Overview
The 2027 Porsche 911 GT3, GT3 RS, and GT3 S/C are track-focused luxury sports cars that all share the same 9,000-rpm naturally aspirated 4.0L flat 6-cylinder engine and either a 7-speed automatic PDK or 6-speed manual transmission. The GT3 RS ups the power from 502 to 518 hp and features active aerodynamics for optimized downforce and track performance. The new S/C is the first open-top GT3.
What’s New for 2027
There are two new trims for the 2027 911 GT3. The S/C is the first-ever GT3 convertible and has an electrically folding soft top and 911 S/T features such as a carbon-fiber hood, doors, and fenders to save weight, along with weight-saving carpets and interior door handles. It only comes as a 6-speed manual.Â
The second is the limited-edition GT3 90 F.A. Porsche, of which only 90 will be made. It celebrates what would have been the 90th birthday of the father of the 911, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, and its unique features were developed in collaboration with F.A.’s son, Mark. For a staggering $387K, you get the same hardware as the GT3 Touring, but exclusive Oak Green paintwork, satin-black Sport Classic center-lock wheels, special Grid Weave/Truffle Brown leather upholstery, a Chronograph 1 watch, and a special Porsche Design weekend bag.
Exterior
The more understated GT3 Touring has an electrically deployable rear spoiler, but the GT3 has a fixed carbon-fiber wing and rear diffuser. The GT3 RS comes with a unique swan-neck rear wing and active aerodynamics for optimal track times, and an additional front radiator in place of the frunk. The S/C features an electrically retractable soft top and carbon fiber for the hood, doors, and fenders. The changes to the limited-run 90 F.A.’s exterior are detailed above under What’s New.
Interior
The GT3s still have an analog rev counter, but it’s flanked by two configurable 7.0-inch TFT displays, and there’s a dash-mounted chronograph as part of the standard Sport Chrono package. Partially electric front Sport Seats Plus can be replaced by extra-cost carbon buckets trimmed in Race-Tex. The GT3 RS saves weight with lightweight panels and pull-strap door releases. The Weissach package saves weight with more lightweight parts, and comes with a built-in roll cage. The GT3’s rear seats are tiny, and only really useful as extra storage space.

Price Range and Best Value Trim
The 2027 Porsche 911 GT3’s price starts at $237,500, but the limited-edition 90 F.A. adds an eye-watering $150K to that – enough to buy an entire additional base 911.
| Model | Price |
| 911 GT3/Touring | ~$237,500 |
| 911 GT3 RS | ~$252,000 |
| 911 GT3 S/C | ~$273,000 |
| 911 GT3 90 F.A. | ~$387,000 |
The base GT3 and GT3 Touring are still the best value, as you get the core experience at the lowest price. The RS may be too much of a hardcore track version for most people, while you pay a $36K price for accessing the S/C’s open-top exhilaration.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- NA H6 revs to 9,000 rpm with instant response
- 6-speed manual still available in the GT3, Touring, and S/C
- GT3 RS’s active aerodynamics generate race-car downforce
- Capable on track days and daily commutes
- Build quality and residual value
Cons:
- Expensive before options, which can easily add $50,000
- GT3 RS has no front trunk
- GT3’s rear seats essentially unusable
- Firm ride on rough surfaces
Verdict
The GT3 is still one of the most rewarding track-focused supercars out there, with a pin-sharp NA flat-six engine that revs to 9,000 rpm and an available stick shift. The GT3 RS may be too hardcore for some, but there’s a whole family of GT3s now that caters to all tastes, down to the new S/C convertible, so you can pick your thrills in the flavor of your choice. The regular GT3 is arguably the pick of the bunch, suitably specced up with your extras of choice.
