Manual Transmission 991.1 GT3 RS Created!
BGB Motorsports made what Porsche wouldn’t, a 3-pedal 991.1 GT3 RS.
If you’ve been watching some of our front page news, or if your living quarters are not under a rock, you’ve noticed the buzz about Porsche’s new 991.2 GT3. Specifically, its trio of pedals to dance on. That’s exactly due to the fact the 991.1 GT3 exclusively used a PDK transmission. Porsche claims the new GT3 is not a 911 R with a few extra aero bits added. Though, it’s easy to draw parallels between the DNA in each car.
Florida is home to BGB Motorsports, and they’ve corrected the problem. Write a check in the amount of $45,000.00, and you’ll be rewarded with one of the best driver’s cars money can buy. BGB sources an actual 911 R transmission, which easily makes up for half the cost, and then has to use specialized coding to make all of the electronics work with each other.
Despite the 911 R gearbox and 911 R signals being sent between computers, this is all GT3 RS. Case-in-point, it will still use some things that made the RS such a track monster. Retained is the RS rear-wheel-steering program, and RS-specific traction control settings.
