Default GT4 to get PDK confirmed by AP

If true and the GT4 is definitely getting a PDK box, I may be very tempted to swap given the frustration I am experiencing getting my dealer to confirm my GT3 allocation, …..and especially considering there is a 60K euro difference in price.

See very active thread on GT4 board. https://rennlist.com/forums/gt4/8909...-weissach.html

Don't think anything was 'confirmed' by A.P. - and the '2 or 3 days' has passed with no news. Do you really think Porsche would reveal important info on a new option on a GT car to someone doing euro delivery as opposed to doing a press release?

Seriously....

Edit: But then there would be no point for the GT4 to have been created in the first place.

Nah. Same thing goes for the " no GT4 RS " info. But why spoil the gentleman's Euro delivery impression...

If you don't have an allocation, you're not really "swapping" per se, just taking the next best alternative. If you had the option to get either, sounds like you would go with the 3.

Personally, the only reason I would want the 4 is for the manual trans. Lower price point helps somewhat, but risk of higher production volumes for the GT4 (my speculation based on the PDK announcement).

I don't see any confirmation. All news I see all link back to the threads in the forums about it.

LOL!

I really don't mind a PDK GT4. Not for me,otherwise I would've had a GT3,but choice is good. My point is about how much can one trust a Porsche executive in a private conversation about future plans in a secretive market...

I wouldn't trust that conversation either.

Porsche missed the boat. They could have charged extra for a 6 speed on the GT3 and sold quite a few. Not like them to miss out on low hanging fruit.

+10

If there were manual option in GT3, I would not have gotten the GT4 allocation and sold the 3.
