Rumor is the GT3RS will have active fender vents.

Any chance the 4RS gets them too?

Don't forget about the active hood vents as well as the active rear wing.

The active wing seems pretty real.

The boxes over the fenders seems real?

Haven’t heard about active hood vents.

If the Cayman replacement is going to be full electric as stated - the GT4RS is going to be the first and last mid engine car to get the RS treatment (moniker) from Porsche?

From the video on the Jet Fuel Only YouTube channel (
)

The driver passing by the test GT4RS in LA said the shifter for the PDK was the same form as the PDK shifter in the GT3...Any insight to the significance of that?

To stir the pot furthermoore…. The GT4RS shares at least one major engine internal with all the other GT3 models/engines.

Unfortunately I can’t share more…. So I‘m still convinced it could be a detuned 992 GT3 engine

Could be as simple as Ti connecting rods, right?

It could be and if it is, it define other components in the engine too (pin size, rod thickness, engine block, piston design etc.).

What are the possibilities of putting the Speedster engine in the 4RS?
