That sounds right. Anything you can post?

Usually, Porsche posts the video...

 

Yep, though 981 GTS had X73 as a free option instead of the standard PASM, I think.

Thx

 

I’m still wondering where LordLucan is???

 

I wonder if he lost any wagers

 

Apologies my typo 7.28.

 

When Chris Gebhardt drove the 991.1 GT3 round the ring he clocked 7.32. When he drove the 981 GT4 he clocked 7:42 (10s difference). So a 12 second improvement would put him ~ 2 seconds ahead of the time he clocked for the 991.1 GT3 (475HP).

I think that is a good way of casting the new GT4. 12 seconds at these speeds and levels of performance is a lot. .

For reference he ran 7:18 in the 991.2 GT3. A 7:30 time as inferred above, would keep the pecking order nicely in line with a 12s difference (close to the 10s between the .1 GT3 and 981 GT4).

Proper Planning (keeps) Porsche Primacy (in) Place similar to the military dictum

 

My typo. Its 7.28. 12 seconds faster.

 

Wow - 11 grams of CO2 out of 249. We’re on a breakthrough here, real planet-saving stuff

 

Did you account for inflation (just curious). Thanks.

 

Dealer confirms no Particulate filter for Australia. So this should result in a more aggressive sound. yay.

 

What are the dealers saying in terms of allocations and deliveries in your part of OZ?

 

The 718 Cayman GT4 has set a new fastest lap on the

Nordschleife at the Nürburgring. Its lap time of 7:28 minutes

on the legendary 20.6 km racetrack was 12 seconds quicker

than the time set by its predecessor, quicker even than the time

achieved by the Carrera GT supercar when it was launched.

Whereas the pure increase in power of the GT4 would have

resulted in an improvement of only around three seconds, the

overall package of aerodynamics, tyres and chassis-tuning made

it possible to better the previous time by 12 seconds.

Wow! There a big part of me that really wants to believe this slightly unfair comparison...

A lightweight spring-strut suspension, designed for extreme

loads, guides the front wheels with particularly fine precision

and provides the basis for highly agile steering response.

Spring struts are also used on the reinforced lightweight rear

axle. Here too, both the upside-down shock absorbers and the

longitudinal and transverse control arms are taken from the

GT3, as are the subframes. The same applies to the special ball

joints, which allow mounting of the chassis without play. The

rear axle’s wheel knuckles have a unique design and provide

additional stability.

Does anyone know if the 991.2 GT3 front axle was much different than the 991.1 GT3's? Just curious.

 

Is the press launch currently going on? When can we expect first thoughts/impressions?
