GT4 RS breaks cover then...

I wasn’t even going to bother to comment….

sure, but its bang on the money

No front wheel arch vents, no swan neck wing and the incorrect style of rear quarter window vent.

Other than that it's spot on!

Fair enough
I thought it was interesting seeing it with colour applied rather than the black references, but yep fair enough.

Getting back to what is really important on PH, what will the first one go up for at Romans, Amari, Tom Hartley etc?

Whichever of those you send yours to! -

Edited to add: Crazy... but it might be mid £150K or above.

£160k+.

Some judicious applications of black tape on that car.

I think it’s part of the new GT package, on top of the WP.

As the vanilla 992GT3 is allegedly making north of £100k overs at the moment the GT4RS might make even more than that due to rarity value - despite not being the more desirable 911 of course.

This thing is going to look crazy! Thanks for sharing pictures…What sort of power and torque figures over the current GT4? Will they keep the performance below 992 GT3?

Performance of the GT4RS is an interesting one can't imagine Porsche will want to let it tread on the toes of the 992 GT3 (which is 'slower' than the 991.2 at 'accessible' road speeds at least) but it can't be far behind.

Whilst a couple of the first flippers have been advertised at just under £300k don't think they sold and I reckoned last Oct the 992 GT3 would realistically be 991.2 RS money so c£230k looks about right which is c £80k overs. Incidentally the first flipped 991.2 GT3RS sold for £295k last one being Cardiff OPC.

Unlike a 911 a Cayman has a ceiling price even a very rare RS.

Is it just going to be a tweak to the current 4.0? I wonder what kind of power outputs to expect

As 450bhp is possible with limited tweaks to the 3.8 in the 981 GT4 I think 475ish might be achievable in the RS and sit nicely in the hierarchy of GT products.

It'll all boil down to the GT4 RS' Power to weight ratio. Considering the standard GT4 PDK is already 1450Kg{15Kg heavier than GT3 PDK) then it's pretty much a given it'll be slower.
If the current silly season lasts until the GT4 RS launch then i wouldn't be surprised to see the first flipped one at nearly £200k.

My best guess and going by Porsche's historical power hierarchy between GT3/RS then 450-460PS is a likely figure.

Isn’t the point of a GT4 how well it can sustain speed through curves and bends, and its balance, rather than outright bhp numbers?

I’m not a fan of judging cars by their Ring lap times but I wouldn’t be surprised if come launch day the RS is announced to be faster than expected round the Ring with less power than expected.

Well its going to come on Cup 2 as an option - which they'll do the Ring lap on... sound can probably account for easy 10sec with the tyres alone on the Ring?
We don't have a Ring time for PDK GT4 - and RS will more that likely be PDK only - so this is will be another differential to the casual GT4 Manual.
The all the light-weighting.... Carbon panels... special wheels?

I can't see it being more than bulletproof 450-460ps. Would be shocked if it is.

Not sure if serious…

Ah wrong thread, I'll delete my post.
