How to destroy a clutch

Almost every new car is equipped with an automatic transmission, but still manual transmissions will not become a thing of the past. They just give a special feel so the drivers adore them. However, those who know how to change gears properly and not destroy the clutch are rare.

If you’ve ever wondered how to blow a clutch, well recently a video appeared on TikTok showing a red Porsche 911 GT3 whose driver is struggling with changing gears. The sound that can be heard will hurt the hearts of Porsche enthusiasts. The clutch is heard to go through difficult moments as the driver struggles with the transmission and pushes the torque into red. The author of the video assumes that the driver is the owner and that he was under the influence of alcohol after leaving the restaurant.

The Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine with an impressive 510hp (375 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470Nm) of torque at 9,000 rpm. It reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 197 mph (318 kph). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via manual six-speed transmission. It is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes, and 20-inch wheels on the front and 21-inch wheels on the rear with Michelin PS Cup 2 tires.

Porsche 911 GT3 with Manthey Racing equipment kit

German company Manthey Racing, which is upgrading Porsche racing models and 911 that can also be used on public roads, brings a special equipment kit for the current Porsche 911 GT3.

To make the fast 911 GT3 even faster, Manthey Racing has prepared a set of newly developed carbon body components such as a larger rear diffuser, which separates this car from the rest of the 992 Series. The upgrade package brings multi-adjustable suspension, improved brakes that will cope even better with the challenges of chasing the track, 408 mm front discs and 20 and 21-inch wheels, but also interesting aero covers on the rear gold OM-1 rims.

This time, the improvement did not include interventions under the hood. Thus, the Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by an atmospheric 4-liter flat-six engine with 510 hp (375 kW) at 8,400 rpm and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic PDK transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 198 mph (318 kph).

The current 911 GT3 has a lap time of six minutes and 59.9 seconds on the Nürburgring. It would not be a surprise if we soon see an improved Porsche 911 GT3 on the same track.
