It's not like AP hasnt been wrong before.
He has.

Playing a 718 GTS vid and a 981 sypder vid makes it even more obvious.


Agreed 100%
It's blatantly obvious.

Anyone who says otherwise needs to get their ears checked.

AP has also stated during the original GT4 release that the 3.8L S motor didn't originally fit in the car. I think that is just a way to steer the crowd in the other direction. I think the 718 GT4 will have the Carrara S turbo motor.

99% it's Not the 991.2 3L H6 Turbo Carrera engine, no intercooler outlet:

No IC. A throwback to the original 930 3.0.

Sounded like a turbo to me...............if thats the case I think it'll be a hard sell. why? because the 991 series II exists in turbo form and delivers fantastic performance. Looks like I'll have a fair wait until the release of the turbo 992 GT3. First world problem par excellence.

They wouldn't mount the intercooler in the back. I think it would be in the front like the four banger.

I think it could still be a six but turbo.

You would have to put the turbos in the driver and passenger seat if so....

Fake turbo noises clearly the work of Cambridge Analytica. Tapping into deep rooted fears and spreading misinformation. Guessing one of the crazy 981 Spyder owners is funding them...

After months of wondering why no spy photo carries sound, we have sound and are all more confused than ever

Will hold judgement (and my 981 GT4) until I hear 781 GT4 test mule exhaust note in the wild. The only clip i've seen is with it idling which isnt enough for me. Only conclusion I draw from this video is that the spyder appears to be turbo and camera man got spooked with her simple glance. Wish he changed lane and kept filming!
