As flappy-paddles took over for their ease and superior performance, enthusiasts cried out and the value of cars with manual transmissions began to skyrocket. Following the success of the manual-only 911 R, Porsche has decided to give us what we really want &#8211; an optional six-speed manual gearbox on the new 911 GT3.<\/p>\n<p>The new GT3 features\u00a0a new 5.0 liter flat-six, lifted straight out of the 911 GT3 Cup race car, which produces 500 hp. Combine that with a wet weight of only 1,430 kg (3,153 lbs) and you get to 62 mph from a standstill in just 3.4 seconds with the standard seven-speed PDK gearbox, or in 3.9 seconds with the manual. While the launch might be slightly slower, the good news is the manual will take you 2 km\/h faster, to a top speed of 320 km\/h (198 mph).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-5-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-5-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-5-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the track, the new 911 GT3 should feel even more at home, where the standard rear steering can allow for some liveliness.\u00a0Not only that, the standard &#8220;Connect Plus module&#8221; and &#8220;Track Precision app&#8221; will allow you to track your performance on your smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the\u00a0\u20ac152,416 base price to spare, you can order yours today, and see it delivered sometime after May.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-205 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-3.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-4.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tdro.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/high_911_gt3_2017_porsche_ag-4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Source: Porsche<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Photo Source: Porsche<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Video Source: Porsche<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Porsche 911 GT3 is looking better than ever, largely thanks to more power and the return of the optional six-speed manual gearbox.
