Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...

The new GT3 is going to be sick, cant wait....
I hope there will be PDK for the GT3, but that's maybe the GTS?
Now that it seems that the 991 GT3 will be using the DFI engine as all the other 911 variants, this means that it will be at least posible to fit it with PDK now, since before the GT1 block prevented this. So it a matter of if they want to do it or not, but now its posible.
Porsche has always argued that the reason for not fitting the PDK on the GT variants is because the philosophy of the GT variants implied a manual gearbox and they did not want to fit a PDK on these cars. But I think this was just to hide that they could not fit on the GT1 blcok engine. So I think they will offer it, as an option, but probably will because even though I preffer the manual gearbox myself, I I think there will be a big demand for it on the GT cars, and will also help it performance and track figures.
