Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package Hides 494 HP Under Smooth Tail
It still packs a 4.0-liter flat six, but a six-speed manual is the only available gearbox.
Khodrocar - Folks in the market for a slightly more luxurious and less outwardly sporty Porsche should fall in love with the new Touring Package for the 911 GT3. It features all the regular model’s mechanical highlights but slices off the fixed rear wing. The cabin is nicer, too.
The 911 GT3 with the Touring Package is the spiritual successor to the 911 R because the new model focuses on driver engagement over outright speed. Customers can exclusively get it with a six-speed manual with a mechanical rear differential and rear-axle steering.
The 4.0-liter flat six pumps out the same 494 horsepower (368 kilowatts) and 339 pound-feet (339 pound-feet) as the normal GT3. According to Porsche, the variant needs 3.9 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) and can achieve a top speed of 196 mph (316 kph). For reference, a six-speed version of the existing 911 GT3 reaches 62 mph in the same time but has a 199-mph (320-kph) top speed.
The Touring Package shares most of the same body panels as the standard GT3, expect at the rear. Rather than a big wing, Porsche fits a deployable rear spoiler like the 911 Carrera, but the part in this application features a tiny Gurney flap at the edge for a sporty tweak. The grille on the engine cover gets a GT3 Touring badge, too.

Silver-colored trim lends a slightly retro aesthetic by covering the side window surrounds, tailpipes, headlight washer covers, and rear Porsche logo. An optional Black Exterior Touring Package, switches these accents out for black parts.
Inside, the Touring Package uses fabric for the center of the seats and leather on the bolsters. Instead of using yards of Alcantara, Porsche installs smooth-finish leather and the material covers the steering wheel rim, shift lever, armrests, center console lid, and door handles. Black aluminum trim gives the cabin a darker look.
