#PORSCHE 911 MANUAL MANUAL#

Porsche head of GT cars Andreas Preuninger told Autocar that he now expects the global manual transmission take rate for the 2022 911 GT3 to be 40%. is where the manual still reigns supreme, where 70% of 911 GT3 buyers get the manual. Making the manual available to folks on the West Coast is extra important with the extreme demand for Porsche products typically seen from California residents, so itвЂ™s good news for Porsche, too.Porsche Product Spokesperson Luke Vandezande told Bloomberg that some 30% of the outgoing 911 GT3's buyers worldwide opted for the manual, which is significantly more than the standard 911 lineup's 20-25% take rate for manual transmissions. In case you were worried, the car is just as loud as it was before this announcement. Obviously, this is good news for anybody in California who placed an order or has an allocation for a manual 911 GT3. The 911 GT3 arrives in the US in the fall, and will join 16 other model variants in the Porsche range that can be specified with three pedals.вЂќ PCNA thanks California DMV and California Highway for their responsiveness and helping quickly identify an appropriate regulatory path forward. We communicated this on June 15th, coinciding with the planned announcement of the 911 GT3 Touring package. Discussions with the regulators continued but without visibility to a solution we took the difficult decision to inform dealers that the manual option would no longer be available in California, since there would be no way to legally register the cars in the state. вЂњOn June 11, Porsche Cars North America received a notification from California Highway Patrol outlining that their existing test procedure (SAE J1470, from March 1992) was obsolete but it could not identify a procedural process to allow Porsche to test the new 911 GT3 equipped with a manual transmission through the modern test procedure (SAE J2805, from May 2020). The rest of PorscheвЂ™s statement can be found below. Porsche confirmed to us that it made no mechanical changes to the GT3 and GT3 Touring, but instead found a path forward through CaliforniaвЂ™s regulatory web. The manual GT3 passes the new test, but failed the old test. Instead, California used an older SAE test (SAE J1470) thatвЂ™s been in use since March 1992. PorscheвЂ™s statement continues by explaining that the manual GT3вЂ™s previous illegality was due to CaliforniaвЂ™s non-adherence to the latest SAE noise regulation testing procedures (SAE J8205) adopted in May 2020 and used everywhere else in the country. YouвЂ™re likely looking for a reason for why the car is legal now when it wasnвЂ™t just seven days ago. The work in the past week by the California DMV and California Highway Patrol to find a solution has been appreciated and helped to identify an appropriate regulatory path forward.вЂќ вЂњFollowing consultations with California authorities, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) is pleased to confirm that its dealers will be able to sell the new 911 GT3 with a six-speed manual gearbox вЂ“ meaning that, when the first cars arrive in the fall, they can be legally registered and driven in all 50 states. A Porsche spokesperson just informed us that together with the California DMV and California Highway Patrol, it has found вЂњa solutionвЂќ to legally selling the manual 911 GT3 and GT3 Touring in California. Porsche told us at the time that CaliforniaвЂ™s noise regulations were keeping the manual GT3 and GT3 Touring from conforming. With it came the announcement that California residents wouldnвЂ™t be allowed to purchase the manual transmission, making the seven-speed PDK the only option - the same applied to the standard GT3. A week ago today, Porsche announced the 2022 911 GT3 Touring.
