This thread is hilarious. Its a 4 litre N/A motor. Thats it, there is no argument as my masseuse has seen it, touched it, fondled it and all but dribbled juices all over it...
Do people not believe me or something?!
Twin fan is also right in my opinion. Its not going to be called the 718, it'll just be GT4 and Spyder.

That’s nothing....!! I still can’t work out how to use the “forum emojis” on my iPhone..!! Every time I stick one of the iPhone emojis in I get something akin to this: 3568;(£54)&£;;(.....<CultOfFokker>

No more news on the 718 GT4 or Spyder, but I've been thinking about the styling.
Based on the mules we've seen, is anyone else not sold on the looks? In my eyes, the nose seems long and pointy and the rear quite large and bulbous. The "monkey's bottom" diffuser really doesn't help with that either, and topped off with Halfords-style spoiler I'm really not liking the way the car could look. I can't even think of a colour that would suit it.
Is it just me?

Not really what this thread's about but nice work dropping that in, sir 
Anyone considering a 718 GT4 might be interested in a low mileage version of the previous generation. I don't know, maybe not everyone is a fan of the styling of the new one or something like that. I know you are on the record as not interested in GT4's after your test drive but others may be.For what it's worth.....
I Had a long and interesting chat with a Senior chap on the Porsche stand at Geneva this week about the GT4 in particular. While he was very careful to not give too much away It was quite clear he had a pretty good handle on things and I came away very much with the impression that the GT4 won't be appearing in 2018.
Following that chat I personally now expect it might well pop up at Geneva in 2019....

As you were for 12 months folks.................
I was at OPC Cayenne launch event last night and was told that due to the much talked about suspension of UK/Europe production of all petrol engined cars, they won't be seeing any new sports cars form end April until November . I would be surprised therefore to see a GT4/Spyder launch before the end of the year perhaps with deliveries beginning in early 2019.

Thats not a 9,000 rpm rev counter in the interior shot. Looks like the standard 718 one i.e. turbonn7man said:

Even if the new GT4 has the engine based on the 4.0 GT3 it will, unfortunately, be seriously strangled and detuned and revs be capped to say c 8250 max.
I'd be quite happy with 8250 though Here's a short video of a 718 Spyder mule - any thoughts on the engine configuration?
