" Optional: 7-speed PDK for 718 Cayman GT4, 718 Spyder and 718 GTS 4.0 models
For the first time, the 718 Cayman GT4, 718 Spyder as well as the 718 GTS 4.0 models will be optionally available with the 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. This transmission offers the potential for quicker acceleration through rapid and seamless shifts. Six-cylinder 718 variants ordered with this option are expected to reach U.S. dealers in early 2021."

The DCT and PDK are the best dual clutches that I've had the pleasure to own, with a slight edge to the PDK (and I have one from 2016). I've test driven newer versions and they're great as well, but it's nice you can get these great cars
either in a manual or a true dual clutch.
I really want a 718 Spyder, but the BGTS 4.0 might be the sweet spot in the 718 range. The 4.0L F-6 definitely sounds muted in videos compared to my 3.4, but I am assuming that can be addressed with a cat-back system. The US version isn't supposed to have the particulate filters, which I assume would make the exhaust more exciting.
I have a buddy who just took delivery of his GT4, and can't wait to hear it in person.
