Development driver Lars Kern took just 6:59.927 minutes for a full 20.8-kilometre lap. The shorter 20.6-kilometre track, which had previously served as a benchmark, was completed by the 911 GT3 in 6:55.2 minutes. Running on the optionally available Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres, the new model consistently delivered its performance over several laps in the expert hands of Porsche brand ambassador J\u00f6rg Bergmeister. For Bergmeister, it is &#8220;by far the best production car&#8221; that the experienced professional driver has ever driven in the &#8220;Green Hell&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Click below for video recap:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The New 911 GT3 at the N\u00fcrburgring\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-HlcTJNdgDI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Buckle up for seven minutes of nothing but N\u00fcrburgring driving.
