For those who are looking to buy a new 718 in any variant, if an allocation is not available before production ends and a new Cayman or Boxster is still desired this video shows a glimpse and discussion of that future EV as shown as Porsche concept cars.
For those desiring to skip the discussion and just see the concept cars go to the following timestamps:
Cayman 4:53
Boxster 8:43

Because people are having trouble finding an allocation for a GT4RS, or do find an allocation but the ADM is too high. So I thought it could be of value to someone just looking in this thread, which has high views, to know more about what comes after the 718 is out of production so they can make a better decision.

You keep wondering about the future and we’ll stick with the present😎
BTW I have a Taycan and a 964 in the garage.

Gulf Blue color for GT4RS
Dear all,
I would like to ask what are your thoughts on ordering the GT4RS with Weissach Package (WP) in classic Gulf Blue color? How would you combine Gulf Blue with Gulf Orange + exposed carbon fiber in WP? I have a few thoughts, such as ordering the side “GT4RS” decal (exactly the one that is available in the configurator) + model designation in the back “GT4RS” and “PORSCHE” lettering in the rear glass in Gulf Orange.
Moreover, what are your thoughts in general about Gulf Blue? Will it fit the GT4RS at all?
I have a feeling that if done wrong the color combination (blue + orange) can look tacky and somewhat childish, therefore, I am looking forward for your opinions, ideas and suggestions.
Thank you in advance,
Alex

First...you are aware that adding those details will be a CXX option.
If you can get PAG to accept the requests (and are ok with price) I would do the decals on the doors and rear bumper, just a little bit of color so the Gulf blue does all the talking.
Feel a bit more adventurous? How about the side view mirrors, but then you would be painting the carbon fiber. Center hood and spoiler stripe could be an option.
On the inside I would do seat belts and door pulls, probably you will have to settle for basic orange (these can be done aftermarket). Also the seat belt passages on the LWBS (also can be done aftermarket).
If you really want to splurge go orange CXX/deviated stitching.

Hey! Thank you for your reply, you’ve got some great ideas! I’m aware that all the mentioned above options are CXX and will cost a fortune, so I’m trying to find a sweet spot between perfecting the “Gulf” spec and spending a lot of money. If I remember correctly, the hood stripe + spoiler stripe is roughly €8,000, so I’ll have to be careful with picking CXX options, I think I’ll do some things aftermarket.

INTERIOR SOUND without the WP Air Scoops:
AP said in the Top Gear video that the WP gives a better interior sound because it includes the hoods or scoops made out of carbon fiber that are in place of the small side windows. AP said this scoop gives a little ram effect and the chamber of air, under the scoops, gives a better interior sound, but louder, a little bit.
So I have wondered if there is something unpleasant with the base GT4RS interior sound since it does not have the scoops. This video is a 718 GT4RS Clubsport running wide open around Daytona. I think the video creator lowered the volume of the interior sound so he could overdub his voice, and still be heard, as he explained the drive around the track. I did not pickup anything unpleasant in the interior sound. In fact I think it sounds great.

Gulf Blue IMHO is one of those colors that looks far better in person than it photographs, but here is a photo anyway!
