I much prefer the al la carte methodology personally.

Hmmm... Keyless entry/drive, lane change assist and surround view as standard or optional would be nice to have on a Spyder... but doubtful. Have all three on my Macan and I’m not going to lie... they are quite nice.

I sincerely hope that keyless entry&drive is not a standard feature (optional is fine) LCA would be well worth it I think esp in the Spyder

I am looking forward to see if there is a difference on hp/torque. The 2.5T Cayman GTS had a slightly higher torque value for the PDK vs the manual. There is a well known limit on the torque that can go through the manual that has been used on the base/S/GTS/GT4. The 718 GTS PDK is the only Cayman to date that has had higher. I’m hoping / expecting the GT4 to at least match the torque of the 2.5 GTS PDK. Fingers crossed.

I highly doubt any of them will be standard... optional is unlikely as well... can’t really think of what would become standard now? Auto climate control? CarPlay? Navigation (standard on the Macan and 992).

Yes, but the additional standard features would have cost around $3.3k. It is also unclear if delivery is included in the 2021 price or not.

DCT as in Dual Clutch Transmission is the generic term. Audi calls their DCT S-Tronic while Porsche calls theirs PDK.
