2027 Porsche 911 GT3 100 Years Nurburgring 992 ll
By Lorenzo Bianchi August 17, 2026
Porsche will build 100 units of the 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring for the German market, with deliveries beginning in 2027 to mark the track's centennial.
The car features green front and rear wraps, California Gold-painted forged wheels, a green roll cage, and a customizable start number on the bonnet, doors, and rear window.
An optional Manthey aerodynamics kit raises downforce to 540 kilograms at 285 km/h, a package used to set a 6:50.853 lap time on the Nordschleife.
A Track Turns 100, and Porsche Builds a Car for It
The Nürburgring hits its 100th birthday in 2027, and Porsche isn't letting the milestone pass quietly. The automaker has revealed the 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring, a market edition limited to 100 examples for Germany, all tied to a track that's shaped the brand's engineering DNA since the 1950s. Order books open in September 2026, with public presentation happening at the Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland weekend, and cars reaching customers in the anniversary year itself.
Green Accents Nod to the "Green Hell"
Buyers pick between two base colors — White or GT Silver Metallic — but the visual signature here is the green wrap covering the front section and rear trim, a callback to how factory racing teams once marked cars to tell them apart mid-race. It's also a direct reference to the Nordschleife's old nickname, the "Green Hell," a term coined by Sir Jackie Stewart. Historic Nürburgring logos show up on the wings, and a start number — customizable from 0 to 999 — gets applied to the bonnet, doors, and rear window in a hand-drawn-style font the design team says draws from graffiti found along the Nordschleife itself.
Wheels, Wing, and Details That Reward a Closer Look
The forged aluminum wheels, sized 20 inches front and 21 rear, wear a high-gloss California Gold finish, with centre-lock hardware in satin black carrying a GT3 badge. That same gold shows up on the underside of the rear wing and on a Nürburgring track-layout graphic mounted on the B-pillars. Even the tow hooks get the theme treatment, finished in green with white arrow markings pointing to the recovery points — a detail lifted straight from track-day regulations.
Inside: A Cockpit Built Around One Phrase
The cabin carries the concept through door sills, seats, and switchgear. Door sill trims are inscribed "Welcome to the Green Hell," and LED projectors throw a Nürburgring circuit outline onto the ground when the doors open. The driver's bucket seat gets green backing material visible through perforated leather, plus an embroidered Nürburgring logo on the headrest; the passenger side carries GT3 lettering instead. A GT steering wheel button marked "Grüne Hölle" and a high-gloss green dash panel round out the cabin's most distinctive touches. Buyers choose between PDK and a six-speed manual, the latter fitted with a walnut shift knob shared with the 911 Carrera T.
Performance Numbers Come From the Optional Kit
Porsche isn't quoting new output figures for the standard GT3 engine here — the performance story centers on the optional Manthey kit, which adds revised suspension, upgraded brakes, and an aero package pushing downforce to 540 kg at 285 km/h. DTM champion Ayhancan Güven used that setup to post a 6:50.853 lap on the Nordschleife, a number Porsche is using to demonstrate what the kit can do in capable hands.
A Watch to Match, and a Track With History
Porsche Design is offering a companion Chronograph 1 in titanium with a black coating, its rotor color-matched to the car's wheels and its strap using the same perforated leather and green backing as the seats. It's a fitting complement to a car built entirely around one racetrack's legacy — a circuit that's hosted Porsche testing since the 1950s and produced records from Stefan Bellof's unbroken 1983 lap to Timo Bernhard's 2018 mark in the 919 Hybrid Evo.
