Porsche has already unveiled the first models from its refreshed 992-generation 911 lineup, but the track-focused 911 GT3 RS wasn’t among them. While the initial batch of updated 911s, including a hybrid GTS, will hit the market for the 2025 model year, the current GT3 RS, Turbo, and Turbo S are set to carry over unchanged.
However, the latest spy shots have captured a prototype of the updated 911 GT3 RS, signaling its impending arrival, likely as a 2026 model in the U.S.
The prototype features revamped taillights consistent with the updated 911 series, and the heavy camouflage around the rear hints at a new fascia design with fresh side vents. There’s also a glimpse of what appears to be a redesigned rear diffuser. The front design remains similar to the current GT3 RS, though we can expect changes in future prototypes.
Porsche hasn’t revealed what’s in store for the powertrain, but it’s common for such updates to include a power boost. The current GT3 RS packs a 4.0-liter flat-6 engine delivering 518 hp to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
As for the newly introduced hybrid GTS, its powertrain combines a 54-hp electric motor with a turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-6 engine, using an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. However, hybrid technology isn’t expected to make its way into the GT3 RS—at least not in this generation.
Before the updated GT3 RS hits the market, Porsche’s motorsports partner Manthey-Racing will roll out a tuned version of the current GT3 RS. Prototypes for this model are also in testing, with a debut expected soon.
Additionally, updated versions of the Turbo and Turbo S, along with a potential new model possibly called the Turbo S Touring, are also in development.
