We don’t spend a ton of time talking about six-figure sports cars here at TTAC, but a new Porsche 911 is worth a look. The automaker recently announced the updated 2025 911 GT3, which lands with a revised suspension system, sharper styling, and improved aerodynamic bodywork.

The $224,495 – that’s just the starting price before any options – GT3 is scheduled for release in the summer of 2025. It’s powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six-cylinder engine producing 502 horsepower – good for a top speed of 195 mph and a 0-60 mph time of just over three seconds.

A new front diffuser and massaged underbody shapes help improve downforce and smooth airflow over the car’s body. The daytime running lights are now integrated with the headlight units to free up space for larger air intakes, and the rear of the car features a new diffuser shape.

This being Porsche, it’s not hard to push the car’s almost quarter-million-dollar price tag higher with options. The Touring Package deletes the fixed rear wing and adds an active rear spoiler and more underbody aero components. The automaker will also offer the Weissach Package for the first time in a GT3. The lightweight options group brings carbon fiber bodywork and other components that cut weight and improve performance.

Of course, the GT3’s final price depends completely on the dealer. Most new Porsche buyers have a hard time finding a dealer with an allocation to build a car, and those that do tend to charge dearly for the privilege.

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Big Al from Oz gidday mites how are yall feelin today? Want to have a barbie? We are right here gettin dee fire ready
Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
