Limited-run 911 GT3 honours 100 years of the Nürburgring

Green Hell-inspired design

Buyers can choose White or GT Silver Metallic. White references the neutral colour traditionally used on race cars before sponsor liveries were applied, while GT Silver Metallic takes inspiration from Porsche Cup cars.

Green accents reference the Nordschleife’s “Green Hell” nickname, coined by Sir Jackie Stewart. Green protective film covers the front and rear sections, recalling the coloured markings once used by factory teams to distinguish cars during races.

Historic Nürburgring logos appear on the wings, while buyers can select a race number from 0 to 999 for the bonnet, doors and rear window. Its handwritten-style typeface takes inspiration from Nordschleife graffiti.

Green tow lugs are accompanied by white recovery-point arrows, while the windscreen sun strip carries gold Porsche lettering. The mirror bases are body-coloured, with green upper and lower housings.

The 20-inch front and 21-inch rear forged wheels are finished in high-gloss California Gold, with satin-black centre locks and GT3 logos. B-pillar plaques carry the edition name and Nürburgring circuit outline in California Gold.

At the rear, the underside of the large wing carries gold Porsche lettering, while its green sideplates feature gold Nürburgring emblems.

Green theme continues inside

The rear roll cage is painted green, while the driver’s lightweight bucket seat features green material visible through its perforated centre and bolsters. The driver’s headrest carries the Nürburgring logo and the passenger’s gets GT3 lettering; both pads can be removed when wearing a helmet on track.

The steering wheel mode button reads “Grüne Hölle”, or Green Hell, while the push-to-pass button and dashboard trim are also green.

Customers can choose a seven-speed PDK or six-speed sports manual gearbox, with green gear markings. Manual cars also receive a walnut gear knob similar to the 911 Carrera T.

Porsche has not announced a specific power increase for the edition. The current 911 GT3 uses a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six producing 510 PS and 450 Nm. It reaches 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds with PDK or 3.9 seconds with the manual, with respective top speeds of 311 and 313 km/h.

Optional Manthey Kit

A colour-coordinated Manthey Kit is available for track-focused buyers, bringing modified suspension, optimised braking components and an extensive aerodynamic package.

Porsche says the package increases downforce to 540 kg at 285 km/h. Reigning DTM champion Ayhancan Güven demonstrated its performance with a 6:50.853 Nürburgring Nordschleife lap.

Edition buyers can also participate in the Sonderwunsch Manthey Experience during 2027, offering a day with motorsport specialists and an opportunity to explore the capabilities of the Manthey Kit.

Manthey is based next to the Nürburgring, has specialised in Porsche GT models and racing for 30 years, and has been majority-owned by Porsche since 2013.

Matching Porsche Design chronograph

Porsche Design is offering edition buyers a matching Chronograph 1 – 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring.

Its black-coated titanium case houses the COSC-certified WERK 01.140 calibre with bilingual weekday and date displays. The rotor mirrors the design and colour of the car’s wheels, while a historic Nürburgring logo appears on the matt-black dial.

The perforated strap uses genuine Porsche interior leather with green textile backing and GT Silver stitching. The watch is handmade at Porsche Design’s manufacture in Grenchen, Switzerland.

Porsche and the Nürburgring

Porsche says it was among the first manufacturers to systematically incorporate the Nürburgring into its development programme. Between March and October, cars undergo endurance, chassis, aerodynamics and functionality testing there.

The modern Nordschleife features 73 corners and around 300 metres of elevation change, with fast corners, compressions, crests and constantly changing surfaces. Porsche says its intensity allows extensive vehicle-life testing to be compressed into a relatively short period.

The circuit has also been the setting for major Porsche records, including Timo Bernhard’s 5:19.55 lap in the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo.

The 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring is therefore intended to celebrate both the circuit’s centenary and Porsche’s decades-long relationship with the track. Only 100 examples will be offered, all for the German market, with deliveries beginning in 2027.
