIGHS Naturally aspirated flat-six delivers near spiritual levels of sound and thrust, razor-sharp moves with the grip to match, functional yet comfortable cabin. LOWS RS model's ride is stiff for street use, college fund–depleting price. VERDICT The GT3 and GT3 RS deliver the type of unfiltered performance and precision typically reserved for purebred race vehicles, and we love them for that. After a brief hiatus, Porsche has slid the 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 Touring—the latter now known officially as the GT3 with Touring Package—into production as 2025 models. They join the intense GT3 RS to create the holy trinity of the 911 lineup. The GT3 and GT3 Touring feature a round of focused updates for 2025, and the GT3 RS mains the preeminent—and undeniably brilliant—track-focused pinnacle of Porsche’s consumer lineup. All feature the venerated naturally aspirated flat-six engine and elevate it to new heights. The 4.0-liter unit makes 502 horsepower in the GT3 and 518 in the GT3 RS, producing an intoxicating soundtrack all the way to its 9000-rpm redline. The chassis is a sharper version of the 911's, tuned, tweaked, and fortified with a control-arm front suspension design that Porsche says is derived from the factory's 911 RSR and 911 GT3 Cup race cars. While the rear wing found on the GT3 and the even larger wing on the GT3 RS makes it simple for even a neophyte enthusiast to pick them out of a lineup, it's an exterior detail that doesn't allow the GT3 RS to be incognito. That is what the wingless GT3 Touring is for. But the core spirit of the GT3 is impossible to ignore regardless of the packaging, a quality that makes it one of our favorite ultra-performance vehicles—one that has scorched Virginia International Raceway in our annual Lightning Lap track shootout. As one of our favorites in its segment, the Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 RS have earned a spot on our Editors’ Choice list for 2025. What's New for 2025? The 911 GT3 and GT3 Touring receive several changes for 2025, including redesigned LED headlamps, a redesigned front diffuser and spoiler lip, and modified underbody air guides for improved aerodynamics and downforce. Mild suspension geometry tweaks and components have trickled down to the GT3s from the RS, and both cars, regardless of transmission, get a shorter final drive ratio for quicker starts. A Weissach Package is available for the GT3 that features extensive use of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) for the roof and aero elements as well as specific suspension components. Leather and Race-Tex upholstery touches augment the interior. The GT3 Touring offers the Lightweight (Leichtbau) Package with similar CFRP suspension bits, forged magnesium wheels, and a lightweight battery. Finally, rear seats, unavailable in the previous year, return to the option list on the GT3 touring. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 starts at $224.495 and goes up to $251.995 depending on the trim and options.
