Porsche just gave our Porsche mechanics an early Christmas present.
The company unveiled the new 911 GT3 with Touring Package ahead of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. It essentially turns the GT3 into a more affordable 911R.
So yeah, we’re fattening our piggy banks and writing an email to Santa.
As any Porsche or European car enthusiast knows, Porsche 911Rs have been hard to come by, ever since Porsche introduced the limited edition 911R in 2016.
“For 911 fanatics, it was an oasis of purity in an age of turbo engines, twin-clutch gear boxes, and all-wheel-drive.
The 991 911R production cars soon became harder to come by than Porsche’s multi-million dollar 918 hypercar, leaving many of the brand’s fans high and dry.”
911s Going for 2X Sticker Price
As Business Insider points out, Porsche 911Rs had been going at auction sites for nearly double their original sticker price of nearly $185,000. And the piggy banks at our auto garage simply aren’t that fat, even with the scheduled maintenance plan.
The touring package of the GT3 starts at $143,000. You can order now with delivery expected in early 2018.
