The biggest differences:
A Carrera GTS Coupe PDK is 0.7 sec. faster from 0-100 kph and 2.5 sec. faster from 0-200 kph than a Carrera Coupe with manual.
Same performance difference between Carrera GTS Cabriolet PDK and Carrera Cabriolet manual.
Meaning: There is a difference in performance compared to the Carrera base models but compared to the Carrera S, the difference is marginal.
While the GTS is still a bargain from many aspects, the very small performance difference actually doesn't make the Carrera Powerkit a good deal. One reason maybe why it doesn't seem to be available anymore for order on a new car, at least not in Germany.

I'm actually quite surprised that 23 hp make such a minor difference but I guess it was to be expected.
