As expected, the latest Porsche 911 GT3 drops a traditional manual transmission in favor of a PDK dual-clutch unit. Purists might bemoan the lack of row-your-own gears, but the truth is the 911 GT3 is designed for maximum lap times -- Porsche says 80 percent of GT3 owners use their cars on a track. The PDK shifts faster than you ever will, and it never misses a gearchange, so it's installed as standard on this model. The 911 GT3 debuts at the Geneva Motor Show with a heroic list of upgrades designed to make the 991-generation of Porsche's sports car an even better performance machine.
