That exhaust looks to tell a different story. Seems like a GT4 Touring to me.

I was thinking the same thing, unless all new 718s will have split pipes due to the new particulate filter.

I thought the same - GT4 touring - but the brakes are from the S/GTS. GT4 has much bigger brakes, especially in the rear. And we know since the introduction of the T it's not the T either because the exhaust and diffuser are indeed pointing to the GT4. Catch 22 is killing me!

P.S. He also confirmed the 718 Spyder with the same downsized naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six from the 991.2 GT3 as in the 718 GT4!
Any news? I want one badly.. Even booked plane tickets for Geneva Car show (7-17 March)!

Photos have been showing up for a year. Same old rumors. Same old speculation. Nothing new to see here. Incredible...what is the record for the longest, most speculated about Porsche ever.....this 982 GT4 needs to be in the running.

The boxster looks to be wearing the 981 spyder wheels. I love those.

This -^.

Whatever it is, Porsche’s doing an unusually-good job of leaking nothing but pictures.

Is there any functional benefit to have the exhaust split wide as opposed to the center design on the 3/RS/caymans?

Good point about the diffuser but is the new design (along with the big diffuser) better than the previous design with center exhaust and much smaller diffuser?
