Mr JWW:
maybe it's not the end of manual gearbox, with Porsche it's the reborn
I discovered the No-Lift-Shift while my girlfriend was driving the GT3. She discovered it and taught me about it. 😂😂😂
Wow didnt know about the flat shift function and haven't used it yet on mine will give it some stick tomorrow now lol.
If Archie Hamilton did a review along these lines, he'd drive it to a petrol station and just say 'look at it sat there'
I liked how you highlighted these eastereggs that Porsche made for these manual-equipped GT3s. To have those functions you mentioned James, must've costed Porsche quite a lot of money to develop, so hope the take-rate of the 991 AND upcoming 992 GT3s with manual will be high enough to make Porsche justify developing them! Perhaps the no-lift-shift applies to the 911R too? The way the gear knob is mounted (up relatively high) reminds me of that from the Carrera GT, brilliant.
This why I watch you
Porches are such special cars. Thanks for bringing them to us James.
Just another reason why Porsche is the best.
You should try a motorcycle with an up & down quickshifter. No clutch at all. Just bang it through the sequencial gearbox for up shifts and down shifts. Clutchless up shifts used to be something to master. Clutchless down shifts though really mess with your mind if you have any mechanical sympathy.
amazing - I've had the GT3 touring for over a year since new, done over 8k km and never knew about the flat shift...
It’s interesting to me that this has taken so long to catch on to cars but this no lift shift function has been on racing motorcycles for over 20 years. A sensor is activated by the shift lever and the ignition is interrupted while the shift happens. That’s a bolt on kit you can add to any motorcycle. Today the top bike brands have it integrated but it’s been a common racing function for decades.
Enjoyable video James! Its amazing how a gearbox choice can dramatically change the character to the car - in the case of this 991.2 GT3, the rhythm of the driver going from gear-to-gear is very different from the PDK (gear ratios most likely play that part) and heck the mechanical noises (e.g whines) from the transmissions are different from the PDK too.
Last time I was this early James is collecting his Miami Blue GT3. Different colour, different gearbox, still one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Whats the big deal, I no lift flat shift in my Kia Picanto
Another epic video. This amazing gearbox can only be fully appreciated, if you experience it in person. I am so glad you are covering this amazing feature “no lift shift” as there is hardly any reviewers covering it. You sir are the first to do so... well done. Few of us who experienced and appreciated this feature early on, often wondered why no one is covering this epic experience, and I suspect you really have to own the car, to appreciate it, as it is counterintuitive and you must give it time to adapt your brains around it which is a luxury most reviewers don’t have as they are given the car for couple of hours to do a full review and most of them miss it, or possibly don’t fully appreciate it, given the short time they have with the car. Furthermore speaking to many GT3 owners with manual transmission, I am shocked to learn most are not aware of it, or some heard of it but have not experienced it, as no one has ever covered this feature at length. I am glad you are covering one of the most hidden treasures of this car. Well done, Mark
Finally a video discussing this!! Been looking for a video talking about this, but haven’t found one. I know motor trend mentioned it once, but they literally just mentioned it. Thank you for great content Mr. JWW!!
I like how you loved to share you're passion and knowledge with cars whenever you discuss things, im mind blown! would definitely watch you more often now.
This is a great video/info. I had no idea and if I had, well GT3 would have been chosen over the RS. In fact I’m going to look into it a move from RS to straight up GT3. Thanks for the enlightenment... and further Porsche shopping!
I have seen 2 videos only on that subject prior to yours but they were very short. You give so much details about every aspect of the GT3, porsche geeks are very happy i can tell you !
