Not sure I'm following your math - what do you mean? Start with GT3RS 520 hp and add 10 hp?

Rather they had to increase an additional 10 hp above and beyond the net gain in hp from the 991.2 version to account for the GPF filter.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Indeed I hope this means it has at least 520 hp- maybe 530 hp. In that case, I'd pull the trigger on one.

Why the split steel/pccb combo? Cost containment?

It's the new large 408mm steel rotor. They just use the yellow calipers on the test mule.
Looks like the steel rotor hat is polished now. Nice touch.

I like this car...I like it already. I think the 992 rear hips are quite appropriate for this car's design. They may have to take my money.

Interesting thing about this article are the interior pictures. I know others posted already pics as well.

Go and find the video that was just released on YouTube and you’ll learn more from the man himself 😀👍

Carbon hood, engine deck lid and wing. Light weight glass, exhaust including OPF 6kg, 408mm steel brakes, 410mm carbon. Double wishbone and interior pretty much as always, but in 992 version. Talks about having 10 more hp even with OPF, but don’t know if that was a statement of the total power or just referring to the OPF. However, AP says that when you don’t have more power then you have to work on aero...

Oh, and for those who wonder, yes, the rear bumper is still with camouflage in this picture and yes there still is some on the swan neck as well. The rest is pretty much how it will look.

That article was pretty spot on in hindsight. My guess is they jumped the gun on the press ban, which is why it was taken down so quickly.

Except this time apparently...

It has all the bones I wished for, the wing I dreamt about ever since I saw the first 718 GT4 Clubsport, the “manual” is a “sequential” and look at that shifter light - a Swede’s wet dream. Can’t wait till I can go and pick mine up! 😀👍 Some people want to meet Presidents... others Rock Stars - if I could dream - it would be A.P for a chat.

To be clear, there will be a three pedal, traditional manual. There is no sequential manual. Just that or the 7 speed PDK.

Yes, “sequential” is written in hyphens as is the “manual” and it refers, with a bit of humor..., to what is being said in the video... and it hints back to the previous interior pictures and speculations around the missing clutch, the manual looking stick and boot and the DSG stick that looks like a manual and can be operated like a sequential... back and forth...
