2014 Porsche 911 GT3

Just two years, not lack for the new Porsche 911 lineup variants, and all the others yet still GT3, a naturally aspirated meaningless stripped and prepped for track duty hothead seems more remarkable. They also have the willingness to kill 911 a few sacred cows. Just for something, it automatically comes, and I want to get used to hearing better: Porsche 911 searches, implying it would all end just PDK. In addition, the GT3 engine is not quite as amazing as it once was special.

GT3 race car can be described as a rare machine-made honest way, since its establishment in 1999, the 911 GT3 RSR racer with shared core engine components. But 2014 does not use named GT3 RSR "Mezger" flat six Hans Mezger, probably the ultimate air-cooled automobile engine, famous for strong career Porsche 917 flat-12 design engineers name. Motorsport department, the original 911 flat-six, dry sump favor and continue to improve the bottom end so stout during its development in the 1990s, 996 new water-cooled engine has been deemed unfit to race. Porsche 911 Turbo are gt2s and gt3s selling these engines, in part, would finance this work. Mezger mill is already water, chilled to the brand heritage and racing applications GT3 'added to the mythology boast a motorsport pedigree, has become a symbol of their own superiority. Mezger Porsche lore fiber, but the GT3 its connection technology, or more specifically, was cut with direct injection and PDK gearbox stable walking. Cup and the GT3 RSR race car engine on-storey soldier, put new doors on the way GT3 Carrera S is powered by a derivative of six, though.

911 GT3 9000-rpm redline, the optional carbon-ceramic brakes, and unfortunately, with no time-wasting manual transmission, all business.

GT3, while the new engine can claim a history of 50 years or race proven durability, makes the needle move in the right direction every measurable actions. At first, the 9000 rpm redline now, old GT3 600 rpm comes later, and the power of 40 horsepower at 8250 rpm and 475 to the summit. Confidence Mezger titanium connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons and also have found their way into the new GT3 attributes such as a suitable dry-sump lubrication system. Although the real magic of breath-upon followers now use finger between the cam and valve cylinder heads. Compared with the standard 911 bucket elevators, this arrangement increases the contact area between the cam lobe and follower, but there are more important followers at 9000 rpm, enabling light mass.

Passing Carrera S pound-feet of torque makes it a more. GT3 related at all speeds. At 4000 rpm shifts six-cylinder two-resonance intake manifold open pipe in the field. Flat torque curve of the power band lined tin orchestrally time, the exhaust note of the bottle, followed by a steeper route and raspy, is alive. Fuel cut if we would have to return to the straight-six right past the redline.

We will need more time to warm up two pedal transmission. GT3 sole gearbox, automatic seven-speed dual-clutch is a relentless machine with spring shift and launch the most rigorous program in a modern car. A 6700-rpm start to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and 126 mph run a lightning fast 11.2-second quarter-mile time lead. Old stick-shift with improvement of 0.6 seconds in two tests on the GT3, the PDK is no way the huge benefits of a performance-enhancing supplement no debate.
