The already extensive range of the Porsche 911 has been expanded to include a new edition: the GT3 Touring. This version differs from the GT3 with a less radical look.
“It’s much more subtle here and yet we have all the technical elements of the regular 911 GT3,” explains Guide de l’auto columnist Antoine Joubert. The latter indicates that the GT3 Touring uses the same mechanical, suspension and steering elements.
Aesthetically it differs with its front and rear bumpers, its unique rims and the lack of a huge rear spoiler.
GT3 engine
At the rear is a 4.0-liter, six-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine borrowed directly from the regular GT3. It produces 502 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque. The 0 to 100 km/h exercise is completed in 3.9 seconds with the manual gearbox (which fitted the model).

“It’s an extremely well-calibrated manual gearbox for this car and for this engine,” says Antoine.
On the road, it emphasizes balance and breathtaking performance. In addition, the sports car is easy to drive. “For those looking for the ultimate balance and the most impressive level of performance on the track, this is the car of choice,” the columnist believes.
Rich interior
Compared to the regular GT3, the Touring is gentrified. In fact, it is possible to change the materials, the colors and a series of elements on board, all à la carte. As a rough guide, the trial had over $30,000 worth of options.

“The finish is significantly higher than on a normal 911 GT3,” specifies Antoine.
Otherwise, according to the expert, the cockpit contains very enveloping and very comfortable seats. “The driving position… it’s perfect! There is nothing else to say! Finally, Antoine mentions the beautiful presentation of the instrumentation and the excellent visibility.
