The motor will also be a subtle difference IMO.
Expect to see the 3.8L bumped to 4.0L and most likely different heads, throttle body, cam profile and maybe intake.
Redline will be slightly higher.

Will it be enough to get 981.1 GT4 owners to trade up is the question.
Good question indeed. I feel like the Spyder will be a bigger update... getting the same specs as the GT4 with the same suspension/wheels/brakes. It will also have a price tag to match though.

This has been a fun riddle game! Thanks again Whoopsy!!! Super fun!
Seems plausible that IF (big IF I think) a GT4 RS materializes they would give it a proper motorsports engine and PDK-S. Otherwise what's the point.

The "regular" road cars get the regular parts and manual only like last time.

Cannabis eating horses can be quite fun to ride on.

You could just tell us the red line of the twins since you apparently can confirm the red line of the car that doesn't exist ;P

Any guess on what the price delta might be between the GT4 and the figment of your imagination car??

Porsche should be paying you for the buzz you've created.

I am starting to think that the GT4 / Spyder will have a 7k redline engine based on existing engine.

The real crazy / maybe upcoming player would be the GT4 RS. This one would have a GT3 engine with a 9k redline, PDK-S, big wing...

If it was 7700, it would be a step down from the current car. You did mention on the other forum that the RS will scream it's way to 9K. Surely, you can tell us what the reline on the GT4 is going to be.
