Porsche Unveils 911 GT3 S/C, the First Production Drop-Top GT3

The manual-only S/C brings GT3 hardware to a power soft top to deliver open-air performance without a big weight penalty.

Overview

  • Porsche’s 911 GT3 S/C, revealed Tuesday, becomes the brand’s first series-built GT3 convertible and is now open for orders.
  • The S/C uses the GT3’s 4.0-liter flat-six with a 9,000 rpm redline and a six-speed manual, delivering 375 kW/510 PS, 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, and a 313 km/h top speed.
  • Weight is held to about 1,497 kg through S/T-sourced carbon-fiber body panels, magnesium center-lock wheels, a magnesium-framed soft top, carbon-ceramic brakes, and a lighter lithium-ion starter battery.
  • Chassis tuning mirrors the GT3 Touring and adds the GT3’s double-wishbone front axle to an open-top 911 for the first time, with a strict two-seat layout and a fully automatic fabric roof that operates in roughly 12 seconds at up to 50 km/h.
  • Pricing starts around $275,350 in the US, about £200,500 in the UK, AU$588,500 in Australia, and R6,138,000 in South Africa, with deliveries expected in late 2026 and options that include a Street Style package and a Porsche Design chronograph; some outlets note this could be among the final naturally aspirated 4.0-liter GT3 variants before future changes.
