Description: Porsche has already begun testing their new 911 991-Series GT3 on the snowy roads of Europe. The prototype seen here sans wing is wearing the typical GT3 front bumper and centered twin exhaust pipes. ...Add Comments10
FoxRSFeb 20, 2012 I agree with you. THE GT3 is for those drivers who goes to track days and so, so the pdk is what matters. If you want to cruise on a mountain road, that's where the manual is better. Any other version will do the job more than you'll need.
Brad WoodFeb 19, 2012 Guys, then your car is the 991 "S", fun as hell, 6-speed avail (no charge) and is fast. Will get you/us to our destination perfectly. You just are not GT3 clients. No biggie, that's why they make different models.
Mark RidenourFeb 19, 2012 Ain't nuthin like grabbing gears your own self.
Clint EdwardsFeb 19, 2012 I don't really care if it's 3/10th of a second faster, a real stick shift is fun to drive. I'd rather have fun than get to my destination 2 seconds faster
Phillip FitchewFeb 19, 2012 I dont see why people fight change so much... Paddle shifters were developed for use in F1. What about that says "slow" or "bad"? Humans are creatures of habit and sometimes it really hurts them.
Brad WoodFeb 19, 2012 Agreed Mark. I love the interaction of a manual, but I would rather have faster lap times.
Mark BoultonFeb 19, 2012 For the SERIOUS track person every tenth of a second counts, and the PDK is faster...
Igor NatsioksFeb 19, 2012 It sucks but not many people are getting manual. Around 25-30%. I geuss they are going by majority.
Vince DeMasiFeb 19, 2012 I hate how manual transmissions are phasing out like this wtf
Carlton SalmonFeb 19, 2012 Please Porsche, leave the manual, even if it's an expensive option. The manual was what made all previous GT3s and RSs great and different from their competitors. As good as flappy paddles are, there's nothing like manually changing gear yourself.
Description: The 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 should be the best one yet, as we have already seen the 2012 911 Carrera S run the Nurburgring in 13 seconds faster than the previous-generation Carrera S and hit the same tim...Add Comments3
FoxRSFeb 20, 2012 of course it will be the best gt3 yet. What would be the point if it isn't?
Brad WoodFeb 19, 2012 This new GT3 is going to be a track monster. If the 991 "S" matches the old GT3 on The 'Ring, imagine what this new one will do! On thing is for sure, it will make the old GT3 one of the best values on the used sports car market.
Max WaiteFeb 19, 2012 Best one yet except the whole PDK only thing
Carlton SalmonFeb 19, 2012 @Bob A 'wing' is a rear spoiler. If you're a Brit, like me, a wing is also what Americans would call a fender.
Justin HarrisFeb 19, 2012 Before I went on this article, I thought to myself they'd better not cover up the car with fake stuff to disguise it since we already saw the 911. Thankfully they had the same idea!
Carlton SalmonFeb 19, 2012 A GT3 isn't a GT3 without a huge rear wing. Also as history has shown us, the rear wing on the forthcoming GT3 RS will be even bigger than the 'regular' GT3.
Brad WoodFeb 19, 2012 With the new wider front track and longer wheelbase it may not get the big wing, though I can't imagine a GT3 without it.
George Lorenzo CuevasFeb 19, 2012 If you had read the article, it said this prototype was caught "sans wing" or without it. So it will have the large wing
Carlos Ernesto GarciaFeb 19, 2012 I doubt that cause this is a panamera rear wing and it looks like it flows better with car
Nathaniel YoungFeb 19, 2012 They are probably going to put a huge wing on when it goes into production
Casper Due HansenFeb 19, 2012 Love those lights! And seems like they gone away from that huge wing.
