The new 911 without the wing.

Published 13 September 2026 · WHV · Public-source editorial note

The Touring version of the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 removes the fixed rear wing and replaces it with a retractable spoiler. That visual restraint is not a lesser version of the idea. It is the point: a road car with much of the GT3’s engineering and less theatre in the silhouette.

A specification with a point of view

Porsche specifies a naturally aspirated four-litre flat-six producing 502 horsepower, with a six-speed manual or seven-speed PDK transmission. For the first time on the Touring package, the maker also offered an optional rear-seat system. These choices make the configuration easier to understand as a car to use, not merely to preserve.

The combination is unusual in a new performance car. A high-revving non-turbocharged engine and a manual option are qualities some future buyers may continue to seek. Yet the individual order still matters. Colour, seats, options, market allocation, mileage, maintenance and accident history can pull two apparently similar cars far apart.

Desirable is not depreciation-proof

This is where WHV resists the easy promise. A new car can be chosen with future desirability in mind, but no configuration is protected from depreciation. Paying a premium because other people are expected to want it later can destroy the very ownership case one hoped to protect.

The wiser question is whether the car remains compelling if the resale prediction is wrong. Choose the transmission and equipment that make the driving better, understand the full purchase and keeping costs, and document its life properly. A coherent car has a reason to be remembered. The market still gets the final word.
