I just downloaded the latest issue. The GT4 is included in the 19 car shootout and impresses! Below are some snips with GT4 content. It is a big issue and I recommend to buy the whole thing.



The cars were broken into sub-groups:












Of the original 19, the top 7 were selected for on road testing:

 

 

It's a shame they didn't like it.

 

Talking about it in the same review as 458 Speciale is high praise. All Porsche GT cars are a bargain!

 

Concluding headline:
Stood out over the Huracan, Z06, GT-R, AMG GT-S, Elise 220 Cup, Caterham 420R, etc...

Impressive. I'm looking forward to EVO's car of the year. Up against the GT3 RS, presumably.

 

The lap video is up here - http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/V...ack-2014-06-03

Some lap times -

GT4 - 1.50.9
ZO6 - 1.49.1
458S - 1.46
P1 GTR - 1.32.9

 

A bit surprised with their view of the Lotus, since mine is quite sharp, but they admitted something was awry compared to other Elises they've driven.

Very very impressive for the GT4, subjectively. Lap time wasn't too much faster than the C63 but sounds like it was a high speed track. Very excited For mine to arrive.

Ariel Nomad won the whole competition! Raw and light.

 

Which fast cars did the GT4 beat?

 

These are the track stats:

 

Thanks!

 

 

Thanks for posting. I am going to get this mag tomorrow!

 

4.5 sec 0-60? kinda strange. Not that I care too much about 0-60 times but I thought it was more like 4.2 with the potential for getting into the 3's

 

It is if it had pdk and launch mode. Manual with a clutch is hard to get stand still 0-60 starts. From a rolling start it should be pretty good and fast. It takes quit a few launches to gauge what rpms etc to drop the clutch for optimal takeoff.

 

The car can't possibly be as good as this article makes it out to be. But I guess we shall see!
