The Porsche 911 GT3 is back at the Nürburgring Nordschleife and the surrounding roads for a new spy video. The machine makes an impressive sound on the track.
Engineers haven’t changed much about the 911 GT3 since we last saw it in the ‘Ring’. Compared to the standard Carrera model, the front end gains a fascia with a wide center opening and vertical corner entries. The revised hood has a pair of vents at the tip of the nose.
At the other extreme, Porsche installs a massive wing on the rear deck. It has a gooseneck mount that gives the piece even more visual weight. There’s also a duck-tail spoiler at the rear for a little more downforce. A couple of circular exhaust vents emerge from under the center of the bumper, and there’s a diffuser on either side of the pipes.

The new GT3 is reportedly left with a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine. However, upgrades to the engine are supposed to drive the output to around 550 horsepower (410 kilowatts), compared to 520 hp (387 kW) from the previous 911 GT3 RS.
If the aggressive look of having a huge wing isn’t your style, then the more understated 911 GT3 Touring (spy photos in the gallery above) is in development, too. It has the same front fascia and ventilated hood as in this video. However, the model uses the Carrera’s tail with an active spoiler that tilts upward at higher speeds.
We don’t know yet when the new Porsche 911 GT3 will debut, but we expect a presentation before the end of the year. Given the coronavirus pandemic, look for the premiere online.
