New Porsche 911 GT3 (992) test drive review | No longer a different dimension! Overwhelming high performance!

Try a 9000rpm engine
Step on the accelerator in a straight line. As usual, the PDK's shift speed is the highest in the world. Bashun! Bashun! And the GT3 accelerates to be blown away. The low speed torque at low revs makes me forget everything that the gear ratio said.
The crazy speed of rotation, tremendous exhaust notes, and overwhelming power are coming.
This is the GT3 engine.
By the way, when it comes to sound, it's definitely noisy,Still, I think it's a little quieter than its predecessor.
However, its tone and sound quality are very good. In particular, there is no unnatural volume adjustment even in the low rpm range from the engine start. Since the previous GT3 was compatible with volume regulation by turning the exhaust valve on and off, the original sound could not be heard up to 4000 rpm.
However, theThe new GT3 has a variable valve control that opens and closes seamlessly.And that. Perhaps because of this, there is no sense of discomfort such as suddenly becoming quiet when you start running, the sound gradually increases, and it is proportional to speed and rotation, so it is very natural and fun to drive. Even if the volume becomes a little quieter, it feels even better.
I prefer the sound quality and volume of this new GT3 to its predecessor.
GT3 Ride
This time, I had an acquaintance in the passenger seat in the test drive, but when I heard the story later, "Don't skip itI heard he was thinking. However, the person in question does not intend to skip it at all. Rather, I thought that I was running politely, but it seems that the passenger seat did not feel that way.
After that, I took turns driving and I sat in the passenger seat, and an acquaintance decided to drive. The acquaintance is not a person who skips so much, but a person who drives politely and with peace of mind, but this was not the case with the GT3 driving this time.
No, like meIt seems that he was driving normally, but in the passenger seat, the smartphone that was shooting the video with one hand was blown off by the side G, and the body was always shaken.It was in the situation.
One of the features that I especially felt in this GT3 isThe ride quality is completely different between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.I have never known a car with such a different ride quality.
In winding, the driver's seat is not uncomfortable to ride, and I can run very comfortably, but that is only the driver's seat.A merciless lateral G-force attacks in the passenger seat.
Even if you don't fly, the GT3 can turn the curve with plenty of room even without braking, so the pace will be faster.
In addition, the overwhelming PCCB stopping power for intense acceleration. People in the passenger seat who do not have steering will be shaken.
If you make a mistake, you shouldn't use this car in a date car. ""I bought a GT3! It's amazing!I understand that I want to brag to women, but it's just a man's ego. First of all, there are few women who can understand the goodness of this car in the passenger seat.
Even I didn't like to get in the passenger seat, so I'm sure women in the passenger seat wouldn't like it. Then, looking at the wings of GT3, "It's embarrassing, so don't ride anymore!Is visible.
When I say that, I'm likely to hear a voice saying, "I'm okay because I run quietly," but GT3 doesn't allow it so easily. always"Run more!" "Step on the accelerator!"GT3 rushes as if to say.
And because it's so comfortable and fast, it starts to turn at a high pace without even realizing it.
To the last, GT3 is a plaything for car lovers. It's a tool that you can enjoy running through winding and circuits while secretly smiling alone.
By the way.I asked the owner about the ride quality in the city, but he said, "It's hard!"The owner has many old and new Porsche and has experienced many from 964 to 992, 718, but among them, it was said that he did not want to run a long distance with this GT3.
I can't say anything because I haven't tried it in the city this time, but I don't think I'm so worried about pushing up and stubbornness. The body rigidity is super first-class, and the movement of the suspension is also very good, so there is almost no low-grade impact called rattling on the body. However, the shaking seems to be great.
It ’s a little bigger than its predecessor,Certainly, it is unavoidable to want to express it as "hard" or "spartan".I think it's the place.
GT3 general comment
Compared to the 992 Carrera seriesGT3 is, so to speak, "Char's 911" in Gundam.Is. Of course, it's not three times as fast or capable, but it's so different that I can't help but feel it.
Everything is different from the engine, but I think the one that is particularly different is the high handling performance and its drivability that comes from the overwhelming chassis performance. I think that is a point that has evolved overwhelmingly compared to the previous GT3.
So what about the engine? Speaking of whichTo be honest, my impression is that it is almost the same as the previous generation.At least I didn't feel a clear difference in power or rotation feel. If you write that, it may sound like something unsatisfactory, but you should think that the previous engine was so wonderful that it was diverted almost as it was.
This time, I tried riding the new GT3 and personally wanted it.
But I don't want to buy it.That's because the performance is so great that you can't fully enjoy it on ordinary roads. I've said this to various people who consult with me about purchasing GT3, but it doesn't seem to be understood easily, and I think it's something that you can't understand until you buy it and experience it.
"It's okay to run slowly and enjoy it" or "Sometimes you can step on it when it's free"It is said, but it is not that sweet. It's not a shallow car that you can be satisfied with. It's packed with so much charm, and people who bought it somehow want to enjoy it.
Then, he takes the GT3 out to enjoy its charm, but realizes that it can't be helped on the general road, and finally only frustration accumulates.
On the other hand, running is secondary, and I want it because it's simply cool. Some people may want it to satisfy their status and ownership. I think such a person should definitely buy it. I think resale is good for the time being, and if I have a chance to buy it, I think it will not hurt to buy it.
But in any case,If you buy a GT3, please run it once on the circuit.It doesn't matter if it's a beginner's race. I want you to release the power and power to your heart's content without the time or ranking. At that time, you will be able to enjoy the true charm of this car, and even think that the price of more than 23 million yen is cheap. The GT3 is a car that is so attractive.

Hello, hiro.
After seeing Instagram, I was looking forward to the review.
You can buy gt3 by adding OP to Carrera s and gts!
So maybe everyone gets lost once ^^;
The level of gt3 will be too different, but even Cayman gts4.0 can be imagined somehow because it is too much to carry on the general road, I am sorry that I can not turn it, and the stimulation is weak.
Recently, I'm thinking about switching to a more underpowered car until the late 992's original cabriolet comes out.
Since Macan will be delivered, I am thinking of leaving the 2-door Porsche once and thinking of Abarth 595 left MT, but what about ^ ^ ;?
Answer Hello ds124.
Certainly, even with GTS 4.0, there aren't any scenes that really show their true potential.
I think that it is even more so with GT3 because of the gear ratio and torque.
I wrote a review about the Abarth 595 before, but it was surprisingly stable and I didn't like it. The appearance and handling characteristics are different. ..
In that case, I personally thought that Swiss Po was more fun ^ _ ^
I will comment for the first time in a long time.
This test drive article was very helpful.
I usually felt itchy in the comments of critics about the 992 GT3, but this time I could feel the "road surface information" most directly so far.
After all, the description of the person who owns many kinds of Porsche for a long time and makes it a part of the body has a different sense of resonance of the reader.
The GT3 touring I ordered last summer is expected to arrive around the end of May, and I'm tired of waiting lately, but thanks to you, my expectations have risen again.
We look forward to articles that will allow you to feel the temperature of blood flow, not just the surface layer.
Thank you very much.
Hello, Mr. Coffee from the plateau.
I am very happy to hear that!
I also look at various reviews, but I'm afraid that there is no article that writes something that interests me from the user's perspective.
I'm just an extension of my hobby, so I'd like to continue writing without being distracted by anyone, including points that everyone cares about from the user's perspective and impressions compared to other cars.
But I'm looking forward to GT3 touring! !!
I'm always looking forward to posting. I was looking forward to the article on 992GT3.
How was the difference in handling, turning performance, braking performance, acceleration, sound, etc. when running in Ashi between the 992GT3 and the 992TurboS that were tested this time?
The price difference of the main unit is 6.51 million yen, but what do you think is the difference in price?
If it is difficult to return in the comments, please post in the article!
The story changed, and the text "I bought a GT3! It's amazing! I laughed at.
General women do not know GT3 in the first place, and even Porsche is suspicious, so it seems that boasting GT3 to women seems to be idle lol
Hello. I always enjoy reading blogs.
"Traditional Porsche has an area of" play "or" pool "of a little movement.
That's why I think it's possible for the driver to feel comfortable and achieve a transcendental response. "
A book called "Spirit of Roadster" describes the "reservoir" at the beginning of steering.
"If the movement with respect to the cut amount is completely 1: 1 from the fine steering angle region, I feel sensitive at the first movement.
This is because the driver concentrates on cutting, but I will make a tame for that.
It is a correction that matches human senses. "
That's right.
The handling is also deep ~
Hello 168.
That "reservoir" is also taken into consideration in the development of the Roadster!
Maybe it's a very important factor to create a sense of unity between humans and horses, and it shouldn't be too much or too much.
I think there is just the right salt plum.
Some Italian cars have almost no "reservoir", but
I think that kind of car is used to produce the sharpness of the steering response.
It's really deep ^^
