Porsche is celebrating a quarter-century of the 911 GT3, a model that has become an icon on both the racetrack and the road since its debut at the 1999 Geneva International Motor Show.
Over the past 25 years, the 911 GT3 has embodied Porsche’s commitment to performance, precision, and motorsport innovation, offering both racing enthusiasts and everyday drivers an unparalleled experience.

“The 911 GT3 combines lightweight construction with outstanding driving dynamics,” said Andreas Preuninger, Project Manager for GT Vehicles. “It carries the essence of Porsche’s motorsport DNA, bringing the lessons learned from the racetrack to the road.”
The 911 GT3 has evolved across four generations, consistently improving in speed, precision, and dynamics. The original 1999 model, with a 3.6-liter engine producing 360 PS, broke records at the Nürburgring, becoming the first road-homologation car to complete the Nordschleife in under eight minutes.
Each new edition of the GT3 has built on this legacy, with the latest 992 generation delivering 510 PS and featuring cutting-edge technologies such as double wishbone suspension and advanced aerodynamics.
Not only is the GT3 a motorsport icon, with countless victories at events like the Nürburgring, Daytona, and Spa, but it also remains a high-performance sports car suitable for everyday use.
Porsche has continually refined the GT3, incorporating features like Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), dual-clutch transmissions, and active rear-axle steering.
Key figures in Porsche’s history, including Walter Röhrl and Timo Bernhard, have lauded the 911 GT3 for its unmatched connection between driver and machine. As the 911 GT3 celebrates its 25th anniversary, Porsche continues to push the boundaries of what a road-ready sports car can achieve.
