152 on the back straight is strong for a GT4, do you have headers/tune? I can only 150+ when I draft behind a GT3 NASCAR style.

I used to really crawl through the carousel until I rode with former Stig Ben Collins. He demonstrated how to send it through there. sideways. one handed. while on the radio to the cars behind. Did I mention Ben can drive?
Yep…with a strong turn at 11.

T2 and T16-18 are my working targets. I’m definitely leaving time there.

I’ll take a MSRP, please.

Yep. So far, I’m hearing 2x ADMs for the 4RS.

New louvres design looks good , but less aggressive than gt3rs. And didn't notice the cutout before you mention it, wooow!

Hopefully, some of us will get to see it in the flesh on Saturday!

Was not expecting the cut out on the front fender behind the front wheel. That's interesting and I'd be curious to know from an aerodynamic's pov how that helps, I assume, with drag and/or downforce? The other thing I notice from this picture that I don't believe has been mentioned previously is the rocker panel shows to be much wider.

Questions that still remain:
1. are wheels forged or magnesium?
2. is exhaust titanium?
3. are any panels carbon fiber?
4. are wheels and tires larger?
5. (obviously) what engine is it using?
6. (obviously) how much hp and torque?
7. max engine speed?
8. pdk only?
9. center lock only?
10. downforce numbers?
11. what exactly are the quarter window vents for? a. feed engine cool air b. engine intake c. brake cooling

Reduce the lift produced by the wheel? Or these cutout seems to have same functionality as the integral side louvres on 3RS?
And I just looked at the pics of normal GT4, the rocker panel does seem wider.
Lots of details u guys have found than me alone looking at the spy shots.

If it's for the frontside down force, I will be assuming that the car can run faster on the ring, there's a lot of understeer in the official ring lap.

Well, it's there for a reason. Otherwise, it would just be a smooth panel without a seemingly weird notch cut out. It doesn't necessarily mean that it directly reduces lift from the wheel but it may help smooth the airflow coming from the turbulent wheel which has an indirect positive effect on downforce and/or drag. That's why you see guiding vanes on some cars such as the 720s right behind the front wheels.

In the case of the GT4 RS, I can't say that I've seen a solution such as this implemented on another car where it's a notch/cut out.

Prefer more muscling feel.

Those are Iron rotors!!!!! they don't have the hardware needed for 2 piece rotors....really hope this is an option...come on Porsche make CL an option too!!!!
Those two things could drive the base price down a bit more, making the base price a bit less hard to swallow....and making us track rats a lot happier!
