Independent of HP, if it's in fact 4.0L and with the X51 kit the performance should be pretty good......specially when we get to mod the car with a few aftermarket parts
I wish they keep the center exhaust but guess the new arrangement is better for airflow management under the car or at least leave that option for the race cars.
We are getting closer to know the facts from PAG......

Not sure how so many think that the 4.0 motor will be equipped with the previous gen X51 kit. Just because 1 started it and got it repeated by others doesn't make it a fact.
Apparently at the last VLN weekend Manthey had somewhat of a tech talk discussing the new upcoming GT4CS: 420 hp & PDK. No mention if this hp upgrade was achieved on pure motor alone or with partial/full X51 kit.

Hey Whoopsy, I know this is the GT4 thread, but, did you happen to get any info on the forthcoming related Spyder?
Feel free to respond in the 987 - 981 Forum / 982 GT4 Spyder? thread.
Thanks in advance.

These are all rumors and speculation, no hard facts, which is why someone will get a great deal on my track-ready GT4 up for sale!

Good idea! Wait pricing out until the fall when it could soften a bit. I would then recommend that you wait until fall 2019 to see if it softens more/or by then.
But watch out for tarrifs! If those get applied to the new GT4 and its price goes up 20%....well the current owners of your future car are getting paid to enjoy it for you in the meantime.
I say all of that in jest, but honestly, the sun is shining, GT4s are awesome and you're missing out. I look at the US market where cars are trading at or below msrp as a bargain. I had to pay 20%+ list for mine up here in Canada, and I got a great deal relative to the rest!
Whatever car you choose, enjoy it!

if you read carefully my post I don't think or assume...at this stage I just hope!
And since a few people are fond of calling the GT4 a "parts-bin special" what better way to continue the tradition than bolting on those extra X51 kits that "MAY" be around PAG.
We are all just guessing here and trying to build the full picture from all the little pieces around.....unfortunately I think we will need to wait till the actual launch to really know the final configuration.

We talk about a power bump from 385 to 420hp. My 981 gts puts down 340 hp with no problem, the one gt4 i drove struggled to put down the increased tq and hp. Was I driving a bad example. If not, how well is the 420hp+ going to be put down, or maybe whoopsy can comment?
Thanks

I live very close to you but my definition of a good deal and your might be too far apart at the moment. I'm looking for one in that color but you are north of where I want to get in to one at currently. I'm not in a hurry so I am just watching the market right now. There are 140 of them that I am tracking to get a better understanding of where the market is headed. Currently it is still a little too optimistic for me to plop down money.
Make me an offer and let's get you behind the wheel. You're missing out on miles of fun!

I consider a good deal for both parties is a number that neither one is happy with. If tariffs on German cars is enacted, my price just goes up. For now it's negotiable. I'd love to make a nice, easy local deal with someone who will care for this special ride as much as I have.

GT4, Spyder and the ClubSport all runs the same engine anyways.
