I suspect they are doing their usual thing of protecting the 911. They needed a manual alternative for those who simply would not buy PDK, and to maintain their sports car credentials - but they don't want to build too many (or, I suspect offer PDK) for fear of taking more profitable 911 sales. It's the same reason that both the GT4 and Spyder are deliberately niche market cars in the first place. And when the turbo 4s come out they will have re-established clear water between the 981 and 911 again.

911 will also be turbo charged.

911 will also be turbo charged.

With the exception of the GT models.

But will have 6 cylinders for definite - or so Porsche say.
