The new GT3 beat this by over 5 seconds. Comparison with Previous GT3: The manual 992.2 GT3 also outperformed its predecessor, the 992.1 GT3 equipped with a PDK automatic transmission, by 3.633 seconds.

Weissach Package Enhancements The Weissach Package contributes to the GT3's performance through: Weight Reduction: Incorporation of carbon fiber components such as the roof, front lid, and roll cage.

The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3's record-setting lap not only reaffirms the viability of manual transmissions in high-performance contexts but also sets a new standard for what can be achieved with traditional driver-controlled gearboxes.
