Porsche has unveiled the new 911 GT3 Touring.

The new model sports a 375kW/470Nm 4-litre, six-cylinder engine and comes with a six-speed manual GT sports gearbox as standard. However, the Touring Package can also be combined with the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission at no extra cost. The package should be good for a sub-four second sprint to 100km/h and a top speed over 300km/h.

Missing from this model over the regular 911 GT3 is a fixed rear wing, but Porsche says that the necessary downforce at high speeds is guaranteed by an automatically extending rear spoiler.

Exterior details include a rear lid grille with the logo ‘GT3 touring’ located over the engine. The trim strips of the side windows and the tailpipes of the sports exhaust system are silver-coloured. These elements are finished in satin-gloss Black in the optional Touring Package exterior in Black.

On the inside, the 911 GT3 with Touring Package offers classic sports car styling with the steering wheel rim, gear/selector lever, cover of the centre console, armrests in the door panels and the door handles are covered in black leather. The partial leather interior features black stitching. The seat centre panels are covered with black fabric, and the roof liner is also black.

The 911 GT3 with Touring Package is the foundation model for the new special edition variant exclusive to Australia – the 911 GT3 70 Years Porsche Australia Edition.

Price for the 911 GT3 with Touring Package in Australia is $369,700.
