This is very important and one of the simplest way for PAG to improve aerodynamics on a GT4RS

Couple more appearances of the GT4 RS around 5:12 and 6:08 on the video.

Noticed that the GT4 RS was driven aggressively in the latest videos.

Curious to see if PAG is getting ready to set an official laptime for the GT4 RS given that the Cayenne Coupe Turbo set a laptime a few days back, the Panamera that has been testing seems to be pushing quite a bit as well.


GT4 RS at the start of the video and at 10:46 and 14:36

Question

Can we assume this is the one roaming around with CA manufacturer plates? (Front yellow blinkers gives it away).

Looking at that photo and comparing it to my GT4 I just noticed that the exit vents on the side of front bumper are more to the outside and the front plastic part is bigger.
The tape in front of that vent could be to disguise minor surgery to the bumper...like making it wider and the tape on the rear of the fender is to close the gap of the wider fender to the door? Just a theory....
The tape on the top have no idea what could be hiding except some kind of vent...but think a vent GT3RS style would be used as it's already developed and they can borrow it for the GT4RS.

Please...if someone in CA comes across this car take a pic of the interior....specially the area behind the new intakes.
The guy that posted the pics/info said 992 GT3 PDK ever...that should be an easy retrofit....but no pics.

Please Porsche, homologate the 2/3RS front louvres onto the 4RS

And not a single pic yet of the rear glass to figure out how the rear vents are ducted?

I'll bet it has at least 500-600 pounds of downforce with all those mods. Possibly more. The GT3 RS is up to 992 pounds

Is that an aero thingy under the rear most part of the back wheel arch?

You know guys what I don't really get is why all the pictures from a wide variety of sources and yet no on will simply walks up to it and takes pictures of the interior.
If it's parked on a public street I don't get why no one bothers to take inside pictures of the interior.
