If its like the previous generation GT4 it will be very limited numbers.

Flat 6 with 400 horses is anticipated as the power source.

I suggest that a visit to your local OPC and discussion with the Principle might gain more insight on the numbers they have who have expressed an interest, the likely hood of them getting an allocation and your chances of getting one if you give them now a letter of intent to buy with a deposit.

Then repeat at other franchises but not having any buying history from them might well be fruitless.

A word in Arif's ear might get him to sound out his friendly OPC as Arif is a serious serial buyer.

I don't think it will be a flat 6 - there are rumours that a flat 6 won't fit in the 718 bay.

I've even heard rumours that it won't be called a 718 (718 being all about 4-pot turbos).
If I had solid information about it, I'd keep it to myself, as I'd be quite keen on a 2nd gen GT4 :)

Yea there's been lots of guesswork from that May sighting.

Yeah, I may have to make a visit and start talking, as there is only one OPC in NI, options are limited....but sure you can only but ask....

I'm not really bothered by what engine is in there or as some may do to cash in on a premium GT limited car, I just want one to drive it.... I drove the GT3 RS at Silverstone and I'm hooked, if it is half as good as that then i'm sold...

I may even consider a used GT4 as a stop gap, but I hate to pay a premium on one....

I think in N Ireland being a small pool with already plenty of VIP buyers known to the Porsche centre it's something like a snowballs chance in a hot place but worth asking I'm sure.
