Unless the 718 GT4 gets some detuned version of the GT3's 4.0L engine.
Besides the gearing, the one thing that you could (sort of
) knock the 981 GT4 for was the lack of a true GT-spec engine. It was the 991.1 CS engine...which is obviously good, but not the 8800+ revving monster we have seen in the various forms of the GT3 lately.
Although Porsche might keep that in their back pocket for the GT4-RS. That's going to be a lot of fun to watch.
EDIT - I look at the 981 GT4 as a very similar exercise as the 1M was for BMW. I think they wanted to test the market, and so while the 981 GT4 has
tons of upgrades over a 981 GTS, Porsche didn't go to the level of giving it a GT-spec engine. Now that they know people really will buy a GT-level Cayman, we might see them sprinkle more magic into the 718 version.
