Before then, <a href="https://carbuzz.com/2025-porsche-911-reveal-carrera-gts-hybrid/">Porsche revealed the 992.2 911 Carrera</a> earlier this year, and as previous model launches have shown, the GT3 is always the first car of a new 911 lineup to come from the GT department.Another clue is that Porsche will reveal two variants at once, which indicates that <a href="https://carbuzz.com/news/the-porsche-911-gt3-touring-arrives-as-the-model-of-choice/">the elegant Touring variant</a> will be presented alongside the bewinged model (it's also worth noting that the GT3 is available with both manual and dual-clutch transmissions). How do we know it's not the <a href="https://www.hotcars.com/video/911-gt2-rs-vs-911-gt3-rs-superior-hardcore-porsche/">GT2 RS</a>? Simple - because that always arrives at the end of a 911 lifecycle. Also, Porsche labeled its teaser image as a GT3, so there's no doubt.<h2>What To Expect </h2>We're positive that the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated <a href="https://carbuzz.com/car-advice/your-complete-guide-to-the-boxer-engine/">flat-six engine</a> will continue to do duty in the GT3, but whether it will produce more power remains to be seen. Since the GT3 represents the purest expression of 911 performance out there, with its focus on response and engagement, we doubt that there will be much of a boost, if any.Instead, there will likely be more customization options and a few subtle updates, like <a href="https://carbuzz.com/news/porsches-analog-tachometer-did-not-go-down-without-a-fight/">the loss of an analog tachometer</a> and an engine start button rather than a key slot. "Both have become even more emotional, offer customers even more individuality, and feature innovative details," says the Stuttgart-based automaker. We'll find out what has changed on Friday.</div></body>
