GT4 is barely a GT car It has the 'N55' red head stepchild engine treatment, not a real GT engine. The new one is supposed to have the detuned 991.2 4L GT3 motor which will be sick. |

The problem is unless you have already bought a P car (or 5) from a dealer you aren't getting the 718GT4 new...doesn't matter how much $$ you have or who you think you are. I tried to get on the list at two dealerships and the sales guys just laughed at me...literally. One guy actually said "No chance. Zero. I can sell you a Macan if you want."

And yes, the dealerships did get that many allocations on the previous GT4 so they should get at least as many this time since the production numbers will be higher. Quote:

It was heavily Stressed enough that this not an M5 Coupe and that it opens a chapter that will gradually add to throughout its Life Cycle. When the M2CS debuts the window is not too long to close in regards to including further progression, as all focus will be put on the new M3 and M4 Coupe models.

However, there are still good guy dealerships out there who will sell you a car at MSRP if you got on the list well in advance. Some give first priority to existing customers and then go through the list which is completely fine by me. It will require a fair bit of calling around to get the list of dealerships but should be relatively straight forward after that. |

I exchanged a few messages with a local race team owner who drives the old GT4 Clubsport and has seen the new GT4 clubsport. He was very happy with what Porsche have done with it. The new car should continue to produce more power right till the redline where the older car stopped a few hundred RPM short of the redline. The improved intake should be similar to the new GT3 as well. The difference in the engine internals between the GT3 and GT4 is purely due to necessity. The GT4 does not need the fancy internals because it does not need to rev as much. It's a well known fact that there are not many cars that can take as much abuse on the track as the ones from Weissach. I fully expect the new car to knock 10 seconds off the time set by the old GT4 (7:40) on the Nurburgring which brings it very close to the M4 GTS's time. Now add the fact that it does this with a manual transmission and no turbos. There's something very pure and special about it. |

But in 2-3 years time there will be nothing stopping me from getting a used GT3, GT4 or GTS (stick is a must). Plenty of choices out there with less than 10k miles on them.

Sounds can deceive, but doesn't that (fast) *chuck* sound during shifting rather suggest PDK than manual transmission for trained ears (Monza circuit - October 2018 testing) ? (fixed side windows = Clubsport).

No one knows what engine the 718 GT4 will get but here are the 4 rumoured contenders:
*Detuned 4.0L GT3 *All new 4.0L N/A *Old 3.8L + X51 powerkit *3.0L turbocharged Gatte, what are your thoughts on a GT4-RS ? If one is in the pipeline, thats the one i'd imagine would get the GT3 engine |

Does EVERYONE really like the Mirrors, or is there merely an envy/fury that the OG M2 didn't come with them ? To me they look Lexus/Acura/Batman Japanese . JMO
