That Porsche 911 GT3 Car is one of the best cars on sale today. With the company launching The newly refreshed 911 Last month, it was only a matter of time before the update was rolled out across the range. A spy video from the Nürburgring released this week gives us a clear idea of what to expect from the latest version of everyone’s favorite 911 model.
The 2026 Porsche 911 GT3 is expected to retain its crown jewel, the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine. That’s evident by the roaring sound coming from the dual exhaust pipes mounted in the center of this test car. Power likely won’t increase drastically from the current 510 horsepower, which we think is good enough. The massive wing is also still there, albeit with a few design changes.
The exterior lights are new, taken from the lesser 992.2 model we first saw in late May. The front and rear bumpers are also new, with distinctive shapes that may or may not be representative of the final product. Porsche prototypes like this often use non-production-spec bumpers during testing, only to emerge with something completely different on the production-ready part.
The driver didn’t hold back in this track test, moving sideways and slamming on the rev limiter as he pushed the GT3 to its limits. The new car looked as competent as ever—just what we’ve come to expect from a track-ready Porsche sports car.
Judging by the speed of each gear shift, the prototype in the video is clearly equipped with Porsche’s PDK dual-clutch transmission, rather than a manual. There’s no word yet on whether Porsche plans to retain the manual for this update, but considering the majority of GT3s sold in the US are equipped with a paddle shifter, we don’t expect it to go away anytime soon.
