I think a lot of people are expecting a lot from the next GT4....that's wishful thinking.....IMO they will give it more power and the 718 styling and call it a day...maybe, maybe....if we get lucky we will get the option of PDK, which is a lot cheaper for PAG than revising the gearbox, which has been in used for many years without change. Always remember...it may say 718 on the back but this is just a 981.2 so the unibody and all parts will be the same with minimal revisions.....the longer they can use parts without revisions or change, the more profit they make!

I Agree....I can imagine next interview with AP....he will say that now it's perfect with the additional torque and power.

Agree with Yargk - 2nd is fine on the track and frankly doesn't really bother me ever - I'm used to it.
Agree with snowmants - doesn't sound like PDK is likely in the next GT4 variant.
All the more reason to keep loving what is already in the garage

I mean, they have to do the GT style front. right? right?! That's the same mule as Nurburger saw per the license plate.

i wouldn’t stress... IIRC it is a certification or EPA test vehicle... they do real world testing now... vs. just lab testing. It’s wearing the GTS front bumper and missing the larger rear spoiler as well... cosmetically it is a earlier mule. Whoopsy already confirmed this.
