Porsche 992 GT3 and GT3 Touring Driven Back-to-Back: Wild Without a Wing? 

Great vid guys…….I was about to whine about Damon’s manual transmission bias mid-way through the review but held back with my comments. I am glad I did. This was one of the most unbiased reviews of these two cars I have seen. Excellent, excellent review. I also luv the Insider podcast. Kudos to all for great content.

Nice video. Shame they got the car specs backwards. Tourings should ALL be mandatory manuals - like the 991.2s. Winged cars are probably better spec'd with PDK. 992s are unbelievable either way.

Thanks Damon and Manny - great review.

Great video…..now if Porsche would just build these cars so we could do a new thing …….buy them

Awesome video. Haven’t seen anything yet that compares the touring side by side with the winged GT3. Way to go!

Great video! Thanks.

Facts: Winged: 317 pounds of downforce at 125 mph, and up to max figure of 772 pounds at its 197-mph top speed. Touring: 33 lbs of downforce at 125 mph, and just 88 pounds at its slightly faster top speed of 199 mph.

I found the commentary very interesting and helpful.

When the 992.1 GT3 Touring comes out it should get he same little spoiler from the regular GT3. Simply minus the wing instead of minus the spoiler as well.

Great cars they are. Followed one through NC mountain roads and enjoyed the sound of the engine in the switch backs. The GT3 winged beast needs a camera rear view like the C8.

Funny that so many people say the PDK allows them to just focus on “driving”,.. yet a pure enthusiast would say the definition of driving requires having MORE control over all aspects of the car. #manualsforlife

Nice job, guys... Hope some day you can do a comparison of the 992 GT3 Touring and the earlier version. I think the same day comparison adds a great perspective to these videos...

I drive a 992 4GTS with the PDK box and most of the time the driving is done in manual mode. My next (and last) 911 will definitely have the 6 speed manual (if it’s still on offer !). I feel you have a greater sense of involvement and ties you in an emotional way to the older 911ses. For the road, that is good enough 😎

I would by the regular GT3 and maybe do a wing delete, depends on if you notice a big difference in down force. But I love the Entenbürzel that the Touring unfortunately does not have.

The 992 looks beautiful in every trim!

Only had my gt3 touring couple months & absolutely love it I’ve got the 6 speed manual which makes it much more fun

Is the touring Iris Blue?

Great review gentlemen. It all comes down to personal preference. I want two. Wing/PDK/buckets. Touring/Manual/Sofas. Shame you didn't have them both equipped with same gearbox to make this comparison valid. Transmission changes everything. However, as you alluded to, they are likely exactly the same cars and it would be impossible to tell the difference if they both were similarly equipped and rear view mirror was removed.

Would’ve been better if both had the same type of transmission but great videos either way

Touring base price is now more than the winged gt3. I opted for the winged- if I am paying for the wing- I want the wing. Porsche probably charges $6-$7 k or more for that wing. Plus if you buy a wing delete kit the winged car has a really cool duck tail which the touring does not have. All Porsches look almost comical with that rear wing in the up position.

If I could I would buy a GT3 and Touring parts. I believe that a Touring with the ducktail of the GT3, keeping the electric spoiler, and the splitter of the GT3, is a good compromise between elegance and performance, on the road. Manual, strictly.

Great comparison. Watched the video with my 6 month old...he prefers the big wing GT3, I'm leaning toward the GT3 Touring.

I would love to know what Porsche they own?👍

Why the touring model doesn't come with 4 seats is mind boggling. Plus if everyone could have one @ normal prices would be nice as well. Base Touring in manual pls. PCA needs to advocate for a 4 seater GT3 touring model.

It‘s simply wrong to call it the more comfortable version. Porsche never claimed that

Not a wing guy so touring all the way👍👍🤦‍♂️

Who the heck wants to fly under the radar in a 1/4 of a million dollar car?

Which one is more overpriced?

Please only show cars normal people can go and buy. The way Porsche treats even PCA members regarding GTx cars is horrendous and frankly has made me consider never buying a Porsche ever again for any reason. Really....after a 993c4s and 996tt.... Porsche is so elitist now it is absurd...the cars are way too expensive now too. Most in them around here are buying them to be seen in them...not to use them.

If gt3 regular has wing and gt3 touring doesnt, why touring version sells for WAY MORE $$$?!

Video shows that both GT3's are pretty much same cars with only difference is the rear wing...
