The New Manual Porsche 911 GT3 Has Been Leaked
When it comes to leaks, we’ve seen all sorts of ‘delivery methods’. There’s been hidden cameras at private events, pinched press images and even pictures of die cast models, but this is a new one on us. It’s an early look at what is almost certainly the incoming Porsche 911 GT3 facelift, thanks to some images of an augmented reality 3D model sent in to Autoblog.nl.
We’re fairly certain it’s the real deal: take a look at the comparison pic above (the pre-facelift is to the left) and you’ll see some subtle differences to the vents in the front bumper.
The rear has been tweaked too, with the bumper featuring a slightly revised diffuser element, and as further ‘proof’, the alterations match an updated GT3 test mule that’s been spied out in the wild.
We can take or leave the exterior tweaks, but the new GT3 has something new that interests us very much: the option of a manual gearbox…
Expect the 911 GT3 to be officially revealed later this year, before going on sale in 2017.

Some cars all ditch the manuals but good guy Porsche brings them back :D
Good guy Aston Martin too, it’s still a good day for manual I guess
BMW too
This is not a gearing feature.
This is a security feature
Porsche 911 GT3 gonna have a manual?
Hahaha perfect
Augmented reality cars? Pokémon Go has gone too far!!
salomondrin might have something to say about this…
Front end, anyone?
WOW! Looks brilliant! Can’t wait!
So if this is going to have a manual, then what’s the point of having a 911R?
the 911 r is pretty much the final naturally aspirated car Porsche will make, while this is also a manual but has boost
The R was made to be more engaging in other ways than the gt3 rs. Like the chassis is a little looser and similar tweaks to make it the ultimate driving machine.
SO. MUCH. WANT.
Scrap that: I NEED THIS!
