New Porsche 911 Carrera S with Twin-Clutch Gearbox Turns the Ring in 7:50 min
As if we’re all going to race our cars at the Nurburgring race track, Porsche has followed in the footsteps of Nissan and Cadillac by announcing its 2009 911 Carrera’s lap times at a media event in Germany. The German sportscar maker timed three different 911 Carreras with the fastest being a Carrera S fitted with Porsche’s all-new double-clutch semi-automated transmission dubbed “PDKâ€, that turned the Ring in 7 min and 50 seconds. Second place went again to a 2009 911 Carrera S (apparently equipped with a manual gearbox) with a time of 7:58 min while third place went to an outgoing Carrera S (probably with a manual transmission for comparable reasons) that managed to lap the Nurburgring in 8:02 minutes. We remind you that the 2009 Nissan GT-R lapped the Ring in 7:29 min while Cadillac’s supercharged CTS-V, in 7:59 min.
