Of course we are all speculating. That is what forums in large part are for :-)

I know very little about it but my guess is that they will go with a non GT3 4.0l engine, because it makes zero sense to compete against the GT3 with a platform that could outperform it. Not saying that it would in stock form, but they are not dummies and know that it would not take long for tuners to figure out how to tune it so it would.

Yes, it’s all speculation. However it must be something extra special given the Porsche hierarchy. It’s got to be better than the last GT4 and 718 GTS - right?

My guess on pricing $8500 above GTS on both cars, which is fine with me. Thats more than I paid for mine with tax...
And my cars makes over 420...

Fabspeed Race Headers
Cobb Tune
Polsihed Lighter Forgelines all around

And the 981 body is prettier, I don't care what you say...

Price will be much higher than $8500 above GTS. Add to that a dealer surcharge.

Not a fan of those wheels. Look like spinners that belong on a 78 Regal.

Agree. Some times you get it right the first time.

They look great. Like a natural evolution of the wheels on the 981.

I think you're both experiencing bias because you're acclimated to what you're used to. It happens with pretty much every iteration of a widely acclaimed car. Something changes and it freaks people out, no matter how subtle.

Also there's zero context to this picture. They may be aftermarket for all we know.
