THE PDK:
The dual-clutch PDK gearbox has been specially designed for the GT3 and features:
The dual-clutch PDK gearbox has been specially designed for the GT3 and features:
- 7 Speed gearbox
- 100 milliseconds shifts, one of the fastest
- There are two modes: manual or adaptive shift - the first time you can get full auto on a GT3
- Designed to feel more like a sequential gearbox, therefore will not be shifting up and down, like many other systems.
- Flappy paddles can be used to dis-engage the clutch (clutch kick) - Pull both paddles and have fun
Rear Wheel Steering
911 GT3 includes active rear-wheel steering: There's two electro-mechanical actuators in the rear of the car that can vary the steering angle by up to 1.5 degrees, depending on your speed. Up to 31 mph it'll steer in the opposite direction of the fronts, effectively shortening the wheelbase by around 150mm.

This makes the car more agile, feel smaller through a virtual reduction of the wheel base by 400mm (20cm).
First time, a Porsche is looking good to us.
