This surprises me that the PDKs are only 40%. Anecdotally, if I look at the used market, it feels like well over half of these cars are PDK. Perhaps one way to interpret it is that the people that own manual cars tend to hold on to them more so than the people that own PDK cars... Of course you also had the complete 2020 model year and the first month or two of the 2021 model year where the PDK was not available...

My thought probably mostly to do with intended use, GT4 for the track, Spyder for back road canyon carving and the GTS more of a general orientation as in daily driver?

Posted them a while back in the "GT4RS Deliveries and Production Discussion" thread.
Current total is 1262. Right now they build 3-5 GT4RS a day for NA.

Interesting I would say that I expect the Spyders would be the MT candidate and GT4 the PDK... As for GTS more likely PDK.

Track Day
Currently have 987 Spyder 6speed and 981BGTS PDK. Previously had 981 Spyder. Reasons for owning each model are completely different and don’t compare.
I drove the 981 Spyder hard. The red 987 Spyder with 11k miles is keeper garage queen. The 981 BGTS PDK runs errands and lovely top down days with wife.
All are great cars. What you buy depends on how you plan to use it.

PTS British Racing Green/ Expresso Cognac full leather. Is this a unicorn?
estimate of model year 2023 GTS production?

Track Day
My all time favorite of the 25 Porsche cars I have owned since 1982 - the 981 Spyder.
second favorite and more all round versatile car 981 Cayman GTS PDK. RED/carbon trim.
Both these cars as stock were more engaging to drive and beautiful. If my garage were empty I would buy one of these or both.

So production finally ended on the GT4/Spyder? I'd love to see if there was a way to see what the last VIN number for the spyders they made were. I just got confirmation that my car has been completed.
