500hp Porsche GT3RS 4.0 LE. The final 997.now official with pics, video & micro site

Driven lots of cars with paddles, haven't driven a real dual clutch. I don't debate for an instant that it works amazingly, but my beef with it isn't about that

Naw, I hear you. Not trying to change your opinion on them either. Was just curious if you'd had the chance to man-handle a dual clutch before.

Like I said, they're fun, just in a different way. Still refreshing to row through the gears of a 6MT tho, and it's hard to beat the satisfaction of a perfect manual rev-match. Cant argue that.
 
It's a great alternative to a slushbox, but, if it were my money, I'd take the manual everytime! To each his own though... like I said, there's no debating they're 'better' at making a car go fast

Fun is relative. Flicking a button of shift a knob changes nothing, again IMO, the fun of driving.

The kid on the right with the "DSG" is a fucking queer and he just has 1 speed, he isn't fucking doing anything. The other kid is having a blast. (Even if they pretend he's not.)

all those are wrong... but yeah, driving a paddle shift isn't as involved as a manual... BUT it is faster. and that's what counts.

+rep
Ya dsg is faster no arguing but nowhere near as fun IMO.
 
enjoy
The motorsport-derived 4.0-liter engine, already the highest displacement 911 engine ever, also features the highest per-liter output -- 125 horsepower (hp) per liter -- from a naturally aspirated Porsche flat-six engine. The engine uses forged pistons, the connecting rods are fashioned from titanium, and the crankshaft has been lifted unchanged from the 911 GT3 RSR race car. It achieves its maximum power of 500 hp at 8,250 rpm. Maximum torque of 339 ft/lbs is reached at 5,750 rpm.



The 911 GT3 RS 4.0 offers truly impressive performance, lapping the famed Nürburgring-Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 27 seconds. Available exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in only 3.8 seconds, and with its gearing designed for the race circuit it reaches the 124 mph mark on the race track in under 12 seconds.



The 911 GT3 RS 4.0's outstanding driving dynamics come from numerous, meticulously coordinated details. In addition to using suspension components typically encountered in motor racing, weight reduction is also of supreme importance. Equipped as standard with lightweight components such as light but strong carbon fiber sport bucket seats, carbon fiber front fenders and luggage compartment lid, and weight-optimized carpets, the two-seater's ready-for-action weight is just 2,998 lbs with a full fuel tank. The 911 GT3 RS 4.0's power-to-weight ratio is 5.99 lbs/hp.



This limited edition 911 is painted Carrara White as standard and emphasizes its proximity to motor racing by its dynamic appearance. Signature characteristics are the wide track, the low vehicle position, the large rear wing with side plates, central twin tailpipe, and the aerodynamically optimized body. Air deflection vanes mounted on either side of the front bumper - called ‘flics' or dive planes - make their first appearance on a production Porsche. They create increased downforce on the front axle, and together with the steeply inclined rear wing, provide aerodynamics on par with its performance capabilities. As a result, at the 193 mph top track speed, aerodynamic forces exert an additional 426 lbs of downforce, thus pushing the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 onto the road.
