Porsche has a knack for creating sports cars that ignite passion, and the 2025 911 GT3 Touring is no exception. This driver-focused machine, a masterclass in understated performance.

At its core lies a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine, a masterpiece of engineering that sings a glorious song as it revs to its 9,000 rpm redline. With 502 horsepower on tap, the GT3 Touring delivers breathtaking performance, capable of launching from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds with the standard six-speed manual transmission. The GT3 Touring's chassis is a marvel of engineering, delivering exceptional handling and agility.

It's also performance machine that can fly under the radar while still delivering exhilarating thrills. Despite its track-focused credentials, the GT3 Touring remains a surprisingly practical and comfortable sports car. As Edmunds notes, "The 911 GT3 Touring is a car that can do it all. It's comfortable enough for daily driving, capable enough for track days, and stylish enough to turn heads wherever you go."
