New diluted 991 GT3 RS gets manual and 500hp – nicknamed the 911 R!

PDK is a manual right? And yes I want a manual. With or without clutch!

Well, technically there is a clutch. Just that you are not able to fully operate it manually, lol.. But I know that in the latest 911 GT3, you can click two paddles at once to disengage the clutch for you to rev freely, lol.

What I meant about the clutch - sometime ago Porsche made a 911 that had h-gated manual gears but didn't have a clutch pedal. The driver would change gears by lifting off then the gear could be slotted in. It made spirited driving quite difficult.

I've always wondered if it'll be possible for manufacturers to produce self shifting boxes like the PDK or DSG where there's a clutch pedal and a H pattern shift console just so drivers could opt to go into either modes. The additional clutch pedal would act like a manual override.

I wonder if that's possible. The PDK super fast changing probably has some sort of mechanism that preps the next gear and switches over or something. If manual, wouldn't that be a separate system altogether?

I was thinking something like an E-clutch that behaves like a conventional clutch when in operation and manual overrides the dual clutches in the box. Even the Shift console would be a E-6speed. Think of it like manually controlling the dual clutch box

That would be awesome!

I would think it'll be a pretty straightforward approach.
That would be the best of both worlds if it happens
