When Porsche re-introduced the exclusive 911 R in 2016, a lucky few experienced what many had desired for years: a street-oriented, wingless 911 developed by the motorsport division which utilized many of the components from their GT models. With the immense demand built up from the 911 R, Porsche capitalized on the opportunity to bring this idea into full series production with the 911 GT3 Touring Package in 2017. Based on the updated 991.2 platform, this rendition of the GT3 marked the return of the manual transmission, pairing it with a screaming 4.0-liter flat-six-cylinder engine.
The new GT3 Touring kept the six-speed manual of the 911 R and had a more restrained appearance when compared to the track-oriented GT3. It was a quick hit among Porsche enthusiasts who loved its subtle styling, thrilling performance, and engaging driving experience.
Completed in November 2018, this Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package features an extensive list of options from the factory. Finished in Paint to Sample Meteor Grey Metallic, the exterior is accented with satin black rims surrounding Porsche Ceramic Composite brakes.
The lavishly appointed interior features two-tone red and black leather with deviated red stitching extending to the steering column, door panels, dashboard, and center console sides. The remaining trim in carbon fiber, and white dials in the instrument cluster, complete the look. The driving experience is improved thanks to 18-way adjustable Sport Seats plus and a six-speed manual transmission for comfort and control. If one wishes to drown out the flat-six engine and its stratospheric rev-limit, a Bose surround sound system is certainly up to the task. Rounding off the convenience options, an extended-range fuel lift and front axle lift system are both fitted to this GT3. Just 5,425 miles show on the odometer at the time of cataloging.
Well-optioned and low-mileage, this Porsche GT3 Touring Package presents as a wonderful opportunity to get behind the wheel of one of the finest automobiles to leave the Stuttgart factory.
