Prepare your ears: Porsche just revealed the first-ever 911 GT3 convertible

Porsche has revealed the first-ever convertible version of its iconic 911 GT3 sports car.

Called the 911 GT3 S/C and based on the recently updated 992.2 generation of its halo model, the new car gets the same 4.0-litre, flat-six engine and 9,000 rpm rev limit as the GT3 coupe and GT3 Touring.

The first GT3 to feature a fully-automated folding roof, the S/C boasts design elements borrowed from the limited-run 911 S/T. These include the doors and distinctive front wings, which combine with a black windscreen surround to give the S/C its own look.

The S/C’s bonnet, front wings and doors are all made from carbon fibre, plus it features carbon anti-roll bars and shear plates borrowed from the S/T, along with its standard-fit carbon brakes and centre-locking magnesium wheels. Magnesium is also used in the folding roof mechanism, and there’s a lightweight lithium-ion battery that saves extra weight over a standard 911 convertible. All this helps the S/C weigh just 35 kg more than the GT3 coupe.

It has the same 510 PS (503 bhp) power output as the current GT3 coupe, along with the same 450 Nm of torque. The 0-62 mph time is 3.9 seconds and the top speed is 194 mph – but as with the rest of the GT3 family, this car is all about driving enjoyment and the sound of that naturally-aspirated engine, rather than outright performance.

Positioned as a driver’s special among the 911 range, the S/C is available exclusively with a lightweight, short-ratio six-speed manual gearbox – and it’s also the only open-topped 911 available exclusively as a two-seater, since all others come with rear children’s seats as a free option.

It’s also the first convertible 911 to benefit from double wishbone front suspension, and the rest of the chassis shares much of its sporty setup with the latest-gen GT3 Touring – quite possibly the greatest, most enjoyable car I drove in all of 2025.

Not a limited-run car, the GT3 S/C is available with an optional Street Style Package, pictured below, which Porsche says allows the car “to be tailored even more precisely to individual tastes.” So, while this isn’t a limited edition special, it’s likely that buyers will lean heavily into Porsche’s customisation options.

Frank Mosser, head of the 911 model series at Porsche, said of the S/C: “The emotive powertrain of the 911 GT3 comes into its own even more emphatically when driving with the roof down on winding country roads.”

Prices for the 911 GT3 S/C start at £200,500, while the Street Style Package adds on an extra £24,110.
