These are the articles by car magazines (Autoweek...)
I said articles published by Porsche!
Yes, maybe and probably 991.1 GT3 does 1:25 without no problem at all but the official time was 1:30

I tried to find the official press release from the 991.1 GT3's debut, but I couldn't find it (nothing that old on porsche.com). Do you have it?

EST

I don't have it but I got this information from a friend who is running the site Stuttcars.com
He is using the information directly from Porsche, not from the car magazines.

7:29 might just be the manual time.....

GrantG

I was told to expect Manual to be about 5 secs slower than PDK-S, so it still doesn't make sense (would expect something close to 7:19 for PDK-S and 7:24 for Manual)...

Interesting numbers on the 991.2 S coupe:

Expect the new 911 GTS with 450hp and 405 pound feet to shave a few tenths off those times as well....

At 3:30 Evo states "Porsche reckons it'll go under 7 minutes 20 seconds".

More evidence for the 7:19 Ring time.

Porsche reckon means Race simulator times

RennOracle

It's pretty obvious that it is the manual version.

djcxxx

Bet that figure is the manual time. Porsche officially slowed it down to emphasize involvement rather than performance. AP's idea for sure.

If i wanted a comfort car id choose the gts and save 50k, porsche needs to give us something now!

This is the best take on it personally. There are many factors in buying a car, it depends on the person what data or qualities they value the most.

bigskyGT3

I have become less and less interested in lap times and 0-60 etc. As long as the car is in the ballpark for these data points, I am more interested in subjective feel, engagement etc. If you want the car to stay NA, I believe you have to stop thinking the next version HAS to be faster.

GrantG

What do you think they did to make it about 10 sec slower than PDK-S then? Should be half that...

GrantG

I am ok with the car not being faster than a previous model as long as it's not artificially made slower (991.2 Manual should be at least as fast as 991.1 pdk-s)
