The New Porsche 911 GT3 Sounds Just As Sensational As The Old One
The facelifted version of Porsche 911 GT3 has been spotted tearing around the Nurburgring during an industry pool test session. Sounds good, no?
Judging by the gear shifts, the car you see here is almost certainly packing the PDK automatic transmission. However, it’s set to be joined by a manual gearbox-equipped version. Yep, after the PDK-only pre-facelift 991 GT3, the good ol’ stick shifter is making a comeback.
In addition to the manual ‘box option and some subtle styling revisions, power is also expected to rise. Don’t be surprised if the finished product puts out almost as much power as the 493bhp GT3 RS…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

So it’ll have a:
T-The Gearbox isn’t Mexican….? ….Nor does it wear a Sombrero? Or sport a moustache?
My name is Manuel and I find this offensive! My mustache never grows that awesome! :’(
Now once these manual GT3’s are on the market they’ll appreciate in value more then last years GT3’s
It’s not exactly a beetle now, IS IT CLARKSON?!
When you drop the beetle from a helicopter it will still beat the Porsche ;)
Im glad they’re keeping it NA
NA, like Not Available for us… cries in German
Looks like America is winning the favor
Photo of the newly styled, brand new Porsche. Looks like never before!
Nothing wrong with that
Oh come on, if you cant see the difference between the 991 gt3 and the 991.2 gt3, then you’re blind.
Souds like the old one, handles like the old one and looks like the old one,
Because it is
I do hope its covered in sausages.
No Way! I just saw this get passed by a white mx5 while it was going around! Porsche needs to get on this
Poor 911 R buyers… They paid almost half milion and then you can easily get this
Oops. Didn’t even see your comment
Won’t that devalue the 911R? That was supposed to be the last manual 911.
I was thinking the same
Last n/a Porsche 911
Last manual 911
New gt3 has 500hp
It’s like the same car in terms of stats
Yup…. but what’s the different between the GT3 & GT3RS & 911R???
The GT3 has a 3.8 Flat-Six, the GT3 RS uses a bored out version of it, at 4.0, the 911 R uses the RS’s engine, but doesn’t have the RS’s Roll-cage, or the aggressive bodywork,but has the same weight-saving measures as those of the GT3 RS(i.e Magnesium roof), also, the R has a unique diffuser and front bumper. The GT3 and GT3 RS uses a PDK, while the R gets a 6-spd Manual…
