Now let’s fit it back on standard tyres and see how much slower it will become.
I doubt any car will be delivered with cup 2 r’s. It’s not a practical tyre for a daily use nor it will last for more than 5,000 km, if you are lucky when the temperature is not below 20c, which can get you sideways and crash.
This is just old marketing textbook strategy to get people to believe a manual is faster than automatic and is possible only by Porsche.
The bullshit never ends, because there’s no substitute.

This was done with a manual transmission, 4 seconds faster than the PDK pre-facelift despite zero power difference and different gearing. This reeks of cheating.

@jeremyclarkson1 remember to note this was a Weissach Package. Also, remember to add the tires, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R.
