Nice! Can't wait to see photos of the final car, the color on the PS'd pics is a bit unrealistic.

I hope it doesn't get PDK, unless it's a more intuitive setup. Manual gearbox all the way. I can't wait to see it up close.

Probably won't get the PDK since GT3 and the GT2's are supposed to be the 'raw' versions of their 911 compadres..

exactly xanavi. All track racing cars have fast gerboxes (with different ideas of construction) with paddle shifting. it makes them faster and that's what GT2 and GT3 is about, so I think that yes, they will get PDK.

@ Xanavi23:
Manual gearboxes are the fastest for good drivers, which is what the gt2 and gt3 are intended for; a good driver can double clutch as fast as the PDK; and porsche wouldn't want to sellout (themselves, not the cars specifically) on the exclusive, more potent brands of the 911: that said, my guess is the PDK will be an expensive option, the 6 speed will be standard; as for the turbo and below, the PDK will more likely be there

I installed a pneumatic paddle shifting system on a car that shifts in 0.07s. You gotta be kidding me about being able to do that with your hand/foot.

hahah, seriously I can't believe what you say. You really think that manuals are as fast as modern automatics or manuals with paddleshift? You should go to some F1 teams and tell that to them

Lol, Newbie, The PDK is a manual, its a double clutch manual that just has paddle shifters, hence the name Porsche Dopple Kuplung(PDK) that means Porsche Double Clutch. Technically its still a manual transmission it just uses Manual paddle shifters.
A human can be VERY fast, but when it comes to transmissions like the PDK and the GT-Rs which was based on the PDK as Porsche first developed the PDK in 1985 and was the first, they are faster, its something you know. Sure drivers can appreciate a stick-shift more for various reasons, and i respect that, its still slower though.
Like Kimbo said, F1 and also Le Mans race cars like the Porsche 956/962 have used these transmission at the HIGHEST level of RACING where every gear shift counts as opposed to manuals. Read a bit around the world/net/books, ya might learn something.

I wonder why it took more than 20 years from making first PDK by Porsche to actually moving that into production. Like you said Xanavi, it was 1985 when PDK arrived and I think it was group B Audi S1 that had Porsche's PDK developed specifically for Audi rallying team for the first time.

So this isn't a Direct-injection version of the GT1 block, just a bump in displacement?

It looks like they use manual only.
From porsche's uk homepage:
We have certainly kept to that rule, as the six-speed manual gearbox in the new 911 GT3 has been designed especially for high demands of motorsport.

variable valve timing now on both intake and exhaust for variocam system.

looks amazing..can any of u tell me where can i see pictures and specs of the upgraded 911 turbo with pdk..does it finally beat the gtr

That 0-60 figure is way too conservative, as is typical of porsche. If the carrera s can do it in 3.9 seconds, this, with more power and less weight, is definitely going to take less.

20hp from 200cc with natural aspiration? that's why the germans are the best -)
January 29, 2009 8:59 pm
haha, did anybody else realize that the driver is wearing BMW M3 racing colours. Think Porsche is trying to throw some hits.

1st, it is the legend walter roehrl and he wears
2nd, these are the traditional martini racing team colours not some bmw colours, he used to wear it since he started rally racing, here is a pic of him and his car, 25years ago:

The 911 GT3 is an absolute animal.
Also, to close the debate, the car has and will continue to have a 6-speed manual gearbox, not PDK, just the good old fashion "change it yourself"
