Very true - we're fairly close to being able to buy a self-driving car that can lap the Ring by itself in under 8 minutes. I assure you that it won't be as much fun as the slow 8:45 that I posted on my first trip there...

Looks like the R and next GT3 will have manual option!

"Recall that both the GT3 and the GT3 RS are PDK-only, although Porsche has decided that the next-generation GT3 should give customers the option of shifting for themselves."

Right, but the big question a lot of us have is will there be a manual option in the next GT3

What if they make some of the gt-line the "enthusiast" line.. Something which stands outside of the inexorable progression of speed and power. Cars which appeal the NA purists, the manual-lovers,
GT# - racers with wings, PDK, max track ready: priced within current power hierarchy.
GTletter - enthusiast line with manual option, NA engines, interesting interior finishes: priced at whatever nostalgia market will bear, which is to say... Almost infinite

no way the next gt3 has manual - gt3 has to have low lap times to compete with f488 m650s etc etc
the 991r split off is meant to please purists who want involvement-mobiles that are noticeably slower than the fast robotshifter-mobiles...let's just hope they make more rather than less of them
would be very cool if they split off more vehicles on the other branch of the tree... am quite sure their product planning hierarchy have been hotly debating...
