In the interior, the 911 GT3 S/C strikes a perfect balance between purist sportiness and elegant ambience. The focus here is firmly on the driver and their driving experience. Cleverly placed details further enhance the 911’s already driver-centric design. For example, the multifunction GT sports steering wheel, with a diameter of 360 millimetres, is upholstered in perforated black leather at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions. The gear lever is shortened for a particularly sporty gearshift feel, as with the 911 S/T. The new model does not feature a rear bench seat – a first for the 911 in the Cabriolet body style. As an accessory, Porsche offers a storage box that fits perfectly into the rear area of the cabin. Just like the current fixed-head 911 GT3 (911 GT3 (WLTP)*: Fuel consumption combined: 13.8 – 13.7 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 312 – 310 g/km; CO₂ class: G), the 911 GT3 S/C is not started with a button but with a rotary ignition switch to the left of the steering wheel.
The digital instrument cluster, comprising a high-resolution 12.6-inch curved display, enhances the driving experience with a clearly structured display and operating concept. At the centre of the display is the rev counter, which features a colour scheme designed by Porsche to be especially easy and quick to read. In the ‘Track Screen’ display mode, the digital displays to the left and right of the rev counter are reduced to essential data on tyres, oil, coolant and fuel. The driver is also informed of the optimal moment to change up a gear by means of shift lights. In addition, the driver has the choice of rotating the rev counter so that the rev limit of 9,000 rpm is positioned at the 12 o'clock mark, thereby placing it directly in their field of vision.
Porsche upholsters the interior of the car in black leather as standard – including the sun visors and the A-pillar trims. ‘GT3 S/C’ lettering is embroidered in the centre of the rear bulkhead trim panel. The four-way electrically adjustable Sport Seats Plus, which are fitted as standard, feature perforated leather seat centres. The extended leather interior package is included as standard in the 911 GT3 S/C. Contrasting decorative stitching in GT Silver and door panels with elegant leather trim and quilting give the interior an additional touch of precision craftsmanship. As an option, the decorative stitching of the extended leather upholstery can also be specified in the colours Guards Red or Shark Blue. The standard Carbon (matt) Interior Package rounds off the overall sporty look and feel, featuring black trim strips with inserts in exposed-weave matt-finish carbon fibre. The decorative trims on the dashboard, door panels, centre console and the door sill guards are all finished in this style. The Black accent package, which is also included as standard, brings an even higher level of refinement and elegance to the interior.
Lightweight construction from the trim to the seats
Weight reduction also played a key role in the development of the interior of the 911 GT3 S/C. The lightweight carpets and door panels of the 911 S/T have been carried over to this new model. The interior door pull handles are made of lightweight carbon fibre and, instead of a conventional handle for opening the doors, fabric loop handles are used. This detail once again emphasises the extent to which the 911 S/C has been meticulously trimmed back to a minimal overall weight.
In addition to the standard-equipped Sport Seats Plus, lightweight carbon fibre sports bucket seats with folding backrests are also available. They combine uncompromising sportiness with long-distance comfort and everyday usability. The seat centres are trimmed in perforated leather and the seat bolsters in smooth leather. The headrests feature embossed Porsche crests. Unlike with the fixed-head 911 GT3, Porsche has omitted the removable headrest padding for use with a helmet in the 911 GT3 S/C. This detail underlines the car’s positioning as an exclusive driver's car developed primarily for winding country roads. The lightweight sports bucket feature electric height adjustment and manual in the longitudinal adjustment. A head-thorax airbag is equipped as standard, and integrated seat heating can be ordered as an option at no extra charge. An ISOFIX fastening system is also available as an option. Thanks to the folding design of the seats, the rear area of the cabin is particularly easy to access, making it easier to load luggage.
For added comfort and even greater practicality for everyday use, 18-way adjustable Adaptive Sports Seats Plus with memory function are optionally available, the side bolsters and shoulder sections of which are more pronounced. The seatbacks are painted in Dark Silver. The backrest angle, seat height, longitudinal seat position and lumbar support can be adjusted electrically. In addition to seat heating, seat ventilation is also available for the first time in a GT3 model.
