Porsche's 911 GT3 Touring delivers an understated, borderline stealth look, and it's about to be updated.
The first members of the updated 911 range, referred to internally as the 992.2 generation, should start arriving late this year or early next. They should arrive as 2024 models though some may arrive later next year as 2025 models.
Key among the updates will be a revised dash sporting a fully digital instrument cluster, similar to what's in the Taycan andTweaks to the front and rear fascias are also likely, judging by the camouflage gear. A key change will be the integration of the front turn signals within the headlights instead of on the front fascia, as is the current case.
The headlights also get Porsche's latest matrix LED design, featuring four individual projectors instead of the single main unit used in the current design. The new design, which debuted on the 2024 Cayenne, delivers a more precise light pattern and increased brightness. It isn't clear what Porsche has planned for the mechanical bits, but a slight uptick in power is normally included with such updates. The GT3 Touring currently comes with a 4.0-liter flat-6 delivering a peak 502 hp. Power goes to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic or 6-speed manual.
Hybrid technology will be available on some variants in the updated 911 range, though likely not the GT3. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume in 2022 said the 911's hybrid system will be similar to the system in the former 919 Hybrid LMP1 race car, and not a plug-in hybrid system like in the 918 Spyder hypercar. That means there won't be a plug, and any electric motor-generator will purely be used to support the gas engine and recover energy under braking.
