I didn't think Porsche would make the turbo or the GT3 exclusively PDK.

if they did GT3 pdk, then obviously the DD turbo will be pdk as well.

we're slowly seeing a ferrari transformation

did you see the spec of the new gt3?
468hp, low 1400 kilos weight, 3.5 0-100kms! I have to say wow...
Will see if I can scan the article from my UK Porsche mag.

Not shocked but dissapointed. Pray that sales dip on the 991.1 variants so they introduce a manual on the .2

207 mph, sub 7,30 ring time, active aero, 520/560 hp non s/s, 3.0 0-60, pdk , enhanced awd, 7200 redline, holy crap it's fast!
Yes, the gt3 is much better, oh wait it's not.

in all honesty... i would probably grab the new GT3 over TT... something about N/A power i love, but 9k redline means most of that power is probably up top which is not ideal.

I would wait until Porsche actually announces the car. The link above is just more speculation. Although PDK-only was a given.

PDK only? I will go with a used McLaren MP4-12C before I buy a new 991 Turbo.
