MT or PDK
The other dayWhen the new Porsche 911 GT3 is announcedFor those who have been waiting for it, the option that is said to be very interesting and pleasing is that "manual transmission can be selected".
Nowadays, when humans handle cars, it is probably better to leave MT to PDK than to operate MT by themselves, and most ordinary people can handle cars better and run with the best performance of Porsche 911. I think that it can be done (in fact, PDK is faster (0-100km) in terms of car performance according to Porsche's published value).
Therefore, in both PDK and MT, "Which is the better choice" may just depend on each person's taste ... This is my complete opinion, but I think that way ^^
In other words, "Why don't you ride the one you like and the one you want to ride?" It's thrown away (laughs).
However, in order to "select the transmission according to each taste", it is not possible to select unless Porsche sells both MT and PDK in the first place, so set it so that MT can also be selected in this way I think that what they gave me was actually a great pleasure for many people.
Even if it is not GT3, I still dream of owning a Porsche 911 with a left-hand drive MT and riding it around once if possible.
After all, it's kind of fun to drive with MT ^^! !!
Mr.911 lost the bet
By the way, and how popular this MT transmission is, the MT selectivity at the time of 991.2 type 911 GT3 surprised even Mr. Frank (Frank-Steffen Walliser) who is Mr. 911. Yes.
When introducing the MT setting to GT3 (991.2), he was betting wine with other members on "how many people choose MT". The result was that Mr. 911 had a higher MT rate than he expected, so he lost the bet and had to pay a few bottles.
No, I was making such a bet (laughs).
The MT rate of 991.2 GT3 is 30% worldwide
The actual MT rate figure that Frank lost the bet is that "people with 30% in the world chose MT with GT3 of 991.2".
This seems to be quite high compared to the MT selection rate of 20 to 25% in the entire Porsche 911 lineup (although MT can be selected depending on Japan or country). Some models don't have the settings, so I don't know if it's okay to compare the numbers purely ...).
70% chooses MT in the US
Bloomberg reported that the MT rate of the 991.2 GT3 this time was surprisingly high in the United States, and according to a Porsche spokesman, the number is "American 70% person is MT in GT3. I bought it. "
It's 70%, 70%!
70% of the people who bought GT3 in the United States were MT. In the first place, the MT approval rating of this GT3 in the United States, where there are only a few people who drive MT transmission cars.
Porsche was also really surprised at this.
Frank lost the bet, so I don't think he really expected the numbers to come out.
Mr. GT car Andreas Preuninger predicts that the MT selectivity of the 992 type GT3 announced this time will be 40%.
If there was such a MT transmission approval rating at the time of 991.2, it is understandable that MT was set from the beginning even in this 992 type GT3.
For some reason, MT is very popular, and if MT can be selected this time, I think that there are many people who choose MT from Japan as well.
