I dont think Porsche intends on 981 GT4 owners to upgrade their cars with X51 packages..... i think they intend to sell owners the new cars instead....

Hence, GT4 racing internationally is the new car as is PWC and IMSA. No "updated" cars.

 

More testing of CS car @ Monza

sooooo: if there was a camo'd 981CS (2:26), that means the 718 there was the 718RS? or 718 weissach? or 718 with pdk? mhhhh

 

718CS

 

whats the point of testing both 981CS and hipotetically 718CS?

 

they are probably getting a bench mark or data of the differences to see how much better the 718CS is over the outgoing 981CS.

They could also be testing the 718CS trophy package and the 718CS SRO package....

 

Any word on a pdk for the 718 gt4 street version?

 

So far, just a manual. "drivers" car.....

 

Damn, that's a shame. I've been anxiously awaiting this car for over a year now. Guess Porsche decided to save me some money.

 

Porsche will make it known during the official launch if they will make it available later on in prodiction..... so until then we can only guess.

 

 

Furthermore, a 718 gt4rs would be the dream, but one can only hope.

 

I think the street car will have to be announced before the race car.... that was the way it was for the 2016 GT4CS
So before December perhaps?
Anybody know what shows are coming up in October or November?

 

Porsche just built the Moby Dick 991.2.
So dream cars are not out of the question at this point IMO.

Porsche knows there is a lot of talk and interest on a GT4RS concept... So they could very well build a limited amount in the final year of 718GT4 Production. It would be PDK only with lightweight panels and more aero IMO.
