FIRST LOOK: Porsche 911 GT3 - What’s New?

[@TopGear]

Which version would you choose?

[@yama-fanboy]

The version hosted by Clarkson Hammond and May to be quite honest... especially after this ==> 12:17

[@Comlb26]

Touring with manual gearbox, backseats with PTS color (Essmann Green), keep the bright work, magnesium wheels (hopefully white if not silver) and hopefully a heritage cognac interior is offered. Sport seats (it’s a touring!). Exterior package painted. Front axle lift system. Zero assistance systems. Burmester sound system. Now can the configurator launch already?!

[@lorenzoc.5351]

@@Therealtrump544 the other brands, in order to change their design, ended up using horrendous stylistic languages. You don't change a team that wins, so I'm fine with the fact that the style has remained similar...

[@rahulmandala4930]

@@Therealtrump544 I mean, it's the 911, so it's going to have a retro modern approach to design. It's basically the definitive Icon for Porsche to the point that it became its own brand. It's basically what the Wrangler is to Jeep; Challenger is to Dodge, Bronco & Mustang are to Ford; 500 is to Fiat; Beetle is to VW...

[@riccardotomasi54]

In a world where cars have a billion hp and everything is 0 to 60, top speed and so on, listening Preuninger talks about the feeling of the car and the unimportance of the straight line speed, it’s a breath of fresh air. We need more people like this in the car world

[@leonhe3290]

I think Preuningers Beltbuckle says everything you need to know.

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who noticed it, haha. That buckle + statements like “I like problems, we all do! We need a little bit of pressure and challenge” certify him as a true engineer, and make him the “Howard Wolowitz” at Porsche, lol.

I don't give damn when it's a race car, like this one is.

[@adamk7706]

You couldn’t see anything when the analog tac was there, the screens are a much better user experience

There hasn't been an analogue rev counter in a car for more than 20 years. You're being nostalgic about a motor, driven by the ECU and the type of light hitting your eyes.

The new Touring is in noway only %85 of an S/T, thats Porsche marketing for you. More like 97% the same, especially if you spec the lightweight package.

[@jonathanquoctran]

Agreed, after the lightweight package is optioned, is there any difference with the S/T?

Does the GT3 Touring have a less stiff suspension than the previous generation and the new GT3? Something similar to the GT4 RS Spyder less stiff suspension compared to the GT4 RS. That would be great!

Why is the LeMans key not in every 992.2? Porsche knows what their audience wants

[@themichaelw]

.Every GT3 that comes out, I think "okay. In 15 years, when I can afford one, I'll get this version". But then the next version comes out and I think "well, actually, this one is better because of the more efficient aero, or wishbone suspension, or rear seats in the touring". Porsche just doesn't do it wrong.

[@STAG162]

rear seats in the Touring, with that windscreen rake and near-zero headroom, elegantly shown by Tom. actually I wanna see Andreas get in the back seats to see how deeply uncomfortable that looks.
