hmmm... Seems to me like the upper part of the rear spoiler is an afterthought. Looks like a bad aftermarket bolt-on.
They should of just stuck with the classic ducktail.

I'm glad that Porsche is at least keeping the manual as an option but the purist in me is saying that the manual should be the ONLY option in the GT3.

In that interview he did go on to say that while they are testing both only one will be finally offered.

August Achleitner, the 911 project chief, confirmed that Porsche's motorsport division is currently testing both manual and PDK versions of the new GT3. Only one transmission will ultimately be offered for sale, and Achleitner reckons the PDK is the favorite to get the nod.

"When we launched the 911 Turbo S, we did not offer a manual, but we have not had a single complaint," Achleitner told Inside Line.

if there is only one to be offered, im pretty sure it will be PDK. its what everyone has heard, and if you think of it.. all of the test cars we've seen are PDK.

still im having my fingers crossed for a manual... a 7 speed manual GT3 would be amazing.
