Can't believe the online car magazines are naive enough to pick this story up and run with it based on an individuals chat (not meeting) with AP. Whilst it may or may not be true, these magazines are just making themselves look stupid by publishing.
Latest: "Hey guys - sorry about getting the time frame wrong on the release of info. I can not say any more without violating my promise to keep it confidential until they officially announce"Having spoken to Andreas Preuninger this morning; this is his official position on a PDK version GT4 and requested I share with the Internet:
"I am afraid the current GT4 with PDK story is complete nonsense, I never said this to anybody. I generally state that we monitor the market Situation before we plan new models and that future generation GT cars could offer the choice of either manual or PDK, but thats years from today and not decided yet. I have no problem if you share that Information."

Andreas is sitting next to me right now, sipping his coffee. He has red trousers on. He has asked me to type this for him:-
"The GT4 will be re-released in November with PDK, more stitching options and an advanced 2.0 diesel flat four as standard. Owners can expect 50mpg on a run and great residuals."
I hope that clears things up.

Certainly seems to have been a load of bks in the first place. No idea on the rumour of more manuals though; I hope there are so I can get a build slot, but equally would have loved to see it remain as limited as the R and Spyder were (987)
They were only limited because nobody bought them. They couldn't give them away when they came out. The Cayman R was the most underwelming Porsche release ever. And that includes some of the deisel saloon and 4x4's they done.jackwood said:

Now, now mdianuk, are you tell us the truth here? Did you really speak with AP? "I am afraid the current GT4 with PDK story is complete nonsense, I never said this to anybody.

Perhaps, you can share with us exactly where he was when you fellows spoke?

Could you offer a thought as to why everyone misinterpreted your report of your meeting with AP (as posted on Planet9)?
