ADMIRERS of the old 928: Porsche is back in the game with PDK. Much, much more than the dual-clutch gearbox you might know in Volkswagens and Audis, this self-shifting transmission has elevated the 911 to a new level of GT grand touring refinement and pace. Together with a fresh generation of engines as part of the 997 Series II facelift, PDK truly offers sports car buyers the best of both worlds. Quite a remarkable piece of engineering, it now opens the 911 doors to a new world of drivers who would never have considered one previously. Still, despite all this, the manual can still spirit you away like no other.
