Default GT3 Touring Cabriolet

I can only imagine what the wingless haters will say about a cabriolet version of the Touring. And just imagine if they offer it with back seats...

As I said before... I’d give a kidney for one of these w backseats!

I'm oddly not opposed.

I mean, why not, assuming it's any good to drive? Bet it would sound good. Not a car for me, but an interesting idea—and a way for NA convertible people to get back to their fix.

It becomes more difficult to justify MT only in a Cab and it would also seem Porsche will need to determine if these GT3 variants represent a swan song or a future niche market segment. The PDK only and MT only dichotomy will rapidly wear thin and inevitably negatively affect sales if applied to increased production numbers and variants.

Hopefully the intake vents with the cab version won't suck the rear passengers into the engine bay when the driver gets on it....

You know what would be cool, a winged version.

I think it's a great idea actually.

Looks like the GTS sport design rear lid "lip" instead of the tacked on flap on the current Touring. Always wondered why that wasn't used for the Touring from the start.

They should just make more ‘regular’ GT3s for us mortals seeking cars still.
