The #Porsche 911 GT3 just set a new record around the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The latest honor for Porsche’s rear-engined masterpiece is the title of fastest manual transmission-equipped car to ever lap the ’Ring. The manual GT3, which was equipped with the Weissach Package, lapped the track in 6:56.294 seconds. Porsche says that this corresponds to a time of 6:51.764 on the shorter layout used in some other lap records, suggesting that the 911 GT3 was nearly 10 seconds ahead of the existing manual record of 7:01.3 set by a Dodge Viper ACR in 2017. The lap was set by Jörg Bergmeister, a former Porsche factory sports car driver who often does record runs for the brand on the ’Ring. #Porsche911 #911GT3 #laprecord #Nurburgring #manual #manualtransmission #sportscar #carsofinstagram #cargram #roadandtrack
