I believe 718 GT4 will end up being FI and will be a test to see the market's reaction
Being 718, it should also stay true to its heritage...being 4 pots....

I believe the opposite. With the already successful GT2 RS I see them trickling down not up. Just think how many want the GT2 RS and can not get. I see the RS going Turbo and if they make it good enough like the GT2 they will sell 6000 of them world-wide, before production. It will be a "GT2 RS-light" but for $80,000 less if they build it- they will sell it- Field of Dreams Buddy

I see the GT4 staying NA for a long time with plenty of room to mature with more HP and other Bells and Whistles. Plus, the Engine is in the right place. They can offer in both transmissions ect and they can put the car on a diet with CF/magnesium and get that weight under 3000 while equipping with a heavier engine.

It will either be a GTS or a GT3R.

Will be interesting.

Will be called the GT Speedster based on GT3 with 4.0l motor. It is the 70th anniversary car.

Test complete. The 718 sales are a disaster. Fewer people are interested in a 4 cyl turbo at those prices.

A 718 GT4 Turbo? If F4, it will flop. F6 Turbo wont fit in the mid-engine according to Porsche. My money is on NA. Detuned GT3 motor.

But to stay on topic.....a 4.0L in the speedster makes perfect sense.

Yup, if the 718 GT4 is Turbo that's an auto pass for me. If it's an NA then there is BIG WANT!

If, *if*, the 718 GT4 is a 4 banger - I bet it will still sell

Look at the Carrera T and the enthusiasm for it (or at least that is what I am observing), admittedly I've even had a slight interest in it for some inexplicable reason. Anything "limited" or hard to get from Porsche, along with the "GT" badge + wing and motor sport looks, will sell. I also think/would hope that if AP releases a product from the GT department, 4 cyl or 6 cyl, they will still make a stand up car. The reality is that most cars are FI as we all know and emissions/consumption/etc are under scrutiny so AP/Porsche will do their best to make a product that lives up to Porsche's core values in the face of that. I think Rennlist comprises a small enthusiast group where there are people who are not on here and will line up out the door for for a 718 GT4 or 718 Spyder...

By all accounts the 718s are a hell of a car, just a bit lacking on sound and ability to wind out the engine...

Now watch as we see 718 GT4/Spyder sitting on the showroom lot lol

Sweet mother of God...assuming that's true, I can't wait to see the ADMs and demand on that puppy

Chris3963

They are pretty much all sold already. Only 1 per dealer globally, at most.

usctrojanGT3

Another 991R circle jerk, huh? haha

sampelligrino

Well at least that will spare us the value threads on if the ADM is fair and what resale will be like

Planners listen to management and try to make the surveys fit.

Of course it will. There will always be those that missed out at first, listen to planners and pay ADM.

Great info as usual Chris.

Should be interesting to see the 918 guys fight over it.
