We have certainly kept to that
rule, as the six-speed manual
gearbox in the new 911 GT3
has been designed especially for
the high demands of motorsport.
This lightweight gearbox is highly
efficient and the gear-lever throw
is short and precise, enabling
fast and accurate gearshifts.
In conjunction with the friction-
optimised and lighter dual-mass
fly-wheel, the gearbox provides an
extremely high level of precision
and capacity.
The gear ratios are perfectly
matched to the 3.8-litre engine
to enable even more dynamic
power development.
Robust steel heat-resistant baulk
rings on gears three to five ensure
a precise gearshift action even
under extreme loads. Cooling is
provided by an additional oil-to-
water heat exchanger and spray
lubrication. Both of these features
are essential for durability in
endurance racing conditions.
The standard locking rear differen-
tial’s lock factors of 28 % when
cornering under power and 40 %
when cornering on the overrun are
optimally matched to the engine’s
power and torque characteristics.
For better acceleration and
handling when exiting a corner.
Rule no. 1 on the racetrack:
Don’t lose time unnecessarily.
Transmission.
