Latest M4 GTS Rumors
So looks like we're seeing the car on August 13th at Pebble Beach --the concept anyways.
There is one photo out there that shows there is a GTS test mule with a manual transmission running around. I hope that it is available as an option, and not just automatic like the E46 CSL and E92 GTS. I would love to own one, and I bet the car will get rave reviews. I wonder if scott26 can comment on the availability of the manual at this time? Is there a way to link him to this thread? Maybe a cryptic reply as usual would provide a hint of some sort. The alcantara steering wheel, and the bucket seats are looking awesome. Last edited by BigMacSmallFries; 08-06-2015 at 10:52 AM.. |

Just out of curiosity would a tune that's available on the standard m4 work with this or it woukd have to be totally revised? If it would with the low production numbers I bet nobody comes out with one and leaves it about the same power as the standard one.

The GTS has water injection as an additional parameter to control, I'm guessing that the ECU map is going to be totally different from the standard S55. Some rumors say around 460 hp my guess is that it's going to be north of 500...

Anyone in the loop on ordering this? I just talked to the dealer who had no clue about it and he called someone else who knew nothing about it and said it was a year and a half out and not even confirmed for usa.seems to be way different then what i read somewhere that it will be produced in march.

For $115k (if I had the means) my money would go to a 991 GTS.. I specc'd mine out for ~$118.. I need not many options lol

I hope its north of 500 because a 40 hp bump with all the practical downsides of water injection is just silly.

991 GTS would depreciate more than a M4 GTS would however- as production for Porsche is lot higher and it is not in any way similar to GT3/RS...M4 GTS might actually hold value pretty well- time will tell

Just out of curiosity, how do we get all this speculation about this super M4 from a picture of a speed cabin w/ bucket seats. That car could be anything no.....like just a basic modded show car....
What am I not seeing. |
