In sunny Spain, the Savagegeese team gets their hands on the 9922 Porsche 911 GT3, with Mark in tow. After some shenanigans, they delve into the car's updates aimed at meeting regulations, enhancing drivability, and adding customer-requested features. The GT3 now boasts 502 horsepower, 331 ft-lbs of torque, and improved gear ratios for a more engaging driving experience. The focus on driver engagement shines through with no artificial engine noise and a manual gearbox that demands driver interaction. Suspension tweaks, including recalibrated software and improved cooling, contribute to a smoother ride and better handling on the track.
The engineers dive into the suspension advancements, highlighting improvements in anti-dive characteristics and linear travel enhancements to balance road and track performance. Andy Prenger, the head of the GT line, emphasizes the importance of driver connection and system integration to deliver a rewarding driving experience that transcends mere performance metrics. He stresses the car's entertainment value and emotional appeal, steering away from the obsession with raw numbers prevalent in the automotive world. Prenger's advice to young engineers to follow their instincts and persevere echoes the passion and dedication required in the pursuit of automotive excellence.
On the track, the team tests the GT3's capabilities, noting improvements in gearing, damping, and overall confidence-inspiring performance. The car's ability to absorb bumps, responsive brakes, and ease of handling make it a standout choice for enthusiasts seeking a versatile driving experience. Both the manual and PDK options receive praise, with the manual gearbox offering a more engaging driving experience on the track. The GT3 strikes a delicate balance between track-focused performance and street comfort, solidifying its position as a top contender in the high-performance sports car segment.
