I mean if you are willing to pay over 80.000 euro for a car why then not spend the extra money for a factory (and thus warranty) tuned version that comes with xdrive, and 8 speed auto box. Imho it will certainly be worth the extra money.

Sure if you are not planning to use it as a daily driver or are not always stuck in traffic then go for the base or pure model with RWD and manual transmission.
Those of us that regularly track our cars don’t need or want near 100kg penalty in drivetrain weight when all you need is bigger, stickier tires with more negative camber for better performance.

More gears don’t necessarily benefit at tracks as you are better off carrying speed into corners with minimum gear changes.

Same reason why tracked 911s are seldom AWD.
