The 718 GT4 might be arriving sooner than you think!

Get out and buy a 2016, drive it for a year - tell your dealer you'll sell it back to them below market value and then they'll give you a 718 GT4 when they launch... thats how it works isn't it? 
Seriously - if you want a GT4 nothing better than the current one.... plenty available for nice money - enjoy it and enjoy your life.
I've had one already. I did around 4.5k miles in it. I sold it a because i thought i'd get a .2 GT3 allocation. Seriously - if you want a GT4 nothing better than the current one.... plenty available for nice money - enjoy it and enjoy your life.
Cracking car though. Love to get another one day.
Looks like i'll have to find a reasonably priced .2GT3 instead.

An Rennlist poster who was at Weissach yesterday posted the following just after the "shopping mall" pics. I've added some interpretation to his comments, you have to read between the lines:
My phone was away from me for like 6 hours, but that's pretty much the rumoured car. [Flat six engine]
The other half of the twin will the same but the the cloth top like old ones. [Spyder and GT4 identical, bar the 981 Spyder roof]
Engine will be bespoke to the car(s) for a while. The race car version which I am most interested is going to be a evolution but will be competitive with competition from the cheater cars from McLaren and AMG. Without the extra weight of useless stuff for the class like snails. [New 4.0ltr engine in the GT4/Spyder will be used in other cars in the future. No turbos in the GT4 race cars either]
The thing that was suppose to be on top of them is bonkers. I will totally take it over a GT3 without even thinking. But it is neither confirmed nor denied. The car I saw was just a figment of my imagination apparently. [GT4RS mule]
Cars will also follow the current transmission rules. Cars also don't need someone to press the brakes for torquing. [Manual and PDK options for the GT4, PDK only for the RS if they produce it]
There was something sitting there without a hard top, but it was completely ignored as the car next to it is the Youtube car, I already placed an order directly with Weissach, it is the ultimate widow maker, good luck to my wife. I suggested a mandatory training session with purchase. They also think its' a good idea just so their customers won't be dying left and right. [911 Speedster, the "GT3 convertible"]
The same guy also posted elsewhere:
As for the title of this tread (Re: Porsche Cayman GT4 RS), I saw the car, it isn't confirmed or denied. All based on market acceptance. But I can say it is a bad assed car, pretty much the very best out of Weissach for a since a long while, and that already included the GT2 RS. It's not about the ultimate fastest lap time, but more about the car itself.
Told you, no harm in wishing! just need a WP package and i'll be a happy man My phone was away from me for like 6 hours, but that's pretty much the rumoured car. [Flat six engine]

The Rennlist poster who races a ClubSportm is getting the new CS and was at Weissach last week states that it's manual only for the GT4 and Spyder. He also states the engine is a stroked version of the old 3.8 sporting a 4.0 capacity and 420bhp.
Given his previous posting info and reputation, I'm accepting his info as correct.
Will the RS if built have this engine or the GT3 engine?Given his previous posting info and reputation, I'm accepting his info as correct.
