Data from the ECU gathered during track use...give John at BGB a call. He can go into the details.

After two laps it was reading 12 degrees C over ambient (the side window reading kept matching the dash temp pretty close)

I don't do Fahrenheit but that's the difference between a mild day and a really warm one. The radiators spill hot air into the wheel well which travels back straight into the scoops. Brakes also of course.

On the street you'll never load the car for long enough that it becomes an issue.

They didn't build that crazy intake contraption for the 718 CS MR for no reason...
Do you know how much the air temp creep reduced your top end by on straights on your gt4? I've paid attention to my turbo cars loss and it's quite hefty on one, about 10kph diff on a 160kphish straight between the first hot lap and the everything is on fire lap, but I'd expect NA power loss to be nothing like that, right?

Another sound clip of the GT4RS, this time from a reviewer in the USA.

No it's not that bad, a couple kph off. Probably derated from 440 hp to 410 ish.

I wish this was PG, would have been my choice, but PG is not part of the 4RS color palette...this is either Irish or BRG
I know PG sometime comes out darker like that (I have a PG GT4) but look closely and you will see it's a dark green....

You can't do PTS Python on the RS? That is a massive shame!!! :-(

Nope....it looks like colors used in the regular palette usually are never available as PTS.
They do offer nice options for greens on the 718 platform...this time I went a little different but stayed within the family of greens.

Does anyone have any information about which colors are available as PTS for the GT4 RS?

Or if it is the same as for all 718 shown in Porsches online configurator?
