Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Pack – Budget 911r Perhaps?

-


This here is the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Pack, a take on the car for those who want to do without the wacky wings and who just want a driving experience unlike any other. This car can be said as eerily similar to the 911r which was released last year to rave reviews but was limited to 991 units, making it a collector’s item and expensive to afford.

This car, however, can be said as a sleeper and as a 911 that signifies it best that is a screaming flat 6 engine that redlines to almost 8400rpm, a slick 6 speed manual transmission for heavenly shifting, rear wheel steering for unlimited grip and best of all the complete race car experience without compromising much on comfort.

Like the regular car, this one looks similar except for the spoiler which has been replaced with a retractable spoiler that comes up to the window. The seats have been replaced with Leather rather than Alcantara in the regular one for more comfort. The engine is the same 4.0ltr flat-6 which produces 500bhp and 339 lb. of torque to provide the driver an unadulterated and ungodly sounding naturally aspirated engine.

Since this is the touring package there will be a different suspension tune and the ride and handling will be a little softer compared to the normal GT3. Also, the top speed has been reduced from 318kms/hr to 316kms/hr partly due to the spoiler delete.


All in all, this seems to be a car that the purists have begged for from the beginning and with a regular production cycle one can get it without any exclusivity and enjoy what is probably a driving experience that can shake up the senses like anything.

This review might be a little different but automotive photography is a field that is catching up very quickly and is one of my main interests along with writing. The most important thing for any photographer in this field is the camera and it should be one that can keep up with the moving vehicle and also have enough autofocus speed to capture the moment at the right time. To sum it all up it needs to be a workhorse. Fujifilm is one manufacturer that looks to have its own take on photography with their X-Trans sensors and brilliant cameras and their flagship XT2 is the culmination of all their efforts with this sensor type and for these types of purposes, this camera is a perfect fit for the budding photographer who wants to take cars. The camera contains a 24-megapixel X-Trans sensor which is of the Bayer format and of APS-C variety which means it is smaller than full frame and being mirrorless means that lenses are extremely light and the inbuilt electronic viewfinder helps one t

The BMW 3-Series has been a sedan that has enjoyed the love of enthusiasts and critiques all alike thanks to its handling, space and comfort which made it the ultimate driving machine for so many years. The car has been on the top spot for so many years that there has frankly been no real competition for it even though there were many attempts from the Japanese, British, American and even the Italians to upstart but most of them have their cons. The guys from Korea have been different very lately and the best example is the Hyundai genesis which launched in 2008 to tackle the Germans and was indeed successful. Genesis has now become a full fledged brand and with their cars they aim to the on the Germans with their own take on refinement and luxury experience. Meet the Genesis G70, the Korean’s answer to the 3-series and revealed today in Seoul, this sedan looks primed and ready to duke it out with the competition. We can clearly see some proportions
