2024 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring in Monterey, California

Chassis No. WP0AC2A93RS263377

After producing one of the most highly anticipated and collectible 911 models in recent memory-the 2016 911 R-Porsche carried forward the ethos of that purist icon into the development of the new 992-generation 911 GT3 Touring. Like its predecessors, the GT3 Touring was conceived for those who place a priority on dynamic roadgoing performance and mechanical engagement over aerodynamic efficiency to realize ten tenths level performance at the racetrack. Porsche engineered the GT3 with extensive lightweight materials, motorsport-derived aerodynamics, and a double-wishbone front axle adapted from the 911 RSR to deliver uncompromising handling.

At its core is a high-revving, naturally aspirated flat-six engine shared with the GT3 Cup car, producing just over 500 horsepower with razor-sharp throttle response. For those preferring subtlety over spectacle, Porsche itself describes the Touring Package that removes the rear wing in favor of a more understated appearance as "not instantly recognizable to everyone on the road, but that is precisely what increases its puristic appeal." While Porsche's lightning-quick PDK transmission remains available, enthusiasts gravitated to the six-speed GT Sport manual transmission-similar to the unit found in the 911 R-offered at no additional cost, reinforcing the GT3 Touring's mission as a modern, analog driver's machine.

It is to be expected that the combination of GT3 performance, a six-speed manual, and subtle looks caused many to rush to the dealership to place an order or change any existing one! With an allocation in hand, nearly all inquired about the oversubscribed Paint to Sample (PTS) option opening up a historical vault of 181 colors that included Yachting Blue Metallic as seen on this example. Completed in September 2023 and delivered in early 2024 to Porsche White Plains, this GT3 Touring not only boasts the $12,830 PTS option but the engaging six-speed GT Sport manual transmission as well. Further factory fitted options include Front Axle Lift, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) with Calipers in Yellow, a Carbon Fiber Roof, LED headlights in Black including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), Chrono Package, BOSE Surround Sound System, 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, Illuminated Door-Sill Guards in Black Brushed Aluminum, and more. Furthermore, the Black leather interior with fabric seat centers features five separate Z-options for Deviated Stitching in Racing Yellow. In fact, according to the window sticker, just over $51,000 was spent on additional extras pushing the MSRP to $237,680.00.

As a single owner example, the car has seen no less than four service visits to Porsche White Plains, the most recent of which, at 423 miles, included an inspection and 10,000-mile maintenance. Today this well-optioned Paint to Sample GT3 Touring features under 500 miles and remains in near "as delivered" condition. Delivering a rarely seen combination of engagement and usability, the 992-generation GT3 Touring has emerged as one of the most highly praised 911s ever created and well-specified examples such as this have emerged as one of the most collectible modern Porsches.
