No surprise about not being available with PDK. I doubt the engine (on it's way out) can be mated to the PDK (just on it's way in). Would be silly to design them to work together for a single LE car. Let alone taking a big step away from something that sets the GT cars apart from the rest.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Just got called by my contact which saw a White Pre-Series LE at Zuffenhausen! Literally he said: "think about an RSR with the rear wing of a GT3RS MK2 and you will have the 4.0 RS!"
Being a Pre-Series things might change but according to what he said we have:

Being a Pre-Series things might change but according to what he said we have:
- Front and Rear wider wheel arches with rivets RSR style, the car will be fitted with spacers behind the rims (to fit with the wider body).
- Front bonnet and rear boot in CF but luckily painted! NOT in ugly black GT2RS style.
- PCCB as standard.
- Manual 6 speeds gear box ONLY. (Sorry Maraki!!)
- Despite few CF parts the overall weight of the car should be the same as the GT3RS Mk2 due to the 4.0L engine being slightly heavier than the 3.8L.
- The rev. limiter should be at 8500rpm but this info cannot be confirmed at 100%.

What I have been told is that the 4.0 engine is "the same" of a RSR with some obvious modifications for road use.
Despite the racing version revs up to 9400rpms, it seems like they have reduced the limiter to 8500rpm to improve relaiability... as told you, this is not confirmed 100% and I still hope it is not true...
