To quote Mr Preuninger....GT cars will always be normally aspirated (thank goodness).

lol next GT3 will be Turbo also, sorry to say.

And the Cayman in the Pics might not even be a GT car !

It’s encouraging to hear AP backing the atmospheric engines in his future GT cars.

@ 18:30

As we all know AP will say whatever is necessary at that point in time... the whole GT3 gearbox thing... it is his job so it's fine....when we get to Turbo engines expanding across the range we'll hear about how these are now the best GT cars ever - performance etc etc. He expressed his opinion and preferences as an enthusiast as well as an employee...but some of the decisions will be out of his hands.....similarly although to a less extent for Frank Walliser. And that interview was 3 years ago.

Maybe they pivot the GT brand to be about Chassis, Aero, Adjustment, Handling, this DNA is consistent from GT2, GT3 and GT4 - the PU whilst important and historically essential... maybe starts to be less of a priority? The products will evolve over time - they have to....to be competitive... Maybe they keep the GT3 NA and eventually augment it with Hybrid tech if this becomes viable for a GT car...and the other cars in the range go Turbo?

They will launch a turbo race car 1st to pave the way. Next GT3 is 4 years away it can only go turbo.

Mmm, astatine wouldn't work as it's a solid at room temp and it's also radioactive! Alright for the RY cars!

Trouble is its stuck pretty resolutely onto another element..If they can make hydrolysis viable on a huge scale then i agree hydrogen will be the future.

[Porsche911R]

So it will be a turbo then ;-)

That's weird. I clicked on your username and then the 'email me' tab and sent a message. Have just tried again anyway. Don't think I've actually sent a PM on here before. Is there something else I needed to do? Thanks!

Interestingly timed release, reminding us of the essence and purpose of the original....

Same car as last month, on the same trip out by the look of it. Old pics.

Apologies - how close to being production ready?

[Twinfan]

It seems pretty close. Maybe unveiled at Geneva next year alongside the GT3 RS like the last GT4.

That rear diffuser is a mess, its obviously not the finished item but it's bit like a baboons arse at the moment.
The lovely little lower spoiler on the rear or the old car will definitely be a nicer design than this raised job too.

The old car might be the prettier one... ?
