Have to say.......that car looks impressive.
I am curious as to how many PMNA will bring into the states in 2014.
$235K plus shipping and taxes takes it well over $250K......that should hold the value of nice 997 Cup cars for a bit.

Should be based on the new (and FIA 8862-2009 compatible) RECARO P 1300 GT.

The limitation with a current cup to use paddle shifters is in the ECU more than anything. There is a option currently for cups to upgrade to a 997 cup to paddle shift but it requires a separate ecu. The conversion from a engineering standpoint is quite simple, the electronics of making it work with the limited adaptability of the bosch ecu in 997 cups are another story altogether.

back to steel rotors in the Supercup
The new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is powered by a 3.8-litre six-cylinder flat engine. It generates 460 hp (338 kW) at 7,500 revs, surpassing the predecessor by 10 hp. A six-speed dog-type gearbox developed by Porsche Motorsport which is operated via shift paddles at the steering wheel for the first time in a Porsche brand trophy race car transmits the power to the rear axle. The single piece race wheels with centre mount were also newly designed by Porsche Motorsport. The width of the Michelin race slicks was increased by two centimetres to 27 centimetres at the front and by ten millimetres at the rear axle to now measure 31 centimetres.
A newly developed race braking system further improves the excellent endurance qualities compared to its successful predecessor. The 380 millimetre slotted and inner-vented steel brake rotors at the front axle are decelerated by six-piston aluminium fixed callipers. The rear axle features a four-piston version. During the development of the new car a particular emphasis was put on the driver safety. A newly designed safety cage protects the pilot in case of a roll or a collision as does a newly developed race seat which is distinctively shaped around the head and shoulders and can be adjusted individually with the help of padding. A rescue hatch in the roof provides easy access for primary medical attention and for the extrication of the driver.

Adding a paddle shift to the current cup is definitely possible. The strain gauge input could be replaced with the up shift paddle shift button possibly. The down shift blip could be mechanical just like current set-up's. It might not be that hard at all. Shiftech is the paddle shift kit being used on the 991. Shouldn't make the lap time any faster really but would be a little easier to drive.
We are currently working on a solution to the un-programmable ECU as well.
