I think the GT4 is the obtainable sports car that Porsche once was famous for. If you do everything right and save all your pennies, you too can have one. So lots of people are very passionate about it, including yours truly.

widowmaker = turbo
maybe referring to the footage we saw of that camoed racecar with the turbo engines, rumored to have 700 bhp or more ...

I think by now we know that there's a GT4 and RS in the pipeline.

 

The question is how will they roll this out?

 

I was thinking that they may rollout the GT4RS first?

 

Is this not how they did the GT3 for 1st year and then the RS was next car?

 

This would allow the current GT4 owners to sell their cars to others and get the RS.

 

After all most of us are tracking our GT4's which Porsche likes, and they will reward us with the RS next.

 

At least this is what my hopeful thinking is.

 

Although my dealer says the GT4 will be first, and then six months later..... They may rollout the GT4RS.

GT4 and Spyder will be 1st. GT4RS is still 50/50 from what Whoopsy said. My guess is it would be extremely limited if it’s as good if not better than a GT3. IMO owning a GT4 will not get you an allocation, will need to be higher up the totem pole.

When will the PTS window open?
What seats should I get?
Can I get one with back seats?
How about one with no wing?
What color deviated thread won't make my butt look fat?
How much leather is too much?
Does the carbon fiber on the dash match the weave on the seats?
How high will the ADM's go?
Why can't I get one?

Did I forget any important issues to consider?

I know - there are no stupid questions. But there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots!

Very entertaining indeed. But on a serious note, your insights although somewhat cyptic makes rennlist an interesting forum to come back to. Even if my interpretations are completely out of line, really appreciated that you took the time to bestow some inspirations in all of us...it is definitely more fun than getting the answers straight up...

Alright alright. I guess I was being too greedy.

Just pay over. It's gotta be cheaper than buying a Macan and eating the depreciation. And lets face it, the dealer will want you to buy 4 of them.

Why didn't he just say, "the engine in the car is going to be a evolution...."? Why did he differentiate "the race car version"? Could the street version be turbo, but the "race car version" not have the snails (turbo's)?
Homologation.

100% agree, Whoopsy. But I have to say that, apart from the NDA issue (or more probably due to it), the way you’ve chosen to entertain us is making this whole thread almost as fun as driving my 981 Spyder…

Almost…
