Porsche in May revealed the first models from the updated 992-generation 911 family<\/a>, though the track-focused 911 GT3 RS<\/a> wasn’t one of them.<\/p>\n

The first of the updated 992 911s have arrived for the 2025 model year, including a hybrid GTS<\/a>, but the current GT3 RS along with the Turbo and Turbo S are all confirmed by Porsche to carry over unchanged for 2025.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our latest spy shots show a prototype for the updated 911 GT3 RS. It should arrive on the market next year, likely as a 2026 model for the U.S.<\/p>\n

The prototype features the revised taillights of the updated 911, and the heavy camouflage gear around the rear suggests a new rear fascia design likely sporting new side vents. A new rear diffuser design also appears to be present. The design at the front matches the current Gt3 RS, though this too should change on more advanced prototypes.<\/p>\n

It isn’t clear what Porsche has planned for the powertrain, but more power is normally included with such updates. The current GT3 RS is equipped with a 4.0-liter flat-6 that pumps out 518 hp, with drive sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

In the case of the new hybrid GTS, the powertrain integrates a 54-hp electric motor with the 911’s standard 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The GTS also features an electric compressor for its newly developed turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-6 engine. However, hybrid technology isn’t expected to be introduced to the GT3 RS, at least with this generation.<\/p>\n

Before the updated GT3 RS arrives, Porsche motorsports partner Manthey-Racing will introduce a tuned version of the current GT3 RS. Prototypes for this version<\/a> are also out testing and the debut should take place soon.<\/p>\n

Prototypes for the updated Turbo and Turbo S<\/a> are also out testing, and also prototypes for a potential new version that might be dubbed a Turbo S Touring<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
