Wait , they say 2 new cars. What you guys are saying would be 4 new cars. Boxster Spyder, gt4, Cayman gts 4l and boxter 4l. It would be weird for them to come out with another gts with same displacement as they get car no ? Just my 2c

It's already up on the Porsche website

https://newstv.porsche.com/en/

4.0L naturally aspirated making 420PS with 6MT, this is NOT the same 4.0L from the GT3, it is a 4.0L built using the architecture of the 3.0L turbo engine, redline is 8000RPM.

Adjustable adaptive suspension. PASM, giant muffler, ugly diffuser, 20" wheels.

The rear looks way better in yellow then black... but still pretty ugly. The front looks very mean and agreessive with the GT2RS style embossed plastic splitter. Looks to be an awesome evolution all the way around and will make some new owners very happy!

718 Boxster Spyder sounds very flat indeed in comparison, with little change in pitch through the revs.


Not only is it normally aspirated, it is 4.0L.

Could it be like the current GT4 where the red line shows 7600 but is actually 7800? So 8k/8200?

Good on you Porsche for making what should be another stunningly fun to drive automobile.

Well 2 things

1) I want one
2) I wonder how much 981s are going to tank?

It's probably going to be pricier and with 981 value taking a dump the buy in may be a hard pill to swallow.

Interesting that the new exhaust has the vacuum valves, rather than the electric internal flaps of the Speedster.
