Porsche has unveiled the 2027 911 GT3 S/C, the first series production 911 GT3 convertible. The new model features a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine producing 502 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 194 mph. The GT3 S/C comes standard with a power-folding soft top that can open and close in 12 seconds, as well as a power-operated wind deflector. Porsche has also included lightweight components like carbon-fiber fenders, door panels, and magnesium wheels to help offset the added weight of the convertible body style.

Why it matters

The 911 GT3 S/C represents the first time Porsche has offered a convertible version of its high-performance GT3 model, giving driving enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the car's naturally aspirated thrills with the wind in their hair. This move expands the 911 lineup and provides an open-air alternative to the coupe for buyers seeking the ultimate in driver engagement.

The details

The 911 GT3 S/C is powered by Porsche's naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine, producing 502 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, sending power to the rear wheels. Porsche claims a 0-60 mph time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 194 mph, though it's unclear if that top speed is achievable with the roof down. To help offset the added weight of the convertible body style, Porsche has included several lightweight components, such as carbon-fiber fenders and door panels, as well as magnesium center-lock wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes. The GT3 S/C also features a power-folding soft top that can open and close in 12 seconds, along with a power-operated wind deflector that deploys in just 2 seconds.

  • The 2027 Porsche 911 GT3 S/C was unveiled in April 2026.

What they’re saying

“This being a GT3, you already know what it's packing in back: a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter boxer-six, making 502 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. That flows to the rear wheels exclusively through a short-ratio six-speed manual transmission, with which dexterous drivers can launch the GT3 S/C from 0 to 60 miles an hour in a claimed 3.7 seconds on its way to a 194-mph top speed.”
