It would seem that people are confusing GT4 vs. GT4 CS. Every single person that I have spoken with that are ring regulars have commented on both the Spyder and GT4 mules as sounding nearly identical to the 991.2 S motor. Fake gurgle and all. The videos seem to back that up.

But the 99.2 is turbo, how can it sound the same if they're NA ? 🙃

No Idea? ..Maybe this filter everyone is talking about? As far as I can tell, the only "see it, touch it" has been for the CS.

Sorry...i was at the track with the GT4 Clubsports that are about to replaced by another generation of GT4 Clubsport with a much better exhaust note! I didn't mean to be ambiguous with what i wrote...I think that the stock GT4, even with essentially the same style exhaust manifold with cats and PSE as a 981 GTS for example, sounds better than a 981 GTS at idle and i think that the Clubsports with their 100 cell cats sound even better, mostly because they're louder. This is all taken from the perspective of my office which is about 30 feet from the shop where these cars get started up and moved around every morning. I think that the 981s sounds better than the 987.2s even when comparing the 3.4L to each other. There really aren't major differences among those two models inherently BUT the note is louder at idle. Even the 4.0L X51 981 GTS with the RS style fenders sounds very similar to a 981 3.4L GTS at idle and startup.

You guys will like the new car's exhaust note but we don't have any information as to what exactly is on the street car. The big problem is that the 718 GT4 is not yet released and the fact that there is a race car out there testing BEFORE the production car has been unveiled makes it all very hush hush. I have been told nothing about the 718 GT4 street car...i know only what i know from stalking the test mule around Florida that i finally saw. I got to see the 992 months ago as well. It's so crazy when you get up close to these cars...they're very concealed with the weirdest stuff on the interior and exterior.

I know I am getting too far ahead of myself, and we know their will be more power, aero etc in the 718 gt4 compared to it's predecessor, but I can't wait to see you guys (and others) improve it even more .

You mean like shoving our 4.0L crank, rods and pistons in and mapping it with the Cobb tune so you can have the 490hp 4.0L GT4 you all secretly want?

The good thing is that when I took delivery of our 981 GT4 in 2016 I converted the motor into what I think is coming in the 718 spec car.

In the meantime I'll keep sharpening the tools in the shed!

BGB,

Do you think both PDK and manual will be offered or just the latter?

thanks

+27% power gains with a +5% displacement increase? Even with new heads, that sounds exaggerated...

Crazy but true! It's more than just displacement and heads though. I don't know what BGB's latest 490hp build looks like but my 4l X51 with race headers, factory PSE, and old BGB tune dynos in the 460-470hp range. I've seen similar builds with an aftermarket exhaust pick up another 10hp or so on the same dyno and BGB said they picked up another 15hp porting the X51 heads so 490hp seems within reach. Another way to look at it is if you took a 991.1 GTS (430hp), added displacement and compression (~25hp), race headers (~15hp), exhaust (~10hp), and porting (~10hp) 490hp might seem pretty reasonable.

The HP number is a headliner for sure and seems unlikely but the dyno chart adds some perspective. Peak torque is not that much higher from stock (~20 ft/lbs) but that big HP jump comes from maintaining that modest increase in torque much deeper into the top end of the rev range. There are a lots of vendors with suspect claims for HP but these builds have been proven on the dyno fairly extensively. I dynoed my car stock, with headers, with headers & tune(s), and with headers & 4L X51 all on the same dyno and seen the gains with each step. If we do one more dyno with the latest BGB X51 tune, mods, and GT3 exhaust I'll try to get a printout with the that against the original stock dyno.

there came an explination.

Please try to translate with google for the ones who don´t speak German.
For me it is quite clear - and underlines my guess from the beginning: 4cyl Turbo.
What a maybe GT4RS could get - no idea. But maybe when 992 GT3 goes Turbo; P could use the 4.0 N/A in the GT4RS (if they manage WLTP) - and to stay slower than 992 GT3...
GT4 Clubsport/Racecar i can imagine with a 6cyl NA engine. maybe a somehow new 4.0l engine - but why? as long the best 4.0 engine (991.2GT3) would be ready to fit...


Here the detailed explinations and opinion of orfeo who analyzed many Erlkönig GT4 vids:



Also auf mehrfachen Wunsch hier nun ein kleiner Exkurs zu DIY Audioanalyse:

Die Audiotracks (oder Videos mit Tonspur) müssen lokal vorliegen. Diverse Websites ermöglichen einen Download von Youtube-Inhalten als MP4-Datei. Audacity kann MP4 einlesen, wenn die FFMPEG-Bibliothek installiert ist.

Die Standarddarstellung von Audacity als Wellenform ist nicht geeignet, wir schalten um in die Spektrogramm-Ansicht. Es wird dann ein Wasserfall-Diagramm angezeigt, in dem der zeitliche Verlauf wird von links nach rechts, die niedrigen Frequenzen unten, die hohen oben dargestellt werden. Die Farbe drückt die Energie aus, die diese Frequenz im Spektrum hat, das Farbschema kann man einstellen.

Die Auflösung der Diagramms kann man verändern, aber eine höhere Auflösung auf der Frequenz-Achse verschlechtert die Auflösung auf der Zeitachse und umgekehrt. Eine "Fenstergröße" von 8192 "Rechteck" ist ein guter Kompromiss für unsere Zwecke. Wenn man sich auf die Motorgeräusche konzentrieren will und Reifenquietschen usw. nicht sehen will, dann sollte man den Ausschnitt von 100Hz bis 600Hz darstellen.

Nun sieht man zu jedem Fahrzeug Linien. Es sind immer gleich mehrere, weil kein "Ton" nur aus einer Frequenz besteht. Vielmehr ist auch das zwei-, drei-, vierfache usw. der Frequenz zu sehen. Es sind nur *ganzzahlige* Vielfache. Woher weiß man nun, welche Linie die Grundfrequenz ist? Nun ja, wenn man Linien bei 200Hz, 300Hz und 400Hz sieht, dann kann 200Hz nicht die Fundamentalfrequenz sein, weil 300Hz ja kein ganzzahliges Vielfaches ist. Die Fundamentalfrequenz ist oft auch die niedrigste starke Frequenz (Achtung: Neben der Frequenz der Auslassventile erzeugt ein Motor auch etwas schwächere Geräusche durch die Umdrehungen der Kurbelwelle und noch schwächere durch die Nockenwelle). Ausserdem kann man unsinnige Varianten ausschliessen, wenn sich z.B. mehr als 9000/min ergeben oder bei sichtbar forcierter Fahrweise <4000/min.

Hier nun eine kleine Galerie, was man da so sehen kann:


Ein 911 RSR beschleunigt und schaltet nach der Rettifilo-Schikane. https://youtu.be/-I5lwezLlls#t=2m07s



Ein "GT4" lupft wegen Power-Oversteer im Adenauer-Forst. Auch das Reifenquietschen ist als Fläche oberhalb von 800Hz zu sehen. https://youtu.be/uoIrIyIDOGU#t=36s





Doppler-Effekt (der sanfte Abwärtsschwung bei 1:16) ausgangs Parabolica bei schneller Vorbeifahrt eines GT2. https://youtu.be/hbqkZ7IDSqo#t=1m13s






Grundsätzlich muß man den Dopplereffekt berücksichtigen, wenn sich der Wagen sehr schnell annähert oder wegbewegt. Man sieht den Effekt auch bei der 911RSR-Bild, es sieht ja so aus, als ob die späteren Schaltvorgänge bei niedrigerer Drehzahl erfolgen --- der Effekt kommt aber durch die zunehmende Entfernungs-Geschwindigkeit zustande. Bei eine Vorbeifahrt ohne Lupfen/Bremsen/Schalten kann man in etwa den Mittelwert nehmen, hier ca. 330Hz. Bei langsameren Vorbeifahrten ist der Fehler durch die unbekannte Geschwindigkeit nicht so groß, jedenfalls macht dieser Fehler keinen 6-Zylinder zu einem 4-Zylinder.

Ich konnte bisher in keinem Video einen GT4 oder Spyder mit mehr als 200Hz hören. Entspricht bei 4 Zylindern 6000/min. Bei einem 6-Ender wären das nur 4000/min, da wären die schon ganz schön untertourig unterwegs.






another posts:

1)
Absolut korrekt! Einen untertourigen 6-Ender kann ich nicht von einem 4-Ender unterscheiden. Aber irgendwie kann ich nicht glauben, daß die wirklich an keiner einzigen Stelle mehr als 4000/min drehen.

2)
Das ist der erste Oberton, die Fundementalfrequenz liegt bei der Hälfte. Aber Du hast Recht, das ist eine Stelle, wo es nicht so eindeutig ist, weil der erste Oberton stärker ist. Generell habe ich bei allen Aufnahmen vom 718 GT4 beobachtet, daß die Fundamentalfrequenz irgendwie gedämpft ist. Gut möglich, daß das Teil des Sound Engineering ist, deshalb erkennt man ihn nicht direkt als 4-Ender.
Es ist keine exakte Wissenschaft, was ich da mache. Aber ich hab' mir echt viele Stellen lange angeschaut und es gibt keine, die nicht zu einem 4-Ender passen würde. Umgekehrt gibt es viele, die nicht so recht zu einem 6-Ender passen. Mich irritiert etwas, daß "gut unterrichtete Kreise" und quasi die komplette Fachpresse auf einem 6-Ender Sauger beharren, aber in den Videos höre ich den nicht. Never ever!







some conclusions translated:

Orfeo is fully aware of many facts around:
- All the press worldwide speaks about 6cyl.
- Guys who see and touched it - say 6cyl NA - but that was all also clearly said from all those guys: the GT4 Clubsport / Racecar.
- He said: Of course you cannot tell the differents between a 6cyl low rpm from a 4cyl higher rpm. But in all the vids he didn´t found one single spot where the GT4 mule would be above 4.000rpm (if you do the 6cyl calculation).
- Further: There are many sections which are not suiting for a 6cyl. But there is not one section which would not suit a 4cyl.










here is a new vid: (9:15min)




sounds again for me like a 4cyl with around 6.000 rpm





woopsy - you do know more i guess - do we have the chance for another riddle?

Doesn't sound 4-cyl at all, really. Like completely different from the existing 718. It sounds like a typical flat 6 albeit quite a bit worse sounding than the older engines. How that can be squared with the "new cup car sounds better than ever" I am not certain, but the particulate filters and possibly a non-production exhaust system (unlikely at this point) are a reasonable explanation.

It sounds kind of turbocharged but not quite. Again the particulate filters are the most likely culprits.

I was on the "could be a 4-banger" train last year when the first car was spotted but at this point there is just no doubt those cars have a 6-cylinder. No 4-cylinder has ever sounded remotely like that, but plenty of H6 have.

hard to describe sounds and feelings - thats also why we have so many different meanings.

i try it once again:
i miss the smoothness / multifaceted / hissing sound of a 6cyl
and hear the clarity / clipped / choppily sound of a 4cyl

in combination with the spectrogram analyzes above.
and the existing 718 range.
i could imagine they think that it´s better for the sales of regular 718 cars - if the GT car has the same engine setup. as long they struggle so or so. and whats better for adjusting the mindset if a good 4pot GT car comes out.

Sounded like a 991.2 carrera but my wife tells me I’m deaf every day so what would I know
