I guess it's confirmed it won't be three on the tree. Can't see how you know 100% if PDK or manual from those pictures?

I would expect shift paddles on the wheel if it was PDK...

no PDK flappy paddles on the steering wheel? I guess we won't be 100% until the officially announce it, but this is pretty good evidence for now.

The picture of tach has a redline of only 8800 (4L instead of 3.8?). This is getting good!

Stripped down wheel though, so very easily a dummy wheel to get press coverage.

Yep.. I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Interesting that the photographer couldn't get pics of the pedals. Also, if there were lots of upgrades they were testing and know they don't want to let the cat out of the bag, I'd tell the driver to put it in PDK-S and just place a simple wheel on there. It's a test car...

Porsche knows EXACTLY what they are doing.

Dealers are salivating as much as RL is.

Also no Gear pattern indicator (P-R-N-D) on the tach...
