Going to be a tough few months for me as I check this thread multiple times a day, haha. It would be neat if we see the clubsport wing and lizard!

So GT4/Spyder reveal at Goodwood in July?

I have read a few articles recently that suggest the GT4 will be a flat6, but turbo charged 3.0, like the 911. Thoughts?

Anyway, congratulations on each of the points you make above; it seems that a) the CS is NOT 4.0, as many said; b) Porsche have already said the road car needn't be the same engine as the CS, so even if it ultimately proves to be the same your point is correct; c) I think you speculated that it might be a turbo motor, but I'm unwilling to read back enough to find out. Now that speculation looks to be wrong, but I suppose all bets are off till we see the car. I do sorta hope it is, though, just for the pure schadenfreude of seeing the overly-certain experts be wrong again; it's the cussed contrarian in me.

“...Plus, we've got a new Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder coming this year with a flat-six to keep things exciting...”

*3.0 Turbo hybrid..there I said it.
They need a test sample to see how that is going to go over with the GT3 crowd when they are forced to do it....

I messaged this amateur on Instagram... he admitted to quickly writing this article and said the new GT4 will have the 3.0T from the 911S because that's what the last generation had.... wow great digging! I did point him to this thread so he can get some more insight to the possibilities.

At the risk of getting put on the pariah blacklist or something, I will admit I was pulling for you through the whole weird debate a few months ago before the CS reveal. I have no dog in the hunt, but the smug arrogance of the so-called experts, with their "I go to the factory and they would never steer me wrong" proclamations, plus the sycophantic "You GO, hero!!!" cheering of their star-struck supporters ("Do you KNOW who you're questioning??? Why, he correctly predicted the release of the Gmund Coupe back in 1948!!!"), made me feel like I had wandered onto HondaFanBoi.Net, not a gathering of supposedly free-thinking professionals who can afford a car like this.
Anyway, congratulations on each of the points you make above; it seems that a) the CS is NOT 4.0, as many said; b) Porsche have already said the road car needn't be the same engine as the CS, so even if it ultimately proves to be the same your point is correct; c) I think you speculated that it might be a turbo motor, but I'm unwilling to read back enough to find out. Now that speculation looks to be wrong, but I suppose all bets are off till we see the car. I do sorta hope it is, though, just for the pure schadenfreude of seeing the overly-certain experts be wrong again; it's the cussed contrarian in me.

Also, one of the "experts" specifically said that the reveal for the car would take place at the LA Auto Show.
And that Geneva 2019 would be for the 992.
