Looking and driving very, very good ... but still a Turbo S is the better buy, imho.

The Turbo S does the same on the track, but with more comfort in daily use.


On the German Autobahn you need elasticity in the midrange, that this one and all other standard 911 are "lacking" compared with other high power V8 cars around.

The Turbo S with its combination of hp and torque however is top in this regard.

This is the new 911 GT3 (992).

The car still has a 4 liter naturally aspirated flat six engine which revs up to 9,000 rpm (thank god or Andreas Preuninger πŸ˜‚). It now has 510 hp vs. 500 hp of the previous model (991.2). Due to various improvements, in particular aerodynamics and chassis...

Continuous improvement!

I’ll bet 15 of those seconds are due to the upgraded Cup 2R tires! I hope they do a Touring version. What a great car! Kent

The Touring will be available in Autumn 2021.

 
 By: Pretty Boy : February 17th, 2021-11:46
My guess would be that between 5-10 seconds are due to the improved tires. πŸ‘

I'm sure you’re right...

Although the folks at DriveNation seemed pretty sure they were Cup 2Rs. I’m sure Porsche wouldn't be looking for any advantage.

as a gummy over the Nordschleife. The new GT3 992 must be an experience that wil stay forever remembered. In blue it is so nice, it is so nice, a wonder. Silver Panamera doing test rounds. 3 years ago. ...

but like all the best things it’s very hard to get, I’m hoping the colour rolls over to the GTS model later this year

Once again heavier with 10% price increase (and I don't like the hood)

 
 By: penfriend : February 18th, 2021-01:06
Will be interesting to see how they can sell it after the initial frenzy with the current economy. With the 991.2 GT3 they had some problems in the end and only the speculative buyers for the touring edition saved them.
