I'm not a fan of that diffuser sticking out of the rear end so much. Any of the 718 models suffer in appearance compared to the 981's. 4L or not, they're likely to really jack the price with minimal improvement in performance. I'll be keeping my 981 GT4

The Spyder sure as heck sounded NA when he walked past it. Sounded very mean.

Dont forget the factory sports exhaust on 991.2 sound pretty good for turbo.
I'm guessing they'v gone all out to make the gt4 sound better. Well as good as a turbo can sound anyway.

Yeah, not sure what they're trying to do with that. Looks weird on that car.

Could not disagree more. And that Spyder did not sound anything like the .2 sport exhaust I've heard. The video could be playing tricks, but that sounds like a big mean NA motor to me. If they made the 3l turbo rumble like that, they really need to roll that exhaust out across the lineup.

Even if it is the same engine as used in a Carrera or GT3, I would expect it to sound different due to plumbing, just as the 3.8 in my GT4 sounds a good bit different than the same engine in my 991. So whether it's a turbo 6 or a 4.0 NA, I'd expect it to sound different than those engines sound in the back of a 911.
