They are probably confusing it with the rumored cayman T

the reasoning I was given was that the new GT4 wouldn't over shadow the 992 launch ... yes PDK after 6 mos

various factory teams here recently eg .... https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/p...hybrid-teaser/

My ultimate GT4 would be - wingless, manual, PTS, silver wheels, Carbon Buckets, contrast stitching - 430HP with shorter gearing. Don't care what size engine as long as its a flat six!

Could be shown along with the 992 considering they did the same thing with the last gen gt3rs and gt4. Perhaps wishful thinking.

Are you fairly sure about the PDK after 6 months? I have seen this posted from multiple sources on this forum, so I am trying to figure out how likely it is.
Also another poster I believe stated, Porsche would most likely announce PDK availability at car introduction time if it is going to happen and even if there was a 6 month delay on it.

So the 992 GT3 has been spotted testing and it appears as though it has and will be getting a NA six engine.
Question for members in the educated know, what is your best guess or thought on whether the next GT4 after the 718 will have a NA engine, or how likely it is?
A number of people certainly thought the 981 GT4 would be the last, but it wasn't. I am uncertain what will happen here.
Also, the next gen GT4 after the 718 I have to assume wouldn't come out for a couple or few years after the 992 GT3.
Also, does anyone even know the model number for the next platform after the 718? lol

But, I can’t verify.

I'd offer odds I'm that sure - my cleaning lady been cleaning long long time .. but hey, this is the interweb

Not sure why they would delay in the first place (the availability not the announcement) but maybe it's a way of getting rid of some extra manual boxes in stock?
Or something akin to a higher margin kicker/launch premium e.g. the first 20 GT4s released here had shorter service plans and a couple fewer free options etc..

Hiwind, is your cleaning lady saying 3.8 or 4.0? It really doesn't matter just curious. Any other changes other than tweaks all around?

Weren't we told that the new GT4 would be ready for ROAR. If that is the case the clubsport should be revealed before January. I do not see how porsche would just reveal the clubsport with the specifications and not expect the general public to know what the streetable version would be.

Also, isn't it a requirement to sell 500 or whatever street going versions of the car before the clubsport can be used to compete in GT4 races. Can someone with more knowledge about this, chime in.

She wouldn't say but did hint say 420ish hp .. and I also got 4 wheel steering mini-vibes (which I really want)

WindBanker to BioBanker: continental odds of 3/2 or what you guys write as -200 I think

I’m going to believe the guys on here(VIP and race team members) that have seen the car over cleaning ladies.
