The first Porsche 992 GT3 Touring MkII without camouflage has been spotted on our site. Rarely has the term "understatement" been so impressively defined as by the new 992 GT3 with Touring Package. With cutting-edge motorsport technology, consistent lightweight construction, and a thrilling high-revving naturally aspirated engine, it finds its ideal racing line at the limit.
Lightweight Package
The 992 GT3 with Touring Package transforms every journey into an experience. When equipped with the optional Lightweight Package, its performance is further enhanced by replacing selected components with lightweight elements.
• Magnesium Lightweight Forged Wheels: The 20-/21-inch magnesium forged wheels, painted silver with black central locking and Porsche crest, reduce both rotating and unsprung masses, lowering the overall vehicle weight.
• CFRP Roof: The carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof, painted in exterior color, improves the power-to-weight ratio, lowers the center of gravity, and enhances the car's motorsport character.
• CFRP Suspension Components: A carbon fiber-reinforced plastic stabilizer and coupling rods on the rear axle provide even greater precision in hairpin turns and chicanes. Additionally, a CFRP rear shelf further reduces weight, enhancing driving dynamics at the limit.
• Lightweight Door Panels: Even small details contribute to weight reduction, such as the lightweight door panels and CFRP door handles.
• Extra Short Gear Lever: The shortened gear lever ensures a more direct connection to the 6-speed GT sports manual transmission. A plaque on the center console engraved with "Lightweight" highlights the car’s motorsport DNA.
