In that case I will have one while you search.

Hey guys,

Take it easy on me.

If the power does end up around the 440 H/P figure or close to that ???
Then the cost escalates to Plus $130-Plus US Dollars for Base GT4 RS ???
Add options and it ends up what, maybe in the $150,000.00 US Dollar range !!!

Seems to me the best buy would be the GT4 ................

Just adding some additional useless comments,
Terry

All true, but I think you could take that argument to the point of concluding that a Base Cayman/Boxster is actually the best buy. It's a fine car but it isn't a GT4, and a GT4 is a fine car but won't be a GT4RS. In the end I suppose the best buy (ie, choice of model) is the one that minimally meets or exceeds your requirements. Money may only be one variable on that list.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but, there are at least 7 test mules based on the license plate numbers. That is pretty encouraging.

I'm wondering just how little time there will be between the two. Obviously the GT3 is imminent as reviewers have already been in it and the final car has been shown, even if vaguely covered by sheets and stuff.
Now we're seeing pics of the GT4RS also completed... and who knows if it's being shown to reviewers as we speak.

So are they going to release the two together? Within a couple months of each other?

Those large black plastic pieces on the front corners of the front bumpers look hideous. I'm sure there is some kind of aerodynamic advantage to having them but from these pictures, they don't look good. Hopefully, this isn't the final product and maybe at 90% complete and those plastic pieces still have some development to go.

Can't be long now. Interesting about the color that we're seeing here as well. Pastel Orange? ...and with the door script too.

There are definitely intake scoops/vents where the C-pillar window would be in a GT4 in those orange car pics..

Unfortunately the wheel design shown in those pics is the one with CLs as shown in those other black car pics. Like you I'm hoping NOT.

I was thinking lower scoops (not the quarter windows), the shot looks like the standard 718 black intakes.
