The 718 GT4 might be arriving sooner than you think!

There is no separate switch for auto blip only on 981 Spyder GT4 and 'manuel' GT3.

Henry Catchpole new video on speedster shows him turning off the blip with a button located on console behind the shifter where you have the exhaust button, roof up/ down buttons etc, I have not seen it on a 981 gt4 or Spyder or any 911 for that matter (perhaps it is on gt3 and I never noticed it on any of the reviews).

That video doesn't premiere for another 10 mins yet? so maybe this is something new - we'll see.

edit: - found the link on the CNET Carfection site... watching!!

edit: - ok there is no rocket science here - the have renamed the sport button to auto blip... lol - like it should have been from the start.

Yes there is, it's the sport button... the only other thing it does is the different cooling regime with the center rad and lower target temperature. It doesn't change throttle mapping or anything else so it is essentially blip on or off..

It's ok, AV185 only specialises in pricing

Unless you are hooning round Silverstone in 22 degrees and could actually do with the third rad.

At extended high revs the extra rad kicks in whether or not the sport button is on.

So like I say there is no separate switch for auto blip ONLY.

From Rennlist; 718 GT4 Paddle Shift

That must be the red 718 gt4 I was send images of some time ago, look you can see the black wrap pealing away on the edges. My guess is they have a yellow one too which I also have pictures of. If that is the case the exterior design of the 718 gt4 was sorted some time ago as I’ve had the images for sometime and all this testing must be down to the engine / emissions issues we keep hearing about.

Would you be kind enough to share the images you have of a red and yellow test car? I’ve only seen the black ones and I’d be really interested to see how these colours look. Ta.

Porsche tweeting 718 GT4 Clubsport, maybe a sign of publicity machine winding up for road car announcement?

https://twitter.com/porsche_europe/status/11319845...

[Twinfan]

Possibly, but they've tweeted about it before. If they continue, or keep talking about the Cayman in general, then it's definitely a sign. They mentioned the 911 convertible a bit before the speedster launch...

[MeisterH]

Watch this space guys.....

[Twinfan]

A tweet about wings now - another hint perhaps...

Does it give you wings?!

Talk about Porsche sweating this asset ..
But I guess the particulate question continues to complicate all model updates ...

[Obafemi09]

Spoke to my dealer principle today, he says the rumours of a Goodwood unveiling appear to be true which should be superseded with an official announcement coming in June with regards to the car...

[Nisher]

There are rumours on Rennlist there may be an announcement this week.

[T2TC]

Would be interesting if almost 2 years after this thread was started the prophecy may almost be true. Will also be good to put to bed the speculation around engine specs etc.
