The 718 GT4 might be arriving sooner than you think!

Are we to assume the road car will release at the LA auto show so that clubsports will be ready for daytona in January?

And there was i thinking you'd been enrolled on FBI's Witness protection programme , for divulging corporate secrets..My info tells me since you spoke to AP there has been some changes done..Primarily the new 4L has been shelved for cost reasons and been replaced by the 'off the shelf' 3.8L from the old GT4 but fitted with the 991.1 GTS Powerkit to give the same 420HP.

I would be amazed if this was the case but I would welcome it certainly.
I'm currently wondering what prices of the 991.1 GTS are going to do as they seem to be keeping value better than pretty much any Porsche model at the moment and very few on the locator. Most are 991.2 GTS' of which I own one.

The power kitted unit in the 991.1 GTS is superb for sure. The 991.2 GTS is a lot more urgent with the blowers but its really quite muted in comparison.

Andreas told me an all pretty new 4 litre NA flat 6 at Goodwood so unless he's deliberately being inaccurate then I'm believing that...
Said Spyder was much more of a drop to GT4 this time so I'm believing that too...

It’s the rumor club sport info which no one can confirm even though all race teams were there !
No info is getting out on any cars atm, before there was always a firm leak, now days we get nothing but poor rumors.

Apologies little confused, what do you mean by they were all there?

Is it just me, or does it look like this one still has the active spoiler?

Yep it does… early prototype car. They may all be running different parts in various states of development. We won’t see the completed car until the official launch.

My mate Andreas... AP

Although by the sounds of it what with everything going on with new emissions regs, it could all have changed.

Looks like two Clubsports to me. Full roll cages, camo bodywork, 18" wheels, silver brake calipers. One with silver wheels one with black.

Both cars will have reduced cell cats and no GPF compared to the road car which won't sound like that!

Can only be automatic gearbox, right?

[Twinfan]

Yep, PDK in those cars.
