New Porsche 911 GT3: 9.000rpm, Faster, More Powerful and With a Manual Gearbox. Life Is Good.
Now life can come back to normality. No more bread and water diet, no more solitary life in order to collect the money needed to buy a 911 R, what appeared to be the latest GT series Porsche coming with a manual ‘box. The new GT3 presented at the Geneva Motor Show answers the prayers of purists who clamored for a shift lever coupled to the third pedal. Behind the rear axle there is always a naturally aspirated 4-liter 6-cylinder which now delivers 500hp and 458Nm of torque, the same rear wheels can steer and the aerodynamics has been revised by the use of a new carbon fiber rear spoiler and an ultra-light front fascia.
For those wishing to deny the purest form of driving in close contact with one of the most sensational sports cars of all time, now made even more damn exciting, there will always be the choice for the PDK dual clutch, a 7-speed that lets you take from 0 to 100 kph in 3.2 seconds instead of the 3.8 required with the manual lever. Put it as you like, it does not matter, the GT3 has gone a slight update that embraces a more than welcome comeback, making it a deadly weapon for the track and for winding roads. A unique model that offers two variants so different the one to each other that will be able to quench the hunger of purists and that of the rest of the world too. This is good news.
