The Porsche 911 GT3 Touring with manual transmission is now available in California

Matt Farah, from TheSmokingTire, tested the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. It is a new model from the 922 generation.

The sixth-speed manual transmission is what distinguishes this Porsche model, which makes the GT3 Touring impressive and the finest stick shift on the market, says Matt Farah. What matters to future customers in California is that they will be able to choose between a seven-speed PDK and a six-speed manual transmission at no extra charge, as Porsche has reached an agreement with regulators. Namely, the regulators did not allow the use of a six-speed gearbox because of an outdated test procedure.

The new GT3 Touring is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 502 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque. With a weight of 1457 kg (3,213 lb), it reaches 62 mph in about 3 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 km / h), while with a six-speed manual transmission it takes 3.5 seconds to reach the same speed.

The Porsche GT3 Tournig has a new bonnet, a centrally placed dual exhaust and a new front bumper with better intake, while the rear wing has been replaced by an active spoiler. Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather and fabric, the gear lever and steering wheel are also upholstered in leather, replacing the previous plastic.

The new GT3 Touring is equipped with 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s tires, and six-piston calipers at the front.

Upgraded Bentley Continental GT3

The upgraded Bentley Continental GT3 is ready for mountain racing, to achieve the fastest time in the modified car category.

The most powerful Bentley ever produced is equipped with a large rear spoiler and other accessories created for this type of mountain race at over 4,000 meters above sea level.

The current record is held by David Donner in a Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport with a time of 9: 36.559. In the 99th annual Pikes Peak race, which will take place in June, the Continental GT3 will be driven by Rhys Millen.

Matthias Rabe said: “We are delighted to be returning to Pikes Peak for the third time – now powered by renewable fuel, as the launch project for another new element of our Beyond100 program.”

The Continental GT3 has a 4.0-liter turbo V8 engine and will use biofuel. “Our powertrain engineers are already researching both biofuels and e-fuels for use by our customers alongside our electrification program – with intermediate steps of adopting renewable fuels at the factory in Crewe and for our company fleet,” Bentley said.

Hybrid versions of all Bentley models will be offered from 2023, and from 2030 the company’s focus will be on electric models.

Porsche 911 GT3

Porsche has tested the durability and reliability of the recently unveiled new 911 GT3 model.

Porsche has always been committed to the durability and reliability of its cars. On the Italian Nardò track, Porsche tested the new GT3 model by driving it at full speed. During testing, the car covered 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) in less than 17 hours at a speed of 186 mph (300 km / h).

After 22,000 hours of testing, the 4-liter six-cylinder Porsche 911 GT3 engine proved to be durable, which was the goal of Porsche engineers. To achieve these results, the new 911 GT3 uses an oil system similar to race cars, as confirmed by Thomas Mader, a specialist in GT road engine engines at Porsche.

Although it is not more powerful than its predecessor, it is much faster and more durable. The top speed that this car can reach is 197 mph (317 km / h). The new GT3 showed its capabilities at the Nürburgring where it was 12 seconds faster than its predecessor.
