It could be a test mule for another engine going in a completely different car.
Possibly.... (And there have been discussions over on Rennlist mooting that as a possibility.... ) But.... It just seems a bit unlikely that Porsche would already be sticking different motors in the new 718 GT4/Spyder bodyshells so close to the unveiling of the 2nd Gen models.... It seems as if they’ve already had enough difficulty fitting/configurating/meeting EU regs for the engine in the upcoming models... Without making life even more complicated, and messing around with further mule/engine types before the new Spyder/GT4 is even announced..... But, who knows....That's an old quote I think.
I see that the mules are back at the Nurburgring this week, no video has appeared as yet though. I've read a couple of new suggestions that the GT4 will be a turbo 6 and that an RS version is still under consideration. SO basically, Porsche have done a great job in keeping the speculation going!
Fokker - did your masseuse ever get back to you re. the noise?

Would be very interesting if they only realised an RS for the GT4.... would also mark the first non-911 RS... so a big statement for Porsche in their 70th year.
Could be spun to get them out of the 718 = 4 Pot' marketing corner they have backed themselves into, if they only use the 6 in GT4 and the 4 in the Spyder....
anyway the wheels keeps turning..

No not at the moment. Its all up in the air! I see that the mules are back at the Nurburgring this week, no video has appeared as yet though.

The article told me nothing new other than the (mobile) evo website is a mess of adverts and pop ups.
. Perhaps.... But it is the first article published in the past year that has not been absolutely definitive that the new GT4/Spyder WILL have a N/A flat 6..... Which is interesting in itself....
