What does you mean by this whoopsy ??. Are you referring to the GT4 or the race going version of the GT4 or something else ??



Can you please tell us if you're referring to the Boxster Spyder over here or the GT4 or the 911 speedster ??

I am not sure if you're allowed to reveal this information or not. Also, I'm sure it's probably super late where you are but would really appreciate your input.
if I read between the lines, what he means by evolution is that it’s a progression from the 3.8 that was already in the GT4. My interpretation of his words that is. I’m also convinced he is talking about the GT4RS. Again, my perspective of his words.

GT4RS???

So cryptic, I have even more questions now. All I could figure out was no center locks!

My perspective: 4.0 with changed internals so that it cannot rev to 9k even with tunes and the like without a full rebuild. Alternately the 3.8 stroked to 4.0 but without other stuff in the X51, that's not going to make 420ish. My bet is the 4.0 with slightly less exotic internals (remember, they can do this because all variants will be out of production except maybe the speedster. Meaning they won't be building two of the same engine with different internals). Slightly higher red line than the 981. 8k-8200 max.

The YouTube car is most likely that camo car in the Monza vids that sounded weird and had the heavy aero and hood cut outs. GT2RS?? 750?? 800?

The car that is on top is the RS. It doesn't exist. Just a scale model.

Here is what I get from his post

1) N/A engine
2) GT4RS
3) MT & PDK option
4) No CLs

I was also thinking 4.0 with changed internals/de-tune for the same reason you mention. However, it could be something else as well because I thought he would've stated it differently it was a 4.0L. Let's hope our initial hunch was right.

I am not on any list for the RS. I would also like to know if the RS would come with a manual. I hate that this is leading to more questions than I had to begin with.

THIS IS MY INTERPRETATION:

My phone was away from me for like 6 hours, but that's pretty much the rumoured car.

It is after all without camo and I didn't posted it, even if I want to.

The other half of the twin will the same but the the cloth top like old ones. SPYDER WITH THE SAME 981 ROOF

Engine will be bespoke to the car(s) for a while. The race car version which I am most interested is going to be a evolution but will be competitive with competition from the cheater cars from McLaren and AMG. Without the extra weight of useless stuff for the class like snails. WILL BE A NEW OR VERSION OF SPECIFIC TO THE GT4 AND SPYDER THEN THERE WILL BE A VERSION FOR COMPETITION

The thing that was suppose to be on top of them is bonkers. GT4 RS I will totally take it over a GT3 without even thinking. But it is neither confirmed nor denied. The car I saw was just a figment of my imagination apparently. SUPER CONFIDENTIAL

Cars will also follow the current transmission rules. SAME AS 981: MANUAL ONLY FOR STREET AND PDK FOR CLUBSPORT Cars also don't need someone to press the brakes for torquing. NO CENTERLOCKS

There was something sitting there without a hard top 991.2 SPEEDSTER, but it was completely ignored as the car next to it is the Youtube car GT4 CLUBSPORT, I already placed an order directly with Weissach, it is the ultimate widow maker, good luck to my wife. I suggested a mandatory training session with purchase. They also think its' a good idea just so their customers won't be dying left and right.


It was really something to see a RSR opened up next to a GT3R. Still can't believe they got away with the mid engine RSR. But then again one could argue the 911 and the Cayman is really the same platform hence interchangeable.

The current transmission rules are streetcar=manual and racecar=pdk.... Right? Does this mean no pdk for the street?

He said his phone was away from him for "6" hours. Is that a clue for flat six?

Also interesting: engine will be bespoke to the cars for a while. Does that mean flat 6 NA cayman / boxster in the future? 911? Hmmm

The 981 GT4 and Spyder engines were also bespoke ....and that wasn't a good thing. But this time there's no NA6 to numb down.
