Everybody is like..."PDK this and PDK that!" Has anyone forgotten that a double clutch system adds horrid weight to those ultra fast upshifts? Like in the audi s4 of yesteryear when it first became a v8. Yeah it's trick technology but what happened to the purists who shift by themselves? Nonetheless, kudos to the C2S for its outstanding performance from a flat6. Porsche is definitely on their game. The styling is subdued but nostalgically soul stirring at the same time.
It adds 30Kgs on a 911 but it is an option, you take it only if you want! and on a GT3, you have only a manual gearbox, Porsche will never forget purists....
@paikmendez uhhhh the weight increase is so minimal it doesn't even matter. These PDK transmission can upshit and downshift faster than people can do manually.
If you've never seen a PDK turbo launch compared to a manually launched turbo, the difference is quite drastic.
its not even a turbo, and it has 4 less cylinders and it has less 120 hp disadvantage, and it kept up with the lambo, but then after race went the lambo got ahead. This video also gives me a hunch that if it were a track with lots of twists and turns. The lambo would probably loose
911 Turbo S PDK ;)

yeah but the PDK is 22 pounds lighter than the previous porsche tiptronic transmission so its actually lighter than the previous 997.1

race it with the normal old 500 hp gallardo..i think Porsche would win..
golf1diesel 2 years ago 4
what did i get -1 for? the 996 gt3 380 hp beats the old 500hp non egear gallardo ..so the pdk c2s 997 would surely beat it...

The New (2010) GT3 doesn't have PDK.
They have plans to put it on the 997.2 Turbo though

I hate any type of automatic, tiptronic, or paddle operated gearbox....
....but I would actually consider getting the PDK option.

Not too impressive by Porsche. Ordinary Gallardo is not too fast in a straight line, so I thought that It would be much closer.

porsche PDK is a jewel.
maybe the R8 v10. no, i'm pretty sure, the v10 eat it.
P.S. I'm a young italian porsche fanatic who hate loud ferraris

The Audi R8v10 will get eaten by the new 997turbo PDK later this year.
