I had the opportunity to test drive the new GT3 that everyone, including myself, and the touring package, so I would like to introduce it.

Speaking of the GT3 touring package, it is a grade that was set from the latter half of the predecessor 991 type, and it is the GT3 that I also purchased and owned.
This GT3 touring will be the latest 992 type, which is the successor.
To begin with.What is a touring package? GT3 with the large rear wing (feather) removed from the regular GT3 modelAnd although it is called "touring",The parts related to running such as suspension settings, engine, transmission etc. are exactly the same as GT3 with wingsThings have been adopted.
At first glance, the touring packageIt looks like a normal Carrera, but it has an aesthetic in that it is a complete GT3 inside.911 for Porsche purists.
There are small differences in the interior and exterior. In addition to the presence or absence of wings, the following points are typical examples.
Embossed leather in a leather package for GT3 touring. The door and dash tip are made of this leather.
GT3 touring standard seat
This area will be a big difference from the normal GT3. After all, as a concept, do not reveal that it is "GT3", just to the last"GT3" is difficult to understand as "GT3"The feature is that it is 911 that I want people who can understand this "aesthetics" and "chic" to ride.
Because it is GT3 touring, sometimes "The suspension is softer than the normal GT3"And,"PDK has a creep phenomenon, "Vehicle height is also a little highSome people think that, but that is not the case at all. It is completely the same as a normal GT3 with wings.
This is also announced by the manufacturer, and the specifications regarding running are completely normal GT3.
So, for a detailed review, please refer to this article on GT3 (992) with wings.
If you experience the 992 type GT3 again this time, you will find that it is a pure sports car that has popped out one by one.In order to transmit torque to the PDK that does not have a creep phenomenon, the GT3 starts to move when the accelerator is slightly pushed.
It is very comfortable to ride on flat roads. Looking at the GT3 reviews, some say it's comfortable to ride and some say it's not, but it depends a lot on the road you're on.
For example, theIf you review mainly on highways, it feels good, and it feels bad on rough roads running at low speeds on general roads.Id.
Black paint on the brake caliper. It's a choice only for advanced players.
The GT3 suspension moves very well up and down. This is the same as the predecessor, and although it is a hard setting, there is really little friction for fine input, and you can see that the damper is working.This is obvious when compared with a normal Carrera suspension.And you'll soon see that it's definitely equipped with a good damper.
Therefore, even the rough feeling of asphalt on a flat road surface can be absorbed well, and if the speed increases, the smoothness will increase further. On such a flat road, everyone would rate it as a great ride.
On the other hand, I am not good at large inputs such as swells and unevenness of the road surface. The damper works well, but the stroke is short and the stabilizer is hard in the first place. Therefore, if the input level exceeds a certain level, the shock absorption range will be exceeded, and the body will move to the left and right.
Then, the occupant's head shakes, and the human body unknowingly puts pressure on the neck and shoulders to maintain the position of the head, and if it continues for a long time, the neck and shoulders feel tired. It is. This is,This is the mechanism when GT3 feels "tired".By the way, unlike the old car of a runner who just hardened it, pushing up and down does not cause an unpleasant impact on the body.
More tired of "shaking" than "shocking"You should think that.
To supplement this "shaking" a little more, for example, SUVs, Cayenne, etc. also have "shaking" when running on rough roads at low speeds. However, the type of this "shaking" is completely different.The "sway" that you feel with an SUV is long in time, and it feels like it sways.Is. Therefore, humans have time to consciously respond to the shaking and maintain their posture, so they are not so tired.
On the other hand, the "shaking" in the case of GT3 is a moment.Movement that sways from side to sideAnd the time is very short. Therefore, I think that the body is unconsciously put into force.
The owner also has a 992 GTS Targa, so when I asked him what he thought about the ride, he asked."It's completely different compared to the 992 GTS. It's quite different.", "It's cool, but I'm tired (laughs)."It is said that "This is a racing package, not a touring packageHe said, "I'm not a fan of this.
However, it is GT3 that has more than enough exercise performance and sensuality to make up for the negative.
no longer,"If you think about it, it will bendI want to express it. Of course, if you turn the steering, it will turn, but the natural reaction is amazing. It never reacts exaggeratedly, it reacts linearly.
At the moment when I was looking at the end of the curve and conscious of going there, GT3 was already turning toward it. Of course, even in Carrera etc., a car called Porsche does such a movement, but GT3 has a tremendously fast reaction.
Relax and lightly turn your gaze toward the curve. With that alone, the GT3 runs through each corner as if nothing had happened, like a fish in the water. However, please note that the peaceful feeling is only for the driver, and the passenger seat will be struck by a strong lateral G force.
The owner said, "It bends as I expected."This GT3 can't look away". Certainly, if you are distracted by the scenery or other cars, you will try to go in that direction, so you need to hold the reins properly when boarding the GT3.
If there is a chance, it is a car that mistakes it for the Nürburgring and tries to start running.
Aside from running, if you look at the interior and exterior,This individual is a very adult GT3The first is.
Agate gray, clear tail, satin neo-deme painted wheels. And even the option of applying the standard brake red caliper to high-gloss black is adopted. The whole is made in a monotone style, and the number of colors on the interior and exterior is reduced as much as possible to give a sense of unity and are chicly organized.
This is a model-like specification of an adult's "touring package".
Beautiful agate gray
The "interior full of black leather items" on the interior is wonderful. Even though this embossed leather is leather, it looks like a carbon pattern, giving a sporty and calm impression. The touring package dares to hide the ability of less than 7 minutes with Nürburgring, and the interior and exterior that do not show the rigid contents at all look great.
incidentallyI have written an article in the past that I would order with such specificationsSo I'll put it for reference.
I don't care about the hardness, but I use it everyday with a cool face while hiding the wild taste of GT3. I think that the GT3 touring package is the car that suits such "Porsche riding".
