Sounds a little like wishful thinking to me

jo_ker

absolutly. wishful thinking.

but ram-air is a measurable fact. would the ECU "allow/support" this ram-air-factor (with more fuel) i guess so.
and all carbon airboxes i know - are sounding a bit different. (but also a lot of a different structure internally...)
I also guess that the GT4RS carbon airbox will be a bit different too as the plastic one?



any news about the road tests? Februar.22 in Portugal? When exactly? further: the Embargo lifts also in Februar?

KLCC 88

what is the embargo again?

Maybe I missed this earlier, but did anyone else notice the lack of a headlight cleaning system with the optional PDLS+ headlights? It's not just on this car, but the two other PTS GT4 RS variants that were posted by Andy Preuninger on IG were also missing these nozzles. I also found it strange that the regular PDLS headlights are not an option on this car.

^^^ Good eye, very interesting! There will be a lot of happy people if this is the new norm...

Indeed....While I do like the black looks of the optional headlights I despise the nipples on the bumper and all the related hardware.
Have a feeling these cars are pretty much pre-production and may have a few details that may change for production, specially if some-kind of law covers this area and varies by market

Westcoast

This is what I thought was the law in the EU, along the lines of; "after a light get to a certain brightness there has to be a (auto) cleaning system in place to reduce glare from dirty lenses..." ?

Turki GT4 RS

Also there is no parking sensors (front).

jmartpr

Front parking sensors? As far as I know they are not available on the GT4/GT4RS/Spyder...rear ones will be included and the camera (Per US Law).

Turki GT4 RS

Yes front parking sensors, I did not know they were not available to the GT4 and spyder as well.

Westcoast

Yes, this... in Canada as well.

nozzles are only needed if lights are above 25w (hopefully i got the number correct)
the LED are bright enough for us - but with minimum Watt
i´m happy it got no nozzles.

in EU you can decide: if only rear-parking-sensors EUR 600,- OR rear-parking-sensors + rear-camera EUR 1.200,-

meaning when the journalists are allowed to publish their tests.

jmartpr

I'm pretty sure US Spec cars will add the washers if you opt for the upgraded lights.....independent of watts. Too bad.....
