The 718 GT4 might be arriving sooner than you think!

Pics from facebook.

So is this it then, the 718GT4?

[rkwm1]

Gutted. No GT4RS then?

[rkwm1]

So what will this be called a gt4 or gt4rs?

Definitely has RS look about it.

Maybe we'll get both - the first pics are the GT4 and the latest set the GT4 RS?

RS version PDK only then?

[rkwm1]

if Gt4RS is built how much hp will it have, 450?

Twinfan said:

Me neither - can't see an RS version coming, nor one with 450bhp.

So you dont think these latest pics are of GT4RS as you suggested earlier?

I think the air outlets in front of front wheel shows this is a RS version and it will be here March 18.

Fingers crossed anyway!

why bother when they can make more money selling base model 911 T's for £100k lol

RS Cayman would be amazing imo, but cannot see it.

Yes, it would be a special car.

I was just posing the question

I don't think there will be an RS version - just a GT4 as the entry-level GT product (with a manual box only to slow it down). That's where it sits in the lineup.

Fair enough.

I still thinking a GT4RS is on the way. Make hay while the sun shines....

NASP and manual is almost dead I think:

MX-5
GT86
Mustang
AM Vantage
GT3

Can't think of any others!

vantage is no longer NA

Carbon is being used a lot more on this new car apparently and I've heard that as a result of the more expensive materials plus engine developments that the price will be quite a bit more expensive than the last one.

As I've said, my cleaning lady who is also a cleaner at Porsche says it's a 4 litre N/A flat 6. I've been told that it's a development of the gt3 unit with some different internals.

I was told that it really should be a GT4 RS considering the developments but it's not.

Make of that what you will. Expensive materials and more aero looks plausible to me in terms of the exterior shots.

I thought it was your masseuse who was providing you with all the info?

well if this is going to be just a standard gt4, the RS should be something else.

Did they tell why it wont be called a GT4RS?

Twinfan said:

There won't be an RS! They'll be keeping that branding 911 exclusive IMHO.

No harm in dreaming, theres ALWAYS hope!

Along the same timeline as the GT4, I imagine...

http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/a...

Based on these pictures and the last spyder/gt4 similarities, i'd say the first pics i posted are of the GT4 and the recent ones are GT4RS.

Perhaps a GT4/Spyder with F4T and GT4RS with 4.0?

Twinfan said:

Same GTS front bumper again. Strange. I guess they could swap it out pre-launch but it seems odd. Previous GT mules have always had the correct bodywork on them.

The spyder looks too complete to be altered much. I'd say the only thing which will be different is the exhaust and rear diffuser(or at least i hope).

Have a GT3 and GT3RS ever been launched together before?

Or maybe a limited amount built like 911R?

IMHO the first pics are the finished car. The second pics are an earlier development mule with bodywork they've decided against - it's clearly much more roughly finished.

I cant see why they would have allowed photos to be taken of the second one if its not to be built. These "spy shots" are probably set up by Porsche to start building the excitement, hence no video taken and no sound available. If they were taken by a enthusiast, the person who took them must know the whole Porsche owners community is anxiously waiting to find out which engine it is going to get!

Guess we'll find out in next 2-3 months.

Twinfan said:

There are regular spy-shot takers who hang out near the 'Ring and the Porsche factory (among others).

They need to get themselves a camcorder then!

[rkwm1]

I think the first pic with GTS front is GT4 and the second pic is GT4RS.

I can't see any reason why they would be releasing spy shots of the same car with different fronts.

I think we'll see both cars at Geneva in March possibly with GT3RS.



If you look at the spy shots of the GT3RS it has duck tape in the same area as on the second set of pics. For this reason i think this will be a GT4RS. Also according to Fokkers source the new car will be quite a bit more expensive than the last GT4 with carbon and GT3 engine which also leads me to think it will be GT4RS.

I could be totally wrong again. I thought the GT4RS was going to be launched this year in March!

[rkwm1]

Well as nobody else thinks GT4RS is coming, i should get the first one!

People... Mules are Mules... They are borrowing parts from other models (GTS) to disguise what is really happening. It's not that difficult to understand. The 981 GT4/Spyder was never on the road in full production form (Side Intake Scoops, Rear Spoiler and Rear Diffuser were not revealed until official debut).

Image from May 2014, 10 months before launch. Pretty much the same car that i got delivered to me with exception of wheels, Side scoops and spoiler ends.

[rkwm1]

Im in the 4.0l camp but I'm still been told its a RS. Maybe your masseuse was mistaken in thinking it will only be GT4?

It's possible isn't it, I'm not completely ruling that out either. If its a flat 4 turbo, I'm going to run for the hills (without my masseuse)!
