Attended a seminar on the GT4 CS today given by the project manager & the head of Porsche Motorsport. The engine is all stock just like a 2014 Carrera S they did say the DME program was tweaked.

If I remember correctly, the GT4 CS has 385 hp, only 5 hp more than the street version but weights about 120 lbs less (this is where I may be wrong) and has PDK it was a beautiful car!
Right next was a really nice Cayman GTS.

At the entrance was a beautiful white GT3 RS but with a $200k tag...!!

The new Targa is pretty amazing. The top mechanism is what happens when engineers drink too many Red Bulls.

I love the look of the new Targa - I think the lines are cleaner than the base 991.

And yes, that top mechanism is what happens when too many German engineers overthink the problem!
