160? Try 200k including the ADM. A very well specd 718 is about 130. RS is typically 20-25K or more. Add in the ADM and you’re at 200K. If they offer a weissach package then more. Crazy that the 981 GT4 started in the mid 80s… bargain of the century.

Not that anyone cares, I’m leaning towards double wishbones and huge a picnic table wing instead.

What about rear view mirror instead?

Agreed. About 200-210k all in.

Frankly, with a tune, weight reduction, tires, etc with a current GT4, you wouldn’t be too far off this.

Pricing and availability on the other hand..... This thing is gonna be a damn unicorn.
Just listening to the engine in the first 10 seconds of the video, it's 99.99% clear that this is the GT3 engine, not the GT4 engine. Redline and sound... WOW.

Other manufacturers have the rear view camera there so it's possible, but highly unlikely.
I think there's a near 0% chance that will happen here (as the first implementation in Porsche's model line). At the end of the day, it's cheaper to throw in the radio as a few pounds gained for the US market. Radio delete is a minority % option, and GT models are already somewhat limited compared to other models - so from a bean counter perspective it's just not gonna happen.

Guesses time…will it pull more ADM than current gt3? The +$150k ADM gt3 at Champion is the current record holder, that I know. I don’t know if it actually brought that. Should be rarer.

I bet ADM will be higher because RS. Also it's first generation RS. Also let's face it, GT4 is an excellent car for road and track. It will have high demand. Custom Colour availability and boom!

I hope to get one!
