How much is a genuine GT4 wing ?

Imagine putting that on then pulling up beside a GT4 at the lights...

Or perhaps not since the 40 grand base turbo lookalike beats the double the price GT4. Which would hurt a little more if you’d shelled out 80 grand.

Ah yes but then again it’s only ever all about the sound .. laugh

I don’t need to drive away quickly from the lights to prove anything, unlike you I’m not a beta. You’ve missed the point here.

I can sit there in my alpha presence and intimidate them with my OEM wing, while they’ve tried to make their car look like something it’s not. Dominate the inside lane.

Besides they’re all slower off the line than our Cayenne Turbo S, so why don’t I find that any fun to drive?

for once we're in agreement smile

and fitting that wing to a GTS has to be the most ridiculous suggestion i've seen on here, and there have been a few...

unfortunately the 718 GTS simply lacks the presence that a GTS should have - the 981 GTS was more successful in this regard.

somehow Porsche did a better job (styling wise) with the very subtle changes on the T which looks great. a 4.0T with a couple of go faster details on the front and back bumpers would have been so much better.

Anyone even considering spending approaching the difference in cost between a GT4 and GTS on some Halfords style tacky plastic to artificially dress up a GTS to look not even remotely like a GT4 needs to give their head a serious wobble.

Some chose the GT4 over GTS just because they can. To be clear not saying those chose GTS because they can't buy GT4.

Those chose GT4 will prob hate the hashness on some roads, but sometimes we pay to be punished coolsmile

Porsche have played the game to make the GTS looks like a steal, so they would expect the majority to go for GTS.

I don't think I could bring myself to spend £100k on a car that has seat belt material for inner door handles. There are a million and one reasons why people choose one over the other. Money may be a factor, but certainly isn't the overriding one I'd say.

Yes, money was not the overriding factor in me not buying a rolls as my daily runaround...

Why whats wrong with it? Hardly a crazy suggestion. You might not agree with it, but I bet many people would like the GTS to have a fixed wing for a bit of extra drama.

The fact you find it the most ridiculous suggestion is all the more ridiculous. I'm only offering some options. I am happy with my R. Don't be such a buzzkiller.

Yep, I'd imagine the chances of that are 1 in a million and even if one did, who cares?

It is hardly a cheap tacky Halfords product. Come on, get it together. Whats with everyone in this thread? Such sweeping statements, exaggeration and melodrama going on.

Everyone? Sweeping statements?

Anyway. I agree with av185 regarding the above. There is absolutely no way that I would consider adding a wing or other similar addenda to my forthcoming GTS 4.0. They are slightly different cars, aimed at slightly different people. Some prefer the extroversion of the GT4, others like me prefer the under-the-radar looks of the GTS.
