Will there be a 992.2 Porsche 911 GT3 Cabriolet?

Posted: Posted:June 1, 2025

GT3 Cabriolet or Speedster?

The other day I heard from a Porsche expert that there was a rumor that a Porsche 911 GT3 Cabriolet might be released, and when I was browsing the internet today, I did see several people overseas writing that they had "heard that story (that a GT3 Cabriolet will be released)."

Some people say they heard that a GT3 Cabriolet will be released, while others say that this must mean a Speedster. Personally, I'm thinking, "Well, I guess one of them will be released" (carelessly (lol)).

So, let's consider the difference between the 992.2 model, which will be released as a Speedster like the last time, and the new GT3 Cabriolet:

The Speedster could be a two-seater, while the GT3 Cub could possibly be a four-seater.
The Speedster's soft top can be opened and closed manually, while the GT3 Cub's is electrically operated.
The Speedster is a double bubble shape, while the GT3 Cub is a regular cabriolet shape.
The Speedster's windshield shape is steeper than that of the GT3.
The Speedster will retain a slightly classic (heritage) image, while the GT3 Cub will have an image of a cool, cutting-edge race car.

Would that be an easy-to-understand difference?

I think the engine will be the same no matter what it is.

The only other option would be a manual transmission for the Speedster, but now there's a chance that even the GT3 Cub might come with a manual transmission.

The photos posted on this blog this time are of test cars that are believed to be the GT3 Cabriolet of the 991.2 type, of which spy shots were taken in 2018.

In other words, Porsche was already developing (testing) the GT3 Cabriolet around this time.

But, however.

At that time, there were rumors that a GT3 Cabriolet would be released, but the Speedster was released shortly afterwards, which meant that it was also said that the GT3 Cabriolet was being tested for the development of the Speedster, so perhaps it will be a Speedster again this time.

I'm sorry that this post doesn't lead to any conclusions (lol).

Still, I remember how badly I wanted a Speedster back in the 991.2 model year ^^ I have such fond memories.

Now that several years have passed since then, I wonder which one I would rather have, the 992.2 Speedster or the GT3 Cabriolet? It's difficult.

The reason is that, due to my personality, I have now gotten used to the extremely lazy habit of choosing Porsches, preferring electric tops (lol), and also because, among the GT3s, I feel that the coupe is better.

Having said that, as you can probably imagine, no matter which one is released, people will start clamoring again, saying, "I really want it!" (laughs).

Hello!

"It's better to open and close the top electrically" is such a timely thing to say.
Yesterday, I was sitting in the passenger seat of a Stuttgart-made Spyder, and the door started to open and close, but it wouldn't move. I was told that the door only worked about 40% of the time, so I decided to go to the dealer, but I had left it there for two months and was soaking wet. I rushed to the parking lot of the SC and was looked down upon by the people around me.
If it's a soft top, I think it's best to open and close it manually! That's definite (lol).

  Good evening. I guess this was timely.
  
  They said they were worried about what others thought of them, but if the two of them had been running with umbrellas, I think they would have been heroes and attracted attention (lol)!
  
  It certainly is frustrating when an electric door doesn't move...We once had a problem when our Ferrari California T got stuck in a really uncool position while opening or closing it (lol).

    Hello!
    
    So that's what happened with the California T. The T is actually an innovative car for Ferrari. It's the first turbo car since the F40, and it's different from the California in terms of rigidity and other features.
    On the other hand, the SL, which is supposed to open and close in 15 seconds, goes beyond imagination with each new model. My 740i's seat moves back on its own from the time it was new, and I can't reach the brakes. Even changing the seat ECU didn't fix the problem, and it was a short circuit in the harness. The X3 was also a series of surprises, and to be honest, I can't trust German cars anymore.
    Maybe I'll skip the two BMWs and go for a Defender.

      Hello ^^
      
      The seat automatically moves back so that you can't reach the brake, but it doesn't just do that at the beginning to make it easier to get in and out; it always moves back, right (lol)?
      
      It seems that the X3 was also a series of surprises, and this 60-year-old karting enthusiast has had quite a variety of experiences (laughs)!
      
      So far, the car that has given my family a series of surprises is an Italian car.

        Hello!
        
        It would be fine if it was all a bunch of experiences, surprises and funny stories, but this time when the seat was pushed back I felt like my life was in danger.
        I couldn't reach the brake and accelerator when driving at high speeds, not when using comfort access while stopped. I knew that the car would automatically stop when I pulled the parking brake, and I was on the Chuo Expressway, which had little traffic, so I was lucky. The seat did not move forward until I restarted the car. This parking brake operation is a function of I-Drive 8.0 and later with a landscape display, but it is not available on RIKA's G80M3 ID7.
        
        The SL also has a harness after all. Recently, the Cayenne, 740, Gelände, and CLS have also been used.
        I think it's more a design flaw than a harness, with the short circuit caused by insufficient length or a broken coating. If it shorts out, the seat ECU can't determine the position and needs to return to the origin, causing a message to appear. I think this is because the airbag won't deploy in the event of an accident.
        
        The brake lines of the black Carrera are also a big problem, but the boards and harnesses are troublesome. Electronics, digitalization and AI are progressing, but unfortunately Germany is a developing country in those fields, but they like new things.

        Good evening! And about this matter... ehhh!!!
        
        I assumed it would happen when I got into the car or started the engine, but it actually happened while I was driving?!
        
        That's too dangerous. Eeeeek. I'm so glad you were safe and nothing happened!

I think that for the GT series, it will probably be a lighter manual Spyder rather than an electric one, which would make the car heavier.

The ratio of GT3 Tourings to 992s is increasing, so I guess there are a certain number of people, including myself, who want naturally aspirated cars. I think this open model is targeted at that group.

  Recently, Porsche has been releasing things that have never been seen before, such as the "GT3 RS engine but with a manual transmission (S/T)" and the "GT3 with a four-seater (GT3 Touring Package)," so I wonder if the "GT3 Cabriolet" is one more thing that has yet to be seen.
  
  ...But I think that if it is released at the end of 992.2, it will probably be in the form of a "Speedster".
