Photos of the rumored new 911 GT3 Touring have leaked online ahead of the new sports car’s debut.

Expected to make its debut at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, photos of the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring have leaked, originally from Autopresse. Although Autopresse has since taken the photos down, Instagram user @porschegt_nl has preserved them, giving us our first look at the spoiler-less GT3.

According to the original post that has since been taken down, the 911 GT3 Touring will offer only a manual transmission, just like the 911R. It will pack 500 horsepower, but has a top speed of 196 mph (316 km/h) compared to 199 mph (320 km/h).

2017 Frankfurt Motor Show Coverage

Inside, black interior will be standard and a Sport Chrono package will be offered, along with ceramic brakes and other GT3 options. We’ll learn more about the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring when it makes its official debut this week at the Frankfurt Motor Show, so stay glued to AutoGuide.com as we will be reporting live from the show floor.

    Great - another 911 variant! And a neutered GT3 at that. Major fail. Ditch the stupid center lock wheels and rear wheel steering and I'd be standing in line for one. This variation, I'll pass.

      It is also used in racing 911s (RSR) and it works.
