Porsche launches manual-only 911 GT3 S/C convertible with automated roof
Porsche just dropped the new 911 GT3 S/C, a manual-only convertible featuring an automated roof that opens or closes in just 12 seconds, even while driving up to 50km/h.
Inspired by the Speedster but now part of regular production, this launch comes as Porsche celebrates a record year for the 911 series, with sales up 22% in early 2026.
GT3 S/C 4.0L 502hp $275,350
Under the hood, you get a punchy 4.0-liter flat-six engine making 502hp, good for a quick 0-97km/h sprint in just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 312km/h.
Despite its fancy roof tech, it stays light thanks to carbon-fiber parts and magnesium wheels, weighing only slightly more than the Speedster.
Priced at $275,350, the GT3 S/C arrives at US dealerships this fall and promises an old-school manual driving feel for car enthusiasts.
