True...but the GT4 isn't going to have the flat 4 from the 718, but rather a flat 6!

My GT4 is very hard to tune. I can’t imagine the 718 variant being much easier.

Ever heard of the Nonturbo MKIV? Or the R34 GTT? Maybe even just a normal C7 Vette? I could go on, but this is not a special situation.

It’s not a replacement. It’s a different version of the same car. It will be faster, and more expensive. Think GT3 versus base 911.

yeah, it's not a replacement at all... it's also going to be quite a bit more money and will have absolute emphasis on track performance
it's just like the majority of other manufacturers do with the high end models: GTR Nismo, Cayman GT4, Shelby GT350, C7 Z06, etc

the car was never planned to be much more than 400ps (although that's not a set number; more of a median)
plenty of folks will have cars that already outperform the GRMN by the time it comes out when it comes to all out performance, and Tada knows that. Some folks want to purchase something that's already been modified by the factory with bespoke parts, warranty, abides by the original engineering goals, and is able to be financed.
that said, it will certainly have more than few tricks up its sleeve as you might expect.

I know this, but it'll be a naturally aspirated engine and no turbo, that was my point.
