In the summer of 2025, Porsche intends to set a new record at the Nürburgring using an upgraded 911 GT3 model with a manual transmission.
The main goal is to beat the result of the Dodge Viper ACR, which has been holding for 8 years. In 2016, the American Dodge Viper ACR conquered the Nordschleife in 7 minutes 1.3 seconds. And apparently the guys from Porsche are definitely tired of this record.
A new record for the Porsche 911 GT3 with a manual transmission can significantly increase its popularity among car enthusiasts. A manual transmission is a key component of the Porsche philosophy.
Now the number of "pure" sports cars continues to decline, and Porsche clearly wants to demonstrate its commitment to tradition.
