The GT3 Touring, which is more road-focused, has one big visual difference from the GT3, which is the lack of a rear wing. The Touring model now gets optional rear seats, which require the front seats to be replaced with carbon-fibre seats with a foldable backrest to make way for passengers. The car can also be had with sports seats that are power-adjustable.

While there have been mechanical updates as mentioned earlier, the car carries forward the same flat-six engine that makes 510bhp and 450Nm of torque. The new 911 GT3 can be had with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The former does 0–100kmph in 3.9 seconds while the DCT get the car from a standstill to 100kmph in 3.4 seconds. Porsche has also done tweaks to the final drive and dampers, while the anti-dive system has also been updated to reduce pitch while braking.
