tcsracing1, are you saying, or able to say in some form:
1, that there will be no 718 GT4 manual transmission cars? we thought the manuals would come first, followed by the PDKs.
And, 2. that the 718 GT4 street car engine is a 3.8 liter with the same construction, capacity, and general specifications?

Up in the air and particularly interesting to watch, will be what engine goes in an end of model run, limited edition, GT4RS?
That is where I could see a detuned 4.0L 991.2 GT3 engine. They aren't giving that engine up for mass 718 GT4/GT4CS production, but I could see that engine go in a special "end of the run" 718 GT4RS edition, like the 997 RS 4.0!

Interesting. Both Chris and CJ have posted other thoughts on this. Or are they talking about a possible RS without actually knowing it?

I assume it would still have to be an option for those sunday drivers who like to row gears after driving a pickup to work all week.
Porsche want the same engine in the street
car as the race car. Hence they call the street car a “GT4”. They want the success of the race car to market the street car.
If they were to give the street car a totally different engine, then they wouldnt bother calling it a “GT4”. Porsche also didnt sandbag the race car with a 3.8L only to give the street car a stroked 4.0L

All very interesting!
Curious on production numbers, will this also be a single MY production. Trying to figure odds of getting one.

People might be disappointed by the concept of the CS engine in the street car, but I think it’s a nice upgrade for those on the track, and couple it with the latest and greatest rubber and PDK and you have a car that will smoke the last one round the ‘Ring

Makes complete sense and add clubsport package with option for 1/2 and full cage. This will allow the large number of us that race in different classes and types of event where a key reg is the car must have been able to be road registered at the first purchase point.
I notice there is no information on the gearing as yet - super important. 😀
