Followed this fast Porsche caravan hot weather testing in the canyons near my home until they pulled over and we chatted.

They were all very nice German folk.

New GT4 and 718 RS spider both had manuals and don't want to get anyone in trouble but all I will say is they sound very similar to my 991.2 GT3.

The interiors of the 992 look vastly different from the 991. Much more modern and Audi inspired. Not a big fan of that electro shifter for the PDK models which looks like the old X5 shifter. Not very sporty.

Cars look done to the point one had the carbon fiber interior trim and the other the exterior colour painted interior trim.

Didn't take interior pics as they asked me not to and they were very uncovered.

To bring this back in topic the M5 kept up just fine in areas where they were pushing

GT4 and the Spyder will carry the new 4L detuned. Both only come in manual .....many Spyder owners are waiting on actual numbers. The current is 2800 lbs 375 hp 5 less than the GT4 still trades above MSRP. Thanks for sharing.

Could the GT4 be tuned to GT3 levels with supported tuning?
