Porsche is preparing to unveil the next chapter in its GT series lineup on October 18th as they tease us with the silhouette image you see here. While the details are tightly under wraps, all signs point toward the highly anticipated 992.2 version of the 911 GT3.
Porsche has teased the arrival of two variants of the latest 911 GT car, which we’re certain is the 911 GT3. Led by Andreas Preuninger, head of the Porsche GT department, the digital premiere will feature two familiar faces: motorsport legends Walter Röhrl and Jörg Bergmeister. Their presence alone signals the significance of this unveiling.

From what we’ve gathered, the two models will likely include the signature GT3 and its Touring variant—one with a massive rear wing, and the other, a more understated design aimed at purists, which we’ve seen in the outgoing 992.1 GT3. Both are expected to offer enthusiasts a choice between the classic 6-speed manual transmission and the PDK dual-clutch automatic.
Earlier this year, Porsche stopped offering the 992 GT3, though the GT3 RS has remained available. Given Porsche’s typical model release cycle, the GT3 is always among the first to be introduced with a new 911 generation.
The new 911 GT3 will likely retain its naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine, a key feature that keeps Porsche enthusiasts loyal to the brand. This engine, known for its sharp responsiveness and high-revving performance, is a staple of the GT3 line. While we don’t anticipate a major horsepower increase, the model’s hallmark has always been its driving engagement—not just raw power.
Porsche may surprise us with subtle updates that focus on customization and technology. We expect changes like the replacement of the analog tachometer and a switch from the key slot to an engine start button as we’ve seen in the new 911 Carrera 992.2.
For purists, the 6-speed manual will be back, giving those who missed out on the considerably more expensive and sold-out 911 S/T another chance to feel that raw connection with the car. However, for those chasing lap times, the PDK dual-clutch transmission will still be available, ensuring quick gear shifts and maximum performance on the track.

Porsche promises more than just mechanical prowess. Customization options are expected to be more extensive, giving drivers even more control over the look and feel of their GT3. With Porsche hinting at “even more emotional” driving experiences and “innovative details,” the new GT3 models are shaping up to offer both traditional driving thrills and modern technology.
Keep an eye out for the digital premiere on October 18th to see the next step in the evolution of Porsche’s GT line.
