Summary
3,322 pounds makes the 911 GT3 S/C Porsche’s lightest 911 convertible, pairing a 502-hp naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with a six-speed manual and a 3.7-second 0-60 mph claim.
55 pounds over the GT3 Touring coupe, the cabriolet keeps the coupe’s suspension unchanged after Porsche engineers said spring and damper tweaks only made the car worse.
Carbon-fiber body panels, magnesium wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes help cut weight, while the roof still opens or closes in 12 seconds and top speed reaches 194 mph.
$275,350 is the base price before options, and Porsche expects limited-volume production with dealer allocations likely favoring established buyers despite no formal production cap.
The launch extends the GT3 formula into open-top driving as Porsche preserves its 9,000-rpm naturally aspirated engine under tighter emissions rules and amid speculation this could be the last pure-ICE GT3 generation.
