Track-day special still occupies a unique position in the market, as a wonderful circuit and road car
There might not be a more sought-after performance derivative anywhere else in motordom than the Porsche 911 GT3.The model was almost an afterthought when it made its debut on the 996-generation 911 in 1999. But on every update of 911 since then it has been a penned-in performance model, intended to be at home on a race circuit as it is on the road, and able to go from one to the other with nothing more than a cursory check of the fuel level. Porsches are kind on consumables even when driven really hard.Here comes the latest version, the mid life revision or in Porsche geek-speak the ‘.2’ update of the 992 generation 911, which arrived in January 2025.If you can’t spot much difference from the model that arrived in 2021, don’t be alarmed, there are vast numbers of small details that have been changed under the skin, and as we’ll see, they keep the GT3 in a unique position in the automotive sphere.
