"Six-cylinder turbocharged engine wouldn't fit," he said. "Naturally-aspirated we have today, and most likely we will offer versions in the future, like GT4 for example. We keep this line of naturally-aspirated engines in the GT3 and GT3 RS and so on, as well as GT4, we will develop it."

What is the round lens looking thing in the front center grill ?
Hi,
this is a radar system to measure the distance to the car in front of you. There will be also an option to read speed signs and show the actual speed limit in the instrument cluster display.

Some thing tells me that who ever (automaker) will offer a vehicle with 2 sets of keys, four wheels, brakes and a gas pedal hard wired to an air/fuel mix intake, WILL take over that Playstation-like market in no time.
Would be nice to consider (automakers, if you are reading these). At least when a world power decide to shut down the transportation network of another, my little car will still work

4-cyl I'm impressed (although never seen/tried the car myself)
That farting.burping is not going to happen here for sure... I'd be so embarrassed to own something that fakes somehow broken-engine/ims-like noises. Geez. Hopefully the thing shuts-up on the normal mode, could work until aftermarket exhaust manufacturers "fix" it.
On a in-car note, its not all that bad. This car is certainly rocket fast for a little 4-cyl. I think I'd settle for that. Could be fun, for when you feel street-suicidal loll

Having driven the 718S it is fast but very clinically. My 02 S is much more invoking and fun just at lower speeds.
Fred, alot of the sound you are hearing in that video is pumped in by a speaker, which when you are driving the car is noticeably.
My wife drove the base and liked how that sounded and it sounds like others like it better then the S. I'm might have to go back to my dealer dealer and give it a try. For the driving I do it's still has plenty of power and is faster then any 986.

Know what you mean
I've heard from the guys that P is at the track in mid Aug and plan on bringing a few of those 718. That's the idea apparently. Other gossips says we won't be able to try them but can ride as passenger.
For street-use I can't think of needing anything faster than that myself lolll. The base price certainly seems appealing brand new but in my case (financially) it won't happen before min 2~3 years for sure anyway :/
Need to see that little red roadster in person, possibly the only chance I'll have to sit in one also. Really (really) like that car. Roadster fan in me says that chances that I buy one 'used' in just a few years is roughly 100% certain
