I think we will see the same result with the 718 GT4. GT3 engine with smaller throttle body and less redline. So less fast as result, but plenty fast for GT4 racing worldwide.

Pretty sure all GT cars are build on the same production line as regular 911's, Caymans and Boxsters. I visited the factory in '16 and I saw a bunch of 911R's and GT3RS's on the same line as base boxsters, caymans and 911's...

Spyder looks to have bigger brakes this time around.

I guess the the photographer who took the pics was once again deaf. Leads me to believe that Porsche is the one “leaking” these pics

I think this is a S-body mule with a GT4 wing (see lifted spoiler). Can also see the diffuser which might explain the spread exhaust.

Interesting combo of cars... GT4, 718 GT4, 718 Spyder, 992 and 992 cab, 991.2 Targa GTS, 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman S. The conspiracy theorist in me says you test turbo cars against turbo ones.

The Spyder sounded NA to me. And a mean motor.

Hard to tell. If anything, I hear 3.0L in that video.

Listen to how the sound changes dramatically when he clears the white car and is right behind the Spyder. Definitely a very different sound.

I think the sound when he walks by the spyder is very similar to the 992 cab in the video.

I’m going to have to so the same. Only my vote goes to 3.0L six, the porsche magicians found a way to make it fit.

I wasn’t sure about it but now I think the same here... I just drove my friends GT3.2, and it didn’t sound like that sitting there.
