if its a matter of production cost optimization - probably *much* cheaper to just lift and shift the existing PDK transmission and drop it in the GT4/Spyder ... which is what it appears they have done

Press Release (@ MY2021) from Porsche: https://press.porsche.com/prod/press...sionid=1106485

Nothing that we haven't gleaned yet, but just better to hear it straight from the source

Just got my allocation for a Spyder PDK. Order has been placed. It shows a lock date of July 30th with an arrival date of October 16th.

Interesting that the US website has been updated before the German one. Have not been contacted by my dealer in regards to the pdk version of this car either. Anyone from Europe who got an allocation already?

Will be interesting to see if that actually plays out, considering Porsche's own press release says you won't be seeing GTS4.0/GT4/Spyders with PDK until early 2021.

Default Speed Blue?

Why no Speed Blue? I thought Miami Blue was going away - to be replaced by Speed Blue.
