Oh Mr R, you enjoy your over priced GT3, I'll enjoy my GT4

The 991.2 GT3 was arguably a bargain at list...

So was the GT4 really, I'm pretty sure Porsche could stick another 50k on the list price and they'd still get lapped up.

when the 981 SPyder was lauched you did not get Walter driving it, you got a female well known fit Tennis player :-) as that's a life style car even if people hate to think it is.

Facts:-

I was at that pre-launch and she never drove it she was in the passengers seat when it rocked up at the showroom

Maria was there giving a talk on her tennis career etc the car came with a male driver from Porsche

Odd reply, out of interest why is it over priced and why are we talking values and taking digs again ?
can you not have a car debate ?

Rich coming from you, sir..

Not wanting to get into the manual v pdk debate.

I note on the OPC, every 718 GT4 for sale is a manual, don't see any PDK, is there a reason for this as in my mind PDK would offer a more track-focused car. Makes you think PDK would hold a premium price.

Unaware of any UK GT4 PDKs arriving until next year.

Driving an auto is not as much fun as a manual IMO.

Ah right, that would explain matters then, thought it unusual.

As has already been said, PDK is only available on cars from December production onwards.

If we get only another year of production it would be quite rare indeed. Certainly hold onto the £2k premium over the manual gearbox I think.

First slot at my OPC with PDK option is going to a mate
and completes build in 2 weeks.

Only takes them a week to build the car . Wonder what split across the next year will be PDK/Spanish.

50:50 maybe?

[Tony718]

Just seen this article on a PDK GT4 if anyone has one on order.

Mostly PDK I suspect. A lot of folk didn't take up earlier build slots as they were waiting for PDK.

Doesn’t do much for the reviewers credibility, when they say they couldn’t have kept up with manual shifting requirements...
Sure it’s a good car all the same!

I’m still going manual, slot confirmation dependant.

[Romo]

Mine will be build week 49, GT4 PDK Gentian, PCCB, delivery to OPC December ( The Netherlands), driving early January 2021

I have a confirmation on that build slot.

Thought you might like this. A friend of a friend just picked up his Taycan. He clearly needed a manual...
