Porsche 39 Anyone can be unyielding. But whether they also make an impact depends on one crucial feature: charisma. The ability to lead and be ahead. The performance data of the new 911 GT2 RS show that many will follow in its wake – presumably because they cannot overtake it. A 7-speed power demonstration: PDK, trimmed for maximum performance for the new 911 GT2 RS. With purposely short ratios and short, succinct gearshifts via the shift paddles. Seventh gear is also ratioed for sport and designed for maximum speed. The manual mode on the gear selector works as it does in our race cars: backwards to shift up, forwards to shift down. And the gear change itself? You can both hear and feel it. The electronic, GT-specific transmission control ensures faster, more spontaneous traction upshifts – and extremely dynamic downshift thrusts in combination with sporty, interim applications of the throttle. In PDK SPORT mode, downshifts are more aggressive when braking; when accelerating, the switching points relocate at higher revs. So you can really feel the upshifts – both physically and emotionally, of course.
