Looking forward to seeing a comparison test between a 2.5L turbo GTS and the 4.0L NA GTS.

Excited to see a option to the GT4 and the 20k adm (Socal) I was quoted. Looking forward to taking the natural progression from my F82 to Caymen / Boxster. The PDK option will be the icing.

My money is on the 2.5 for the acceleration tests. I can't wait to pass one of these on the track, after my APR tune.

But it's still for the 2.5l version

No doubt a tuned 2.5 GTS will be faster. The 4.0 isn't about a performance gain as much as it is a sales gain. It will sound good and no doubt be fun to rev out but I'm fairly certain the 2.5 GTS will remain the track weapon of choice for those who want the best lap times.

PDK is faster than manual, but manual 2.5 vs manual 4.0, I’d expect the 4.0 to do better. It has the same torque as the 2.5, but can sustain the torque to a higher engine speed. I’m awfully tempted.

Doesn’t look that way, Porsche execs have said next refresh will be the EV

Do you have the HP/torque curves for the 4.0l?

All the cars you mentioned have the same tranny/gears unless you're talking pdk.

Does that look a shade darker than lizard green? It would be odd if it’s a new green.

Definitely recycling the 981 Spyder wheels.

Please, please, please have some new color options for the GTS 4.0, or offer PTS out of the gate. Porsche's current stock color options are putrid 👎
