IIRC on German forums, right after the GT4 came out, there was a discussion with a reference that some new noise regulation will come into effect in the near future regarding the sport exhaust. Also there was a discussion that the sport exhaust may have different control software depending on country of certification; when it opens, when not, etc.

All indications are that in order to meet Euro6 emissions a particulate filter will have to be used which could effect sound and performance as well.

Doesn't sound similar at all.

It doesn't have to be an a turbo future for everything. GT3/4 could go another generation of pure NA and then switch to a hybrid NA instead of going turbo....

Yes, 918 is just that. Problem is that Porsche has all the technologies, no one know which one will get into the next one.

A timeline for the rollout of the new GT3 and GT4-spec models is still being determined,
although both are expected to debut next January at Daytona, following end-of-year test races in Europe.

“Right now, it isn’t published yet when we will launch the car, but we are still planning for it to be this year,” Armbruster said. “If you want to run in Daytona, you have to [be ready].

“We are still in planning but starting to discuss with teams about the concept.

“My intention is to use this year to define more precisely our ecosystem so it’s more visible and understandable for our customers.”
