The new 2026 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring turned out to be both highly coveted and, for one owner, still not quite enough. On January 3, 2026, a listing on Cars & Bids climbed to a hefty $356,000—$44,620 over its original price of $311,380. Yet the seller, who had purchased the sports car a year earlier, decided that wasn’t sufficient and declined to complete the sale.

This was a near-new example showing just 70 miles (110 km), paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and an options tally of $76,000. Power comes from a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with 502 hp, good for a 0–100 km/h sprint in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 312 km/h.

The build follows a weight-saving formula: carbon-fiber elements, magnesium wheels, ceramic brakes, a Bose audio system, distinctive interior trim, and even a Porsche Design GT watch. Condition is described as flawless—no chips, scratches, or signs of wear. It carries a clean Arizona title and wears a refined Slate Grey Neo finish. Despite its rarity and exclusivity, the seller’s high expectations ultimately blocked the deal.

The Porsche 911 GT3 Touring is among the most coveted models for collectors, but even halo cars have to align with market realities. For a delivery-mile Touring with a manual and such a deep spec, $356,000 reads like a strong result; turning it down looks like a calculated gamble that the next round of bidding will be even hotter. That kind of offer doesn’t land on the table every day.
