The brand new Porsche 911 GT3 has claimed the title of quickest manufacturing automobile with a handbook transmission on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, clocking in at 6:56.294. Behind the wheel was Porsche model ambassador Jörg Bergmeister, who beat the earlier file by greater than 9.5 seconds, regardless of competing in opposition to a extra highly effective rival.
Fitted with the Weissach Bundle and a six-speed handbook gearbox, the 911 GT3 outpaced even its predecessor geared up with Porsche’s faster PDK transmission by over 3.6 seconds. Enhancements to the suspension and a shorter gear ratio helped ship sharper cornering and stronger acceleration from the identical 510 hp engine.
The lap was run on a 20.832-kilometer course beneath best spring circumstances and with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 R tires. Bergmeister credited the upgraded chassis, discovered from the GT3 RS, for the automobile’s newfound confidence on bumps and curbs.
