The latest 911 GT3 Touring from Porsche, which first made its appearance for the 2022 model year, has been seen testing in an updated version. This updated model seems to include minor changes and is likely part of a broader update planned for the entire 992-generation line. The updates also extend to other models such as the Carrera, Carrera Cabriolet, Carrera GTS, Targa, Turbo, Turbo S, and regular GT3.
The members of this updated 911 series, internally known as the 992.2 generation, are anticipated to be available later in the current year or early next year. These will initially be introduced as 2024 models, although some may be released later in the next year as 2025 versions.
A standout feature of the updates will be a revamped dashboard that boasts a fully digital instrument cluster. This design is akin to what’s found in the Taycan and the newly updated 2024 Cayenne.
Additionally, the spy shots of the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring facelift reveal potential adjustments to both the front and rear facades, as evidenced by the camouflage. One notable alteration is the incorporation of the front turn signals within the headlights, a change from their current placement on the front fascia.
The headlights themselves are now enhanced with Porsche’s cutting-edge matrix LED design, containing four individual projectors rather than the singular main unit seen in the existing design. Having premiered on the 2024 Cayenne, this new design offers a more defined light pattern and augmented brightness.
While specific plans for the mechanical components remain unclear, a slight increase in power is a typical feature of such updates. The current GT3 Touring, equipped with a 4.0-liter flat-6 engine, delivers a maximum of 502 hp, with power transmitted to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic or 6-speed manual.
Interestingly, some variants in the updated 911 range will incorporate hybrid technology, although it’s unlikely to be included in the GT3. As Porsche CEO Oliver Blume remarked in 2022, the 911’s hybrid system will be akin to the system used in the former 919 Hybrid LMP1 race car rather than a plug-in hybrid system like in the 918 Spyder hypercar. This indicates that there won’t be a plug, and any electric motor-generators will exclusively assist the gasoline engine and recover energy during braking.

Wow, can’t wait for these new updates, specially the LED headlights. Hope they release it soon!
the GT3 Touring already packs a punch. more power? yes please! who else is excited for this
Integration of turn signals in the headlights? I dunno, might ruin the classic look for me. But ill keep an open mind, might grow on me.
i’m not sure abot the hybrid tech in 911, seems like a big change. but i trust Porsche, they know what their doing.
Its about time Porsche added more hybrid options. Climate change isnt waiting and neither should we! Let’s hope it’s done right.
That fully digital instrument cluster like in the Taycan, sounds cool. But is it necessary? i guess we’ll see when it comes out.
