Slightly geeky post but here goes...

I keep a tab open on manual GT3s for sale from OPCs and only just noticed this. According to the listings (link below) the two 2018 cars currently listed - both 991.2s, a Touring and a GT3 - have different average fuel economy and emissions.

They're listed as 21.1mpg/302g/km for the Touring, and 21.9mpg/290g/km for the GT3.

So it would seem the wing has improved economy and emissions, but I would have expected the wing to create slightly more drag and thus the Touring would post slightly better figures, not the other way round..?

I wonder if the winged GT3 has figures quoted for PDK whereas touring was only available with manual so those figures given.

You are quite correct
