2013 Porsche GT3 coming with PDK only?

0 comments



The news from Stuttgart says that Porsche is highly considering a PDK only transmission, no manual option for the next GT3. They are currently testing both, but insiders say the PDK will be the choice. Approximately 2 out of 3 Porsche owners choose PDK, and this could be a deciding factor.
While a PDK GT3 is faster in all areas, what about that 33% of Porsche purists who feel that connection through a manual gearbox? Let's hope the manual is not eliminated as I personally feel the GT3 was made for only the true drivers who enjoy throwing through the gears.

Also, both of the new GT3 and GT2 will have the electromechanical steering system currently on the (991) 911. August Achleitner who is the 911 project chief said "The new system only removes the feedback you don't need," and, "All our race drivers prefer it."
