Default 718 GT4 BASE PRICE - YOUR GUESS

Let's have some fun, the new 718 GT4 announcement is due out within about a month.
Where do you think the base price will be?

I’d wager pricing structure is similar to 991 vs 981...priced just at/ or just below 992 base.

Problem is we don’t have the price yet for the 992 base yet... just the S and 4S

Base price for 981 GT4 was $84,600 plus $ 995 (freight), my guess is $ 0.00 with a ADM of $ 90,600

I'll agree with the 10 percent. Under 95k then destination and possibly a gas guzzler

None of the other 718 trims increased all that significantly. Same thing with the 991.2 GT3, no crazy price increase over the 991.1, IIRC... So I see no reason to believe the 718 GT4 will be the exception. I think Porsche knows that the appeal of the car takes a hit if they get deep into 911 territory.

Porsche will still sell everyone of them they can make if they increase 20%.

ADMs were wildly rampant for an extended period. Porsche may want to underprice the car again - who knows - but they CAN jack the price a lot and still sell them all.

Unless it's a high reving gt3 motor I don't even see 10k increase in MSRP because I'm guessing it's not much different than the 981 not to mention the used GT4 prices. Beforeheir is hype and being an inexpensive mid engine GT car with uncertainty on production number.

With a RS version i can justify gt3 money if it has proper rear suspension and marketed as mid engine gt3.

We wont get the exact GT3 engine for sure...but following history of Porsche price increases you can bet a 8% to 10%
From 385 hp to 425-430 hp (rumored HP) is a nice bump in real power compared to what Porsche has done in the past for other models going from .1 to .2
This is peak...we still don't know how the power/torque curves will look like.
For some, the aero updates will be a nice addition if they run on fast tracks with big/fast corners. We still don't know of any other improvements...we will see soon enough.

As for your wish of items on an GT4 RS....you might as well go out now buy a GT3 and get also the RWS. Multilink rear suspension wont happen on the 981/718 platform.
If you split the GT3 market with a GT4RS then Porsche ended up with a slight increase of new customer while having to develop various versions of GT4 , GT4RS, GT3 and GT3RS.
When you look at it from a price/market position point of view the speculated RS version wont have all the goodies one would expect from an RS.

Yes, I own a gt3 touring now but if this car was mid engine it’ll be my favorite.

I think under 95k is a good number for the gt4.
