The Weissach package, available for the first time in the 911 GT3, offers even more custom configuration options for use on the track. In addition, the sports car comes with more extensive standard equipment and other options that further enhance its precision and sportiness.

The new 911 GT3 models feature a sharpened design in the front and rear as well as adapted aerodynamics. In both variants, the re-contoured front diffuser, the refined shape of the spoiler lip and modified fins on the underbody increase downforce and optimize the air flow. Redesigned Matrix LED headlights, available on the 911 GT3 with an optional white accent ring, combine all the light functions of the 911 and eliminate the need for additional lights in the front apron. This enables an enlarged air inlet area and a clearly structured look. In the rear, the diffuser, air inlets and rear lid have been redesigned. The rear wing of the 911 GT3 has new angled side plates.

The popular Touring package will be available right from the market launch for the first time. The 911 GT3 with Touring package dispenses with the fixed wing and thus preserves the timelessly elegant line of the 911. An extendable rear spoiler with a tear-off edge, the famed Gurney flap, and an adapted fin design on the underbody provide aerodynamic balance. The interior offers a high-quality leather interior and a classic sporty ambiance.

For the first time, a rear seat system for the 911 GT3 with Touring package is available as an option, which is a total gamechanger for the dads out there looking for the perfect family hauler and track weapon.

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid is a game-changer, a car that seamlessly blends Porsche's motorsport heritage with innovative hybrid technology. This isn't just any hybrid; it's a performance-enhancing system derived from the 919 Hybrid race car, designed to boost power and efficiency without compromising the 911's legendary driving dynamics.

At the heart of the GTS T-Hybrid lies a newly developed twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six engine, a significant departure from the previous 3.0-liter unit. This engine, combined with a 53-hp electric motor integrated into the PDK transmission, produces a combined output of 532 horsepower and 449 lb-ft of torque. This represents a significant increase over the previous GTS, translating to even more exhilarating acceleration and a 0-60 mph time of just 2.9 seconds.

But the GTS T-Hybrid is more than just raw power. The electric motor provides instant torque, enhancing responsiveness and low-end acceleration. The T-Hybrid system doesn't dilute the 911's character; it enhances it. The electric motor's seamless integration ensures that the GTS retains its signature responsiveness and linear power delivery, while the electric boost adds an extra layer of excitement.

• It's the first hybrid 911: This marks a significant milestone for Porsche, showcasing the brand's commitment to electrification while staying true to its performance heritage.

• It's faster and more efficient: The T-Hybrid system delivers a noticeable improvement in both acceleration and fuel economy, making the GTS even more capable and desirable.

• It retains the 911's character: The hybrid system doesn't compromise the 911's driving dynamics; it enhances them, providing a more responsive and engaging experience.

• It's a technological showcase: The GTS T-Hybrid is a testament to Porsche's engineering prowess, demonstrating how hybrid technology can be used to elevate performance without sacrificing driving pleasure.
