First Drive: 2027 Porsche GT3 S/C, a Track Car You Can Drive with the Top Down
Porsche says buyers wanted a power roof and manual gearbox, while lightweight parts kept the convertible close to the GT3 Touring’s weight.
- Porsche has introduced the GT3 Sports Convertible, a high-performance open-top variant starting at $275,350, blending the GT3 Touring's mechanical interaction with roadster driving.
- Andreas Preuninger, boss of Porsche's GT division, explained the model was developed as a 'driver's car' optimized for road use, addressing customer demand for an open-top GT3 variant.
- Engineers achieved a 1497kg curb weight by deleting rear seats and using carbon-fiber components with magnesium wheels. The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine produces 502 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque.
- Initial order bank results suggest 'we should have done it earlier,' indicating strong demand, though production ends next year when Euro 7 emissions rules take effect.
- While not track-focused, the Sports Convertible maintains the GT3 Touring's agility and torsional rigidity, offering the added soundtrack that ranks among Porsche's top buyer appeals.
