Would put it back on my radar. The 4 may be fast, but it's a poorly engineered thing in regards to lag, plumbing lengths and sound.

That’s really interesting. Porsche has proven that it listens very closely to its enthusiast base so i think this could be possible.

The part that makes it interesting is that as uncompelling as the 4cyl is in the 718, it’s clearly a better performer than the non-GT4’s flat sixes. So Porsche will be objectively making the car worse to appeal more emotionally to its customers?

In the words of the immortal Pepper Brooks:

The 4's lack of sense pleasing vocals was THE reason, imo. Numbers are stupid good, but...
I think they're struggling to sell them.

For 90k I want to hear the damn thing lol.

I would still take one if they drop in price drastically. Hell of a car...for a 4.

I'm just hoping current GT4 owners move up and prices go down so I can snag a '16 for a good price in the next 2 years

718 (codename 982) GT4 and Spyder will be coming out with 6 cylinder instead of 4.

I am waiting for Geneva show this March where they will be revealing them to actually see the car but many inside sources already confirmed it will be 6 indeed.

Porsche already revealed the new GT4 clubsport with 6 cylinder engine and it will make it down to the street car as well.

New 718 GT4 is essentially confirmed to have a flat 6. Question is which one? Everyone was speculating it'll be a detuned version of the 4.0L from the current 991.2 GT3 but rumors are pointing to a 420hp 3.8L instead.

Either way, it'll be a screamer.

Now seems like a great time to jump on the 981 GT4, especially if you want a 718 GT4. Reason being, you could likely get a used 981 and use the purchase to get on the dealer list for the 718 then trade it back in for a very minor loss. Otherwise you'll likely either be out of luck or paying a mark-up.

Yup completely agree. Even though the car looks and performs great people cannot get past the fact that it has a 4cyl. For that kind of money people sure don't expect a 4cyl engine.

That being said, I will def be keeping an eye on 718 gts prices over the next year or two
