2021 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring: what is it?
As with the previous-generation 911 GT3 Touring, the new addition to the line-up is mechanically identical to the standard 911 GT3, revealed earlier this year, but with a number of key revisions aimed at increasing its ‘driving pleasure’.
The Touring moniker was first used for a variant of the 1973 911 Carrera RS. Similarly conceived versions of the 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster went on sale in 2019, badged ‘T’.
2021 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring: design
In typical Touring style, the huge fixed rear wing has been removed in favour of a concealed, automatically extending item, while bespoke styling cues include aluminium window trims, a colour-coded front splitter, a ‘Touring’ rear badge and tinted headlights.
Inside, it’s marked out by a unique leather finish for the seats, steering wheel, gearstick, centre console and armrests, as well as black aluminium tread plates and dashboard.
