Gt3 Touring 0-100 3.9s top speed 316 km/h
911R 0-100 3.8s top speed 323 km/h


why is the 911R faster?

I love the 911R, but sentimentality aside, I'll almost always prefer better technology.
Irrelevant.. it will always sell for more.

The acceleration for the R could be listed as slightly faster, since it has a little less weight. I can only conclude that the top speed 316 kph (not 216) is lower than R (323) due to a speed limiter. I think the rationale will be that it's not safe to go any faster without a fixed wing (higher Vmax in the R is for the brave).

991 R: 323 km/h, 1370 kg
GT3 Manual: 320 km/h, 1413 kg
GT3 PDK: 318 km/h/ 1430 kg (I know PDK)
GT3 Touring: 316 km/h, 14?? kg

The question is what the R will be selling for the day after tomorrow.

The Touring does not compete with the R.

Maybe a different gearing on the 6-speed manual on the R vs. the Touring?

Seriously doubt that - gearing change costs money and it's free to add an electronic limiter. Much easier to use the identical transaxle across all those models.

I don't get the impression that there are actually many Rs actually selling. Just a bunch of cars sitting advertised for ridiculous prices. Very few cars actually change hands, and even fewer/if any with reported sales price.

Just because a car is asking $499,900 doesn't mean it's going to sell for anything near that.

This car shouldn't be allowed to wear a GT3 badge. Call it the 911 GT or something.
