Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package: 911 R Owners’ Worst Nightmare
That in recent times there was some speculation on certain Porsche models, well that was understoon even by stones. Leaving aside the historic car industry, which deserves a separate chapter, the brand from Stuttgart had enough to look at the market of used cars with just a handful of miles and sold for double, if not triple (or even more) than the actual price list they had once new – pros and cons about limited editions, you’d say. So, seeing a 911 R around a million had become a standard routine; how to react? The ideal move is called 911 GT3 Touring Package and is basically nothing new, as the new 911.2 GT3 is also available with manual gearbox, but in this case there is no fixed rear spoiler, which leaves room for an adaptive spoiler similar to that of a standard 911 Carrera.
It will certainly not be the end of the world for some, but will surely annoy those who have paid huge money for their Km0 911 R, looking for a sports car from Porsche but without the racing look of the RS (for example) – the GT3 Touring Package is completely aimed at driving pleasure and does not have to be seen as a mere marketing move. Presented in that of Frankfurt, it only awaits its future owners with a 4-liter and 500-horsepower 6-cylinder, obviously naturally aspirated. With rear-wheel drive only and 6-speed manual gearbox (the only option available), the GT3 Touring Package will accelerate from 0 to 100 in 3.8 seconds and will cost as much as the same GT3 with manual gearbox. Talking about, when push comes to shove, Porsche enters the game and makes the big voice (and cash in some money more) with a new model.
