For this I'd give up my 981 GT4. The others, not so much.

Its a 4L in four HP configurations.

370-380hp Boxster/Cayman 6...yes, that is what its called, 718 Cayman 6.
425hp GT4 manual only
485hp GT4 RS late 2020 or early 2021. PDK only. Very limited car
And somewhere in between they will squeeze a special Boxster Anniversary with possibly 450hp.

Excuse my ignorance but what is RT??

Anyway, AFAIK, they are very, very close.

Wow, talk about slicing the onion thin. If true, I bet this means the GT4 is going to get expensive. The Cayman 6 will slot above the GTS and the GT4 above that so bring your wallets folks.

A UK magazine is promoting the GT4 being released in the UK? No way!

I hope so. The conjecture in this thread is legendary.

Yes it would be (or better?), but I bet that it ends up being more expensive than a GT3 too - that's how they'll get around the whole hierarchy thing. They'll throw carbon fiber at it until your eyes bleed at the price...and they'll sell all of them!
