Porsche has unveiled the 2027 911 GT3 S/C, the first series-production 911 GT3 convertible and the only open-top current 911 sold as a pure two-seater. (newsroom.porsche.com) The car debuted on April 14, 2026, and Porsche says the name stands for Sport Cabriolet. It pairs the 911 GT3’s naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with a fully automatic soft top. (newsroom.porsche.com) (porsche.com) Output is 375 kW, or 510 PS, in Porsche’s global figures, and 502 horsepower in U.S. trim. Porsche says the engine revs to 9,000 rpm and the GT3 S/C is sold only with a short-ratio six-speed manual gearbox. (newsroom.porsche.com 1) (newsroom.porsche.com 2) Porsche says the GT3 S/C reaches 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and tops out at 313 km/h. The company lists curb weight at 1,497 kilograms, or 3,322 pounds, despite the power-operated roof. (porsche.com) (newsroom.porsche.com) The formula is familiar if you know the 2019 911 Speedster and the newer 911 S/T. Porsche says the GT3 S/C combines S/T lightweight parts with GT3 power and makes the package a regular-production model instead of a capped run. (newsroom.porsche.com 1) (newsroom.porsche.com 2) That changes the position of the car inside the 911 lineup. Porsche says the GT3 S/C is the only open-top variant in the current range that keeps a strict two-seat layout, putting it closer to a driver’s special than to a conventional 911 Cabriolet. (newsroom.porsche.com) Lightweight hardware is a big part of the pitch. Porsche says the hood, fenders and doors are carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, and U.S. cars get Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes as standard. (newsroom.porsche.com) In the United States, Porsche’s configurator lists a $273,000 base price before a $2,350 delivery charge, for a total starting MSRP of $275,350. The same configurator shows magnesium lightweight wheels as standard equipment. (configurator.porsche.com) Porsche is also using the launch to push personalization. The company says an optional Street Style Package will add contrasting accents and different seat trim, with availability expected from September 2026 in some markets. (porsche.com) (configurator.porsche.com) The result is a GT3 with no fixed roof, no automatic gearbox and no production cap. Porsche’s pitch is simple: take the 911’s highest-revving road engine, remove the roof, and leave the clutch pedal in place. (newsroom.porsche.com)
