Porsche 911 GT3 (992.2) review

Well, that rather depends on whether you’re in Porsche’s good books and get an allocation. We suspect GT3s will be going for ‘overs’ for a little while, at least. Which is pretty scary when the basic price is £157,300.

A quick play on the configurator demonstrates how quickly that number gets bigger. Way bigger. Let’s say you want a GT3 with a wing, two seats and in the lightest possible configuration. So, you’ll need the Weissach Pack with carbon roll cage (£19,531), magnesium wheels (£13,759) and the carbon ceramic brakes (£9,087). Let’s go traditional and choose Guards Red for the paint (£1,704) and you’re up to £206,771.

Rivals? What rivals? Nothing quite does what a GT3 does. Perhaps the Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro is closest in intent and it’s way more powerful… but also heavier, automatic only and four-wheel drive. The Aston Martin Vantage is a bruising alternative take on sportscar thrills but is nowhere near as track-focussed. Nope, as ever, the GT3 is out on its own. Who would want to take this thing on toe-to-toe? Nobody, it seems.
