It will happen to fatten Porsche’s pockets.

Photos of this car aren't brand new, but I saw them in my IG feed yesterday, and saw a few more details on this GT4 Cup/Clubsport car that I didn't notice before. It's the first time I've clearly seen some of these as they've usually been blocked off with camo or cladding:

- Wider front fenders with new front aero curtain area.
- Vents on top of front fenders (they don't seem to curve downward like the 2/3 RS)

All the spy shots have pretty much confirmed the above, but it's interesting to see the actual design more clearly now. And like the GT3 Cup car that also has wider front fenders...unsure if this will carryover to the road car, but it would be cool if it did.

Yea This is not the GT4RS.. this is a Clubsport or track car, seems to be the MR version based on rear quarter window scoops
-fixed windows.. see the bolts? that's not a road car.
-tow hook
-cambered alignment, Motorsport wheels and tires.

l just hope we get the 5 bolt wheels.

I think the fenders are regular ones with extensions like on the Cup cars.....and yes, this is a CS, no doubt about it.
Funny how everything has been put to use on the CS and still nothing on the RS

I wonder if they will have a scoop on the window duct for Weissach and leave it open for non-Weissach

We're in agreement. I specifically mentioned that this was a cup/clubsport car...but I don't think it's a stretch to think that some of the elements, particularly the widened front fenders w/vents that may make its way to the GT4RS road car.

You might be right about the extensions, but I'm not sure this is the case. I think for the bumper part, I agree, the extension would be integrated into the wider curtain/aero piece to meet the fender.

But if they are going to create a new mold for the fender with top vent, it looks more likely that the entire fender piece itself would be wider, like the GT3 RS.

Either way, it's cool!

If the latest speculation on Motor1 is anywhere close to the truth.

If the GT4 RS arrives and it has double wishbone front suspension, exactly how blown will your mind be?

Not very since what they really ought to do is produce such a setup for the rear. Unlike with the 911, making the front end better really wouldn't help much as the limitation is at the other end.

Not going to happen. GT4/RS is based on previous gen GT3 suspension. Assuming there is one more generation of GT4 coming, that would likely have the 992 GT3 front end.

Under the impression next platform will be electric.
