it will be a PDK with a longer shift lever and be called PDK-SS
SS standing for "sorta sequential"
it will be "derived from motorsports" in that they will use a copy of the lever that is used in the cup cars
there will not be a clutch pedal with the PDK-SS
it will be faster but will not hold up or be warranted with track use
it will not economically feasible to rebuild it... only to replace it
and in an homage to past porsches, they will make ordering deviated stitching for the shift boot its own option and make it obscure so that most miss it all togethger... because the germans love that we miss that option...

Your are dreaming
I quickly checked on "Mobile.de" and the "real" 996GT3RS are > 80 k Euro. They still keep value good. Other question is if they are really sold for 80 k but certainly not 60 kI am glad that I still might have more than one year to decide which gear box I like in my 991GT3RS. But from experience I have I even consider to go the "PDK" way. Anyway, with longer and wider wheel base the new 991 based GT3(RS) will run rings around the 997 versions
Enjoy your cars - whatever they might be

Can we not play this BS game here?
It's not a "spy" video and picture or anything close. It's a "Porsche marketing called and told us to be at the corner of Naive Street and Sheep Lane where they will be driving by as a marketing exercise" video and picture.
It is really insulting for these, all of these, year after year, to be shot out onto the forums with the breathless SPY VIDEO! SPY PICTURES!
You understand. Don't you Boxster Coupe?
Next time you are fed by Porsche, just say so and show some respect to the non-KoolAid drinkers will you?
