The Porsche 911 GT3 market has turned – Here’s what’s really happening
For months, Porsche 911 GT3 prices had been slipping, leaving buyers with more negotiating power and sellers feeling the pinch. But suddenly — and unexpectedly — the market has flipped.
Prices are rising sharply, and if you’re thinking of buying, selling, or even just tracking GT3 values, this shift could mean the difference between saving or losing tens of thousands of euros. Let’s break down what’s changed, why it’s happening, and which GT3 generations are feeling the impact.
Spotlight on the 992 GT3
When the 992 GT3 launched in 2022, it commanded well over MSRP. But like much of the performance car market, prices softened quickly. By 2023, values had stabilised — until early 2024, when non-Touring models began showing weakness again. Our last update put prices down 5.2%, and we even called it a “value-conscious buy.”
Fast forward six months, and the story has changed dramatically. Median prices for the 992.1 GT3 now sit at €276,000 for the standard model and €300,000 for the Touring. That’s a 3.8% increase for the Touring and 4.6% for the standard model this year — with year-on-year appreciation rates of 6.2% and 3.1% respectively.
And it’s not just one niche of the market. Prices are up across all model years — 2022, 2023, and 2024 — and for both high- and low-mileage examples.
What’s driving the price surge?
The data doesn’t tell the full story, but there are some compelling theories:
-
The 992.2 Price Jump – The incoming 992.2 GT3 has an MSRP roughly €60,000 higher than the 992.1’s launch price. This makes used 992.1s look like relative bargains, boosting demand.
-
Tariff Pressure – Until March this year, Porsche paid just 2.5% import tariffs into the US. Now, an extra 25% tariff on imported vehicles and parts has pushed the total to 27.5%. For now, Porsche is absorbing the additional cost — but it’s unlikely they’ll do so forever. Buyers may be anticipating MSRP hikes.
-
Market Psychology – Sellers have noticed the uptick and are pricing accordingly. Discounts on unsold GT3s have essentially vanished, and cars are still selling far quicker than the market average.
Trends beyond the 992
The ripple effect is visible across other GT3 generations — though not equally.

-
991.2 GT3 – Prices are up 7.8% (yearly: 9.9%), marking a clear break from years of stability.
-
991.1 GT3 – A smaller increase of 1.7% (yearly: 0.5%).
-
997 GT3 – Modest gains for the 997.2 (+2.3%) and a surprising +8.9% for the 997.1, though supply is extremely low.
-
996 GT3 – Essentially unaffected by the current surge, though low-mileage examples have pulled averages higher.
Should You buy a GT3 now?
If you’re value-conscious, this is a tricky moment. Buying now carries the risk that prices could fall back if the current drivers — particularly tariffs — change suddenly.
-
If the surge is due to the 992.2 MSRP increase – Prices are less likely to crash quickly, as Porsche won’t cut list prices.
-
If tariffs are the main driver – Prices could drop if tariffs are removed before Porsche fully bakes them into MSRP.
Either way, current demand is strong, supply is steady, and sellers are in no rush to negotiate. That makes this a seller’s market — but with an undercurrent of uncertainty.
Conclusion
The GT3 market is showing one of the most dramatic mid-year shifts we’ve seen in years, but it’s also unusually region-specific. US buyers are facing surging prices, while European buyers, particularly in Germany, are still in a more traditional depreciation cycle.
Long-term predictions are speculative at best. In the short term, though, it’s clear: the 992 and 991.2 GT3s are in demand, sellers have the upper hand, and bargain hunting has become a lot harder.
