3.5sec. 0-100km/h (1/10sec. slower than 458)... 7.5sec. 0-160km/h... 11.4sec. 0-200km/h... 116NM/litre...
9000RPM redline... Oh, Gosh.................. (DROOL)
 
Maximum speed in gears (and finally 7th is no longer an overdrive):
  1. 79 km/h / 9000 rpm
  2. 124 km/h / 9000 rpm
  3. 172 km/h / 9000 rpm
  4. 220 km/h / 9000 rpm
  5. 266 km/h / 9000 rpm
  6. 308 km/h / 9000 rpm
  7. 315 km/h / 8060 rpm


Dede, where did you get these figures?
 
Still find it quite remarkable how Porsche completely snubbed the manual crowd. Have they provided any reason why they aren't at least offering the 7 speed manual as an option?
 
...and a combined figure of 12,4 l/100 km, which is about what you could get from a 226 hp Volvo in the mid 90's (on a really good day).
 
Does Porsche use the high to low gear ratio on the n/a engines only?
A 991 Carrera PDK uses the same final drive ratio as a 997 Turbo PDK for instance, but there are minor differences between the ratios of two or three gears. This new GT3 however uses a completely different, shorter gearing with a shorter final drive as well.
 
I wonder why they didn't go for a hydraulic steering setup with the GT3. I understand fuel-saving is important, but for a track-focused car, the fuel loss would be negligible.

Watch that YT vid from EVo with the Porsche guy in the studio. He explains everything about the car!!! Really cool!
