Porsche 911 GT3 S/C First Drive: Does a Convertible GT3 Actually Make Sense?

We traveled to Germany to drive the all-new 2027 Porsche 911 GT3 S/C, the first convertible GT3, to find out if it delivers the same thrilling experience as the GT3 Touring. With a 9,000-rpm naturally aspirated flat-six, six-speed manual, and open-air driving, this might be one of Porsche's most exciting 911s yet.

At MotorTrend’s 2024 Performance Vehicle of the Year, we had a car that needs no introduction. The GT3 RS. The hardest, most focused version of the hardest, most focused version of the 911. Aero everywhere, carbon fiber everything, a wing so large Boeing would be proud, and a 9,000 redline… It’s got a DRS system, for god sake. Surely the best performing Porsche road car ever made, but how does it go on the track?

The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S is here—it's a hybrid. We tested the new Turbo S with launch control to get its 0-60 mph acceleration time and more. Its performance results rival the quickest supercars and hypercars, including Porsche's first hybrid, the legendary 918 Spyder. Does electric assistance make the 911 better?

The 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach is the first car we’ve ever tested to hit 60 mph in less than 2.0 seconds—and the base Turbo GT is no slouch, either! Hop in the driver’s seat with Jonny Lieberman as he dives into the jaw-dropping performance of this beastly family sedan transformed into a track-ready performance car.

What happens when a British engineering firm turns a Porsche 911 Turbo S into a 920-horsepower hypercar? You get the RML GT Hypercar — a million-dollar, carbon-bodied monster inspired by 1990s Le Mans prototypes and engineered to feel like a factory-built Porsche turned all the way up. In this first test, we drive the wild new RML GTH on both road and track to see whether this ultra-exclusive creation delivers more than just outrageous looks. With active aero, a widened chassis, custom suspension, and a twin-turbo flat-six making 920 hp, the GTH promises GT3 RS handling with Turbo S usability.

The 2026 Mercedes-AMG GT63 Pro is the most track-focused AMG GT yet. Powered by a 603-hp twin-turbo V-8, it skips hybrid tech and delivers pure gas performance with 0–60 mph in just 2.8 seconds thanks to 4MATIC+ AWD. With Cup 2R tires, carbon-ceramic brakes, and active suspension, the GT 63 Pro shines on the track—posting a 22.2-second figure-eight lap at 0.98g, even edging out the hybrid GT 63 E Performance. It even comes close to Porsche 911 Turbo S performance while costing significantly less.

For the past two decades, the Porsche Cayman has been regarded as one of the best performing 'entry-level' sports cars on the planet. Challengers have come and gone, but the Cayman has remained consistent, and consistently impressive. The latest threat to the Cayman throne is the new 2023 BMW M2. We wanted to get to the bottom of which super sports car offered the better driving experience, so we pitted these two coupes against each other in a head-to-head matchup.

The Porsche 911 Dakar and the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato are two vehicles you couldn’t in your wildest of dreams have plausibly thought would ever come to fruition.

The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is stunningly easy to drive fast, a true cheat code for both road and racetrack. At 4,386 pounds, it outweighs the Mustang Dark Horse and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, yet feels planted, stable, and shockingly quick from behind the wheel. With 815 horsepower, 664 lb-ft of torque, custom Michelin Pilot Cup 2 R tires, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, the GTD delivers relentless grip, massive stopping power, and confidence through every corner. It matches the GT3 RS on high-speed downforce turns and outperforms it in tight, low-speed corners thanks to its wide tires and advanced rear suspension. On the street, the GTD remains forgiving and composed, with adjustable suspension and active aerodynamics that make it livable. Inside, though, the $325,000 Mustang shows its weak spot — an interior closer to a $40,000 car. Still, Ford has already received far more applications than available build slots for this limited-production machine. Ford calls it “a supercar with the soul of a Mustang,” and the GTD proves it on track and on the road.

We got the numbers, and more! The 1,250-horsepower ZR1X has been through our independent instrumented testing, plus some damp track laps and a drift session. We even dusted the pavement this time. But how quick is it to 60 mph, through the quarter-mile, and around our figure eight course? Is X gon' deliver it to ya? Combining the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 of the rear-drive ZR1 with an enhanced version of the front electric motor from the all-wheel drive E-Ray, the ZR1X promises the ultimate Corvette powertrain, with the Nurburgring lap time to prove it. Watch the video to see the results, because they're not as cut-and-dry as we expected.
