No way, GT3.

The other day, just after noon, I received a text message out of the blue from my husband.I just got a call from Mr. H and he said he got a slot for a GT3 Touring! If I want to buy it, I have to decide on the specifications right away, so I'm going to the Porsche Center now!And.

Are you serious?

Me: "Can we get a parking space! What about the Boxster!"
Husband: "That can wait! Anyway, we can't miss this chance!"

So, about an hour and a half later from thatI've ordered!"And the email again. Well, I had no idea that my husband would decide to purchase a 911GT3 so quickly and explosively.

My husband wants a "genuine 911″.

My husband has long been a fan of theIf I were to buy a 911, I would want a "genuine 911″ that is as solid as possible. But it's hard to find a 911 with the best specs I think.He said, "This is great! Then last year, when the 911 Carrera T was launched, "This is good!" I said...

They seemed to have given up on it because the MT version did not come into Japan. At that time, the

I know PDK is good, but I am disappointed that there is no MT for the Japanese version of the 911 Carrera T. (-_-) If there was a MT, I would buy it. Why don't they offer the same choices as in Germany? Even if it's limited in number, even if it's a little expensive, please don't cut back on the choices."

He often blurted out.

Then came the announcement that "GT3 MT is now available.It would be hard to find a car that can handle that 500 horsepower NA engine with a manual transmission, ever!and excited," he said, "and I was playing configurator and so on.I don't know if MT cars will ever enter Japan in the first place.(not parallel imports)There were rumors that "the company was not a good fit" and they stopped seriously looking into the matter after that.

I got the specs in 30 minutes.

In the meantime.The 911 GT3 Touring is out.

'This is awesome, and it's without the GT3 wings! Poof!"GT3 and GT3 not recognized as GT3"Holy crap, what a chic car!"

And while my husband was instantly fascinated(in Japanese history)My husband is an eccentric who doesn't like to stand out and dares to buy things that are brand-name but not recognizable as brand-name.), "Not introduced in Japan?In the first place, there were rumors that theTooling package cannot be selected on the Japanese configurator web page.Therefore, the "I am sure it will never enter Japan.He had given up on the project.

Then one day, a Porsche owner I happened to meet at Ashiyu Driveway told me that he had a Porsche.Japan also has an authorized import of the GT3 Touring.When my husband heard that "the He immediately contacted Mr. H, who was in charge of the project, and asked him if he would be interested in "If the 911GT3 Touring slot comes around, I would love to have it!I had asked him to do so, but he had told me that it might not be possible, so I had given up on the idea that it would be impossible this time, too.

Then one day, I got a call from the dealer saying, "Luckily, we have a slot for GT3 Touring.If you can make up your mind right away, we can secure it."So that's what it was.

You can buy the new 992 later, but you can only buy this GT3 Touring now!"

She thought it was a good idea and decided to go for it as soon as possible. When her husband returned home, he said, "It only took me 30 minutes to order my GT3...He still couldn't believe it.

My husband ordered a GT3 Touring, which he had long decided would definitely be the body color he would buy.Crayon with optional PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes).Yes, but we will follow up with more detailed specifications.

Incidentally, this GT3 Touring will probably be produced in February 2019, with delivery at the end of April or after GW.

What about the 981 Boxster GTS?" I asked.I just changed the tires the other day, and it's a nice car, so I'm putting it aside for the time being. It's an expensive purchase, and maintenance costs will increase, but I'll just have to work hard and earn money again.He said.

GT3 catalog found.

While my husband was excited, I, who had almost no knowledge about GT3 and touring, could only reply with a curt, "Oh, really? So, I decided to take a look at the GT3 catalog that my husband had gotten from the dealer the other day.

You know, a few years ago, when I was still not interested in cars at all, my husbandI love GT3.He said."What the hell are those wings? You look like a runner! If I buy it, I'll take those wings off you in the night!"I remember saying that... (-_-)

But strangely enough, after I fell in love with Porsche and became interested in cars, those wings (wings) became familiar to my eyes.On the contrary, it's cool because of those wings."I began to think that it was a good idea. But just as I was starting to think that feathers were cool, my husband unexpectedly chose to go featherless... (blast)

The 911 GT3 catalog is quite thick. Flipping through it, we find that the beginning of theBorn in Flacht.The 911 GT3 is made in a place called "Flacht". Huracht...I have never heard of it before.

Flacht was aThe home of Porsche Motorsports in the Swabian region of Germany.It is a state-of-the-art complex located near the Weissach Development Center, where the 911 GT3 Cup, 911 RSR, and 919 Hybrid were also born. Not only are engines, transmissions, chassis, and other components assembled here, but the construction hall, with over 12,000 m2 of space, is also used to build the 911 GT3 Cup, 911 RSR, and 919 Hybrid.Developing vehicles from scratchThe company can do the following.

Beside it.

Porsche engineers pour their experience from all kinds of racing into their daily pursuit of perfection. At the end of the day.It would be impossible to make any further improvements."They will think, "What's the point of this? But the next morning, they will ask themselves, "Why did I do this?Can't we make it even better?"To be a hundredth of a second faster, 11 TP2T more agile, and a gram lighter. Only this attitude can produce one of the best cars in Porsche.

The sentence. Amazing...I think many people like Porsche including this kind of attitude.

What is the appeal of the 911 GT3?

The catalog explained many of the attractions of the GT3.

engine

The engine is a newly designed 911GT3cup-derived4.0-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engineIt is designed to It produces a maximum output of 368 kw (500 PS) and maximum torque of 460 N-m. This engine, mounted low in the rear with a low center of gravity, takes only 3.4 seconds from start to 100 km/h and has a top speed of 318 km/h.(0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds with MT, top speed 320km/h)rev limit(Allowable upper limit of engine speed)The pure sound of the high-performance naturally aspirated unit is the GT3's main attraction.

How much more...amazing. This is truly the pinnacle of NA engines.

Body weight reduction

Body.Aluminum and steel composite materialis used, andLightweight polyurethane front and rear endsis adopted.Rear lid, rear spoiler and its uprights are made of carbonIn.Titanium for connecting rodis used. I see...that must be expensive.

Rear axle steering as standard equipment

Our Panamera Turbo has the rear axle steering as an option, but the 911GT3 has it as standard equipment. The rear axle steering is a great feature.Electronic control systems are installed on the left and right rear wheels to steer the rear axle according to driving conditions, steering operation, and driving speed.They do.

At low speeds, the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheelsThe wheelbase is then shortened. This produces the same effect as a shorter wheelbase and a smaller turning radius, allowing for more dynamic driving in tight corners.

andAt high speeds, the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as the front wheels.Driving stability is enhanced in the same way as if the wheelbase were extended, and agility is also improved because the front and rear axles are steered at the same time. This effect is especially noticeable when overtaking on circuits or changing lanes on highways.

Since this function is installed in the 911, not in the Panamera, which is a huge car, it must be very agile.

High Performance Brakes

The 911GT3 is equipped with an extremely powerful braking system.Brake booster tuned exclusively to the performance of the carThe system is equipped with a In addition, theTwo-piece cast iron discs and aluminum calipersThe braking system is lightened by the new system, significantly reducing unsprung weight and rotating mass. It also provides powerful braking power in bad weather and under the harsh conditions of motorsports.

Even the moment you slow down, you can feel the uncontrollable joy."Yes.

The price, including tax, is over 20 million yen, but considering the light weight, high performance engine, high performance brake equipment....'I bet they cost that much.'I am somewhat convinced that this is a good idea. If we add options to this, it means that the price will exceed 25 million yen lightly.

touring package

GT3 is an optional package without wings.The Touring Package."The Touring Package is not limited to the race track. The Touring Package is not limited to the track.A car to enjoy the driving experience in various occasionsIt has no wings and looks much the same as a 911. It has no wings, and at a glance it does not look much different from a 911, but its performance is just as good.A wolf in sheep's clothing.It is described as

"True GT sport combined with a relaxed sophistication."A style unique to Porsche that pursues the compatibility of these two contradictions. My husband, by the way, is aI like the fact that he manages to reconcile contradictions. People who understand it will understand it, and people who don't understand it won't understand it. That's good. That's where the beauty lies..."He mumbled.

Delivery is in 4 months...?

I saw a video review of this 911 (991.2) GT3 (MT) test drive on the internet.The ride is very supple and the clutch is lighter than I expected."He said that he can drive the car very naturally. It seems to be quite easy to use in daily life, doesn't it?

I would like to drive the GT3 when it is delivered to me, but at any rate, I would like to drive it again.MT two-seater."So...

First I need to learn to drive a Boxster MT properly!(But lately I'm starting to feel like I can drive)Let's go for it!
