To me it looks like these were air freighted to the US and someone in that terminal or in a plane snapped the photos. No way you could’ve avoided it imo. They are covered enough to not see any details at least.

Driving from Jacksonville, Florida to Charlotte today. Passed through South Carolina but will keep my eyes open if I see anything.

I do not believe I will though since all those cars seem to be clubsports without wheels.

that's new! never seen that video. Exhaust note is the same as the previous 718 GT4CS in earlier vids. Sounds like lower redline? Just a much deeper / muffled tone imo. Hard to tell without being there.

The competition package and SRO model cars will have a different exhaust notes and some of the sound characteristics you mentioned are an indicator of what I referenced above .The SRO model being the quieter of the two ( essentially the muffler is used more in this version) unlike the bypass that is opened on the competition muffler .

I think this is my first comment in this thread (can't remember, this thing has been going on for so long). Hearing the engine and exhaust in that latest CS video makes me believe it's going to be a 4.0 but with a normal-ish 7.5-8k redline. My GT4 has headers probably similar to the CS cars and mine definitely has a higher pitch exhaust note. Slightly larger capacity is going to have a slightly lower pitch (like these cars), IMHO.

That is the most logical deduction from the sound of all the test miules (Road car and CS) Only thing left to ponder is the gearbox offering in the road car variation.

Happy Porsche New Year. 💥😊👍🎉

Thanks. Once we are allowed to share info we will. Justin prob has more first hand knowledge of the cars bits than anyone but he's been under lock on the info since July. Less than 5 days and counting til the photos start flooding this thread.

Since you can’t tell us how it’s equipped, in your opinion how much quicker will it be when compared to a 981 GT4 with X51?
