This seems to come at least once per quarter:
- pull both and hold for neutral is PDK-S
- pull and release both, simultaneously, selects neutral for PDK (sports cars only.)

I bet it's in the owners manual somewhere, but why bother to RTFM when you have rennlist?

It's funny, I learned about the neutral trick from my Porsche salesman during delivery last winter. You know how a good salesman will spend a little time with you in the car and teach you some stuff, help you pair your phone, whatever. I'm a multiple repeat customer and I figured he would be out of new things to teach me, but he must have been sandbagging a few tips and tricks for repeat customers because he only dropped the neutral trick on me on delivery day of my most recent purchase. No, I didn't wind up the (cold) engine at the very next stoplight, but I wanted to.

exactly the same here. Pulling both paddles does not get neutral.

Are you doing it too slowly or quickly?

5959, put it in Sport mode / manual and pull back on both paddles. You'll see the dash gear light "blink", rev her up, smile and tap your right paddle and continue you journey

Ah, unfortunately I have the steering wheel with the buttons not paddles. I see a HOLD symbol on the dash while stopped on a hill, which prevents rolling backwards, but I don’t think my car is able to hold the car while stopped without pressing the brake pedal.

Apparently you can clutch kick by doing this as well on a PDK. Matt Farrah has a 2min vid of him doing so with a GT3.

I figured it was possible but hadn’t bothered to try on my car.

I can get my 992 ( PDK ) into N by pulling both levers. I also understand that you can rev the engine and get the RPM's up etc while in N prior to getting back into gear. However, I do not fully understand what the function of this is. Is it so we can hear the engine wind up or is there some other functionality to it ? It seems rather different than gunning the throttle in a manual stick shift where we are actually needing to get RPM's up to get into a proper gear, etc.

The function is: to put the gearbox in neutral.

It is the functional equivalent of putting a manual gearbox in neutral so that you can reengage the clutch without moving.

This feature is mandatory for tunnels and underpasses.

I don't think you can do the clutch kick on PDK, just PDK-S

Make sure you pull AND release both paddles. If you hold them (which does work in a GT3) it will not work.
