Porsche is gearing up for the reveal of \u201ca particularly fun sports car\u201d, teasing online what many expect to be the first 911 GT3 Cabriolet.<\/p>\n

Rumours of a convertible 911 GT3 have circulated in recent years, and with the \u2018992.2\u2019 generation part way through its production run, it appears now is the time for the cabriolet to break cover.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ambition was to create nothing less than one of the most exhilarating driver\u2019s cars imaginable,\u201d Porsche said while teasing the upcoming reveal.<\/p>\n

A teaser image posted by Porsche shows the GT3\u2019s bonnet under a cover, and though there doesn\u2019t appear to be a rear wing, it\u2019s possible the cabriolet will be based on the wingless GT3 Touring.<\/p>\n

What are believed to be test prototypes have reportedly been spotted driving on European roads in recent months, though just how Porsche has potentially turned the track-focused 911 GT3 into a still-sharp convertible will be answered on April 15.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as if the brand doesn\u2019t have experience with making fast convertibles though: the 991.2 generation 911 featured a topless Speedster model, powered by the GT3\u2019s engine.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the 718 Cayman debuted a Spyder RS variant late in its production run, giving drivers the track-focused experience while doing away with a roof.<\/p>\n

Currently the fastest 911 Cabriolet is the Turbo S, which makes 523kW and 800Nm from its twin-turbo 3.6-litre flat-six engine with Porsche\u2019s own hybrid system, far more than the GT3\u2019s 375kW and 450Nm 4.0-litre engine which remains naturally aspirated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Porsche is gearing up for the reveal of \u201ca particularly fun sports car\u201d, teasing online what many expect…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":601110,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-601109","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601109\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/601110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
