It's all speculation at the moment as we don't know the full specs for the GT4 yet.
FWIW I'd guess:
If you missed out on the GT3 (or never wanted one in the first place you'll love the GT4
If you own a GT3 but are not on the list for the GT4 you'll remain extremely happy!
If you sell your GT3 to replace it for the GT4 then I'm sure that part of the time you'll regret it, part of the time you'll be convinced you made the right decision and the rest of the time you'll be too busy having fun to care.
In other words it won't be 'better' or 'worse' it will be awesome but different!
ok so if you had a GREAT 997.1 gt3 not a 911 GT3? FWIW I'd guess:

Im thinking I may just own the two Fek it!
Well I'm in. LOI in and praying for a good result. Only slight snag could be that the GT4 and the RS arrive together. assuming that the allocation fairies work their magic. Have to have both. How do we get that one passed by the higher authority???? I think given that the RS is at £150K. The GT4 at £75K would look a bargain.

If the gt4 is an epic car and the RS is £150k the gt4 won't be £75k car it will only be this cheap if it's made in numbers with a modest work over!itsybitsy said:

I'm number 1 or 2 om their list so should get a first year car, whenever that is - hopefully before the end of 2015. As long as deviated stitching and cuphoilders are options I'm in....
My guess is a 6 speed manual to get GT4 regulations and PDK to increase the potential market size. 1000 cars worldwide would be about right. Normally aspirated flat 6 and 375 bhp seems about right to fit in the hierarchy of what Porsche will allow. A 3.6 would be about perfect for performance, development potential and exclusivity,
If anyone in the know would like to pm me with more specific info I would be very happy, the official info vacuum from Porsche is a real pain in the ass.

Depends on which opc, id like to think it was first come first served but money talks unfortunately/fortunately (pending on which side of the fence you sit)to be honest I am not to fussed on this one, not like the RS, I know most, but when are RHDs due.......

I have just spoken to my local OPC in Germany and it seems there are none of the problems here that you guys face in Blighty regarding LOI/deposits/owned >200 911's previously et cetera. I enquired about both the GT3RS and the GT4. As there are no official details released everything you hear is speculation (the guy I spoke to, Herr Mayer, was in Z'Hausen last week). All he could tell me was that the GT3RS he expects to be €180-190,000 and the GT4 to be around the €90,000 region. Turbo, engine CC, RWS, weight, PDK/H-pattern are all unknown. He said I could place a 10% deposit on either a GT3 or a Caymen GTS and simply change the order to a GT3RS or GT4 when official info has been released. He also mentioned a Mid 2015 delivery for the GT4 and Spring 2015 for the GT3RS. I asked about buying here with the C16 option and he said he would have to contact PAG for clarification.

Riddle me this, riddle me that but i have no idea what the last part means
Sorry, I am much more interested in an early 991 RS, then this GT4, whist the I know all about the GT4, and RS, I do not know when the RHDs GT4s will be available.....iantr said:
