The 718 GT4 might be arriving sooner than you think!

It can be based on an RS, if an RS is a production model.

In fact the first GT3 RS (996), existed purely as a homolgation run for suspension mounts for the next seasons race car.

Thanks. Maybe a surprise reveal of one soon then, as the clubsport sound nothing like the this GT4.

Can the GPF real make that much difference to the sound?

I thought the new emission piece also had an effect on the aftermarket?

User sonorous had a nice explanation on RL.

" I don't know much about the new particulate filters or how Porsche will implement them. However, I did some brief research about it online and it appears that it will be implemented in a very similar way as a catalytic converter. It can be a separate unit or integrated into one of the existing cats. So it seems to me that (assuming particulate filters do impact sound negatively in the Porsche implementation) solving that problem will be the same as the cat problem. Plenty of vendors supply race headers. Depending on where you live (especially in the US) it may be more or less difficult to deal with the local emissions regulations. So I can't see how anyone would be screwed. If any 718 GT4 owner wants to fix the potential sound issue, it should be pretty straight forward.

This is a very technical presentation on the topic of particulate filter implementations: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/fi...12_bischof....

Possibly an important Porsche announcement is coming, clues came from the latest Evo magazine and the subscribers cover leaflet.

The next Evo magazine will be delayed due to a manufacturer's "exciting new car embargo" which means a late November release.

Just so happens the next issue is a 70th Anniversary of Porsche special.

Maybe you're right, but journalists have already been given rides in the 992, maybe the embargo is the finer details of it, but, the GT4 feels like a more exciting release than a 992 C2/C4.

To me it does anyway.

I thought it was a run out 991.2 GT car like the 997 RS 4.0 was.

[Fokker]

Looks to me like Panamera GTS and 911 992. I doubt they’d release the gt4 at the same time?

Evo appear to be focusing on the new McLaren Speedtail and other British cars, no Porsche as far as I can see.

Read again what I said, there's an embargo on a new car that's delaying the next issue of Evo in 4 weeks time, not the current issue.

In another forum, the poster who took the photo yesterday said "He drove off especially slowly when he noticed that I had him on the screen." (google translate) so keeping the exhaust a tease seems to be part of the publicity strategy?

[Fokker]

I can believe that...

What with the larger diffuser and double lower spoiler, the back end on the new car is a mess.
I really hope they tidy it up for production.

This has been mentioned before lol. And not like this partnership hasn't worked well in the past!.
lol - The internet would melt.

I don't think the edge sections on the wing do the car any favours aesthetically.

Quite slab sided particularly as it appears lower than the GT3 wing.

I don't care anymore if it's got a 600hp N/A 10000rpm 6 litre V12 and weighs 1000kg. It's getting boring. Someone who works for Porsche just FFS spill the beans!!

After using mine, along with a number of others, at Oulton Park yesterday I'm inclined to agree! Although I'm still interested to see the new one when it finally arrives, I just can't see how much more enjoyable it can be over the original. Unless people get more enjoyment from making money on one rather than from driving it!
