Yes, a friend of mine was at the opening of the new exclusive centre on the Thursday. I was hoping it would moved to the museum for display on the Friday.

The 997 Speedster has PDK, otherwise maybe a 991.2 TTS Cab is up for consideration, or even a Targa 4 GTS.

Nah.. I have a feeling they will release it with an option for PDK or 6MT like the GT3. Just my opinion, there is about 2000 of them being made, surely not everyone wants manual regardless of how much heritage throwback there is in there. PDK-S would be wicked fun to have, I want the NA engine with drop top. Thats the perfect setup!

I hope they give us the option

id choose manual but totally understand how people would want a pdk

the pdk is amazing and next best thing to a manual especially if you live in a city or lots of traffic and this is your only car etc

Hehehe.... I am sure Porsche wants a lot of everyone's money. They are crushing sales records right now and I don't see them stopping anytime soon.

lol. Speedsters is limited and will be sold out whether its PDK, 6MT, 7MT and ZF8 transmission. Demands and waitlist are already over the roof.

Porsche makes the set amount of money per speedster sold. Whether dealer discount it or sell it at 300k over, porsche make the same amount of money and get the same number of sales number for records.

So it won't change anything.

Anyways, I hope they only make 6MT so people who are willing to pay 150k over won't be able to choose PDK.
