The 718 GT4 might be arriving sooner than you think!

Those tailpipes might give us a clue as to force induction?

I'm probably clutching at straws

Rear is fugly as hell

There’s a lot of camouflage / dummy panels going on front and rear, definitely not the finished article.

shame there's no audio/video so we can hear what it sounds like...

brakes look massive - are they that size on the 981GT4?

My PCCB disks fill the wheel, so I reckon yes.

Everyone is reading too much into the Spacing. I think the 982 GT4/Spyder is a new spacing... Wider than the 991.2 Sports Exhaust, Narrower than the 991.2 Standard exhaust... It's neither.

[Twinfan]

That rear end is nasty. It looks like a Panamera with a dodgy spoiler.

[Navanod]

There is a lot of tape/camo still hiding the finer details. This looks to be production bumpers and diffuser, but covered. Keep in mind they will more than likely add more stuff later (Side Scoops and possible different rear spoiler). The 981 GT4 didn't get the scoops until the debut... no test cars had them ever.

[GT4P]

The front bumper lower arch looks very much like RS venting?
Don't like the big gap between the exhaust tips , wonder what that's all about?

Aero package looks heavily developed vs the 981 GT4.

Revised front splitter with aero curtain type functionality on the front bumper channeling air around the front wheels to clean up that flow and then major changes at the rear end, big Venturi-like tunnel exiting at the centre. Wounded how far under the car it really goes.
Like the GT3.2/R vanes?
For this to all be functional you have to expect that this car much have a fair bit of power to generate the necessary speeds to make these changes effective.

Turbo power from the F6T of the 991.2 Carrera S would be a great fit here.. the car would be more akin to a mini GT2 RS.
I know the honchos said they’d like to continue to NA for GT cars but they have already proven they will change their minds on a whim so this is what I think they will do.

[Twinfan]

Interesting thoughts.

I would say there definitely has to be a reason for the exhaust style change rather than just a stylistic reason. Aero is a good shout.

[rkwm1]

So what will this be called a gt4 or gt4rs?

Definitely has RS look about it.

Maybe we'll get both - the first pics are the GT4 and the latest set the GT4 RS?

I think the new gt4 and spyder will be turbo.more power better co2 and they will improve the soundtrack .

A 400hp f6t also fits in with the way porsche do things ie detuned 991.1S engine in 981 gt4 why not same again of 991.2 S engine but will the ancillaries fit?

RS version PDK only then?

[fossilfuelled]

So who has tried to order one then?

Ever since I bought my GTS from Tonbridge I have been trying. I know they'll only take orders when its confirmed but enthusiasm cant hurt.

My guy has been very forthcoming with trying what he can.

We've had cars serviced by them for years so theres hope but we'll see.

[langlord]

I cant see a turbo unit in the car as it would put the performance to close to the GT3, and every conversation with the heads on the topic have had hints they will only be fitting NA engines.

Like most I have my letter of intent in with my dealer.

[decrassius]

I’ve got two letters of intent and expect success depends on how little $ I am willing to take in return for trading in my existing GT4
