Default 991 GT3 rolling back while trailering and engine switch off(Video)

I saw this video and this 991 GT3 has a PDK but could not take it to the trailer easily and the engine switch off in the middle,

it shows another problem if you don't have a normal handbrake as old school to balance between throttle and clutch in slope

but still have the same exhaust note and smoke when engine start

Thanks for the video.

That shot of the interior is a PDK shifter.

At least this car has the proper sport bucket seats.

Oh I didn't see the interior and PDK, so very strange behavior when he is trying to trailer it. I will modify the Title.

It is definitely a PDK. Looks like they have not gotten all the bugs out for the clutch engagement. Surprising!

Of course they have... the person was being UBER careful as that trailer was narrow and we do not know whether he was in full auto or not. These cars will not be any issue putting in a trailer....

the person driving into the trailer was obviously unfamiliar w/ the car and/or maybe w/ newer Porsches. The 1st driver had to instruct him on how to start the car and again after the stall.

Its unclear what caused the stall. Perhaps is was an "honest" stall. I cant imagine these types of issues this close to production, unless of course its a pre production model.

to Hoosier, recall the new model is wider.
