I just came here to say the same. This is SO MUCH better than the shaver. Very likely it replaces the shaver in all 992+.

It is the old 7 speed PDK with a different ****.

Inspired by Audi perhaps?

I wouldn't get too excited about ***** and what-not until Porsche shows an 8 speed with a big lever. This is the old seven speed unit. They're not going to meet their regulatory emissions requirements and CO2 targets putting the 7 speed PDK in the large volume 992s.

Funny that the original pic omitted this.
Confirmed: PORSCHE acknowledges that the manual transmission provides a pure, even more direct driving experience

^ I agree, that thing looks way better than the Braun shaver.

And I think 7th and 8th gears are mythical. I don't believe they exist

Why can't they use this with the 8-speed? Is there a physical connection between either the 7-speed or 8-speed PDK gearbox, e.g. cables, like there is in the manual?

Default Ugly

Dont like the new gt3 gear stick bit ugly looking the 992 version is small and virtually tucked away

New gt3 992 just looks dated on a modern interior
