Doesn't really support your assertion at all, I'm afraid.

Too much speculation, conjecture and wishful thinking presented as facts.

if you take the ascari like that with a manual instead, the weight shift is going to make you kiss the walls

It almost has no sound. Maybe its coasting down the hill in 6th?

Totally agree, and I keep on coming back to it. I will just wait till it reveal. Is certain that it is either 3.8 x51 or 4.0 anyways, is not gonna be turbocharged and PDK might be an option. Seriously this is pretty much end of discussion.

Heard that one of the local race shops is perfecting their 4.25 liter kit for the 981 3.8 motor. Apparently making something nutty like 535hp. So, if 718 variety GT4 doesn't float your boat, that could certainly be an interesting alternative.

Not "certain" at all. Opinions, speculation, wishful thinking and comments by Porsche taken completely out of context and morphed into things they never even said, that are then used as evidence to substantiate "certainties" that are nothing more than what we would like the outcome to be. Fact is, nobody on here knows (or more accurately, if they do, they aren't willing or allowed to provide the evidence to demonstrate that they do know).

Someone must really hope it's a turbo 4.

I think a turbo 4 cylinder is unlikely. Can't be certain about that though.

Yeah, probably half of the 981 GT4/Spyder owners who would prefer their car to be the last of the NA.
Wishful thinking and some still clinging on to a thread of hope. lol
There are a number of people that want this car to be a fail. It is evident in their posts and comments.

I would suspect all of the spy videos are of EU spec models. So they will have the new gas particulate filters, which will reduce the volume of the exhaust note. US spec 718 GT4/Spyder will not have the filters.

Do you think it’s possible that the 4.0 is for a GT4 RS and the non-RS gets 3.8?
