It is not a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. It is a GT3 ‘with Touring package’ and while you may consider the difference purely semantic, I do not. A GT3 Touring suggests another model in the GT3 line up, like the GT3 RS. A GT3 ‘with Touring package’ implies something else entirely: a GT3 first, second and third, just with additional or alternative equipment externally applied and not designed in. Like a winter, technology or any other package you might find on an options list.
