Porsche’s Upcoming 911 GT3: A Closer Look at the Super Bowl Ad Reveal

Is today April 12? It appears we found an Easter egg in Porsche’s commercial for Super Bowl LIV. Specifically, the German sports-car brand subtly incorporated the next-generation 911 GT3 into the background of the ad. If you’re curious, skip to the 44-second mark and take a look for yourself.

Spotting the 911 GT3 in the Ad

Did you see it? Yes, that blue 911 positioned behind the yellow GT2 RS is no ordinary 992-series Porsche. Its distinctive features, such as a prominent rear wing atop a ducktail spoiler, striking 10-spoke wheels, massive brakes, and an aggressive front splitter, indicate that this is indeed the upcoming GT3—a fact confirmed to us by a Porsche PR representative. Don’t worry if you missed it during your first viewing; the combination of black brake calipers and a subtle chrome window line makes this race-inspired 911 model easily overlooked.

Engine Specifications and Performance

Similar to its predecessor, the new 911 GT3 is expected to utilize a naturally aspirated flat-six engine. You can anticipate more than 500 horsepower and the return of a manual transmission, which will allow the GT3 to maintain its reputation for delivering driving engagement coupled with exceptional performance. Furthermore, the aforementioned chrome window line on the Super Bowl ad model suggests that the new GT3 will likely feature a Touring trim. It is also possible that buyers will have the option to mix and match elements from both the standard GT3 and the Touring variant.

What’s Next for the 911 GT3?

We anticipate more details regarding the new 911 GT3 in the coming months, possibly as soon as the Geneva show in March. Therefore, it’s worth keeping an eye out for any additional Easter eggs Porsche may unveil that hint at upcoming variations of its iconic rear-engined sports car.
