Sold already.

The yellow car they listed yesterday at £85k has been increased to £90k today as well.

I'm not surprised about the yellow car, IMO it was too cheap at £85k, and arguably too cheap (considering the spec and competition) and a bargain at £90k. smile

I note that Silverstone have also put up the price of their red car. It was on auto trader at £82k when I went to look at it and they were due to pick it up the next day. Now at £91.5k. I think it’s over priced tbh compared to the yellow one.

Looks like their way to promote the use of online reservation module.. But the yellow one got no real photos yet

Random question, both coolant and oil running at 106 deg with normal, relaxed driving. It’s hotter than I remember, is this normal?
Perfectly normal for the new 4.0 in the 718 GTS/GT4/Spyder. They run hotter than previous models smile
I was about to ask exactly the same question!

Yep mine also runs quite hot. Still running in so taking it easy but anything up to 115 C for oil. Manual in case that makes any difference….seems normal for them to run warm. Coolant seems to be a bit cooler (pun intended….). smile

Just passed 1000 miles…. Getting there!!

My 718 GT4 has just ticked over 3 years old - time has certainly flown! I've ever dared to drive it and I'm rapidly racking up 13k miles, mostly road but some track too. Perish the thought, and it hasn't got PPF either driving

Any original owners had their cars longer? I was very lucky and I think I had the 3rd car at my OPC, so you'd have to have been at the top the allocation list I suspect...

There might be an element of pricing in Porsche's soon to be announced MY24 price increases.

Most new orders will probably fall into MY24 production, and it looks like a 5-8% price rise is in the pipeline and dealer's typically adjust used values towards new.

10,000 miles in 18mths in mine. No PPF either, and horror of horrors… it’s not got carbon buckets. It’ll be worth 50p by Christmas. hehe

Nice going - good to see someone else getting done miles in. These cars are too good to sit idle!

I was out in mine today, cruising through traffic, just enjoying a short journey to and from my OPC with a bit of sunshine to brighten things up.

Simple pleasures smile

I've got one of the previous 981 GT4 models. Oil and water both run pretty warm, but reduce dramatically and quickly after switching to "Sport" driving mode. Typically sit around 102-4 degrees if I remember right, and drop to about 85-90 degrees when that button is engaged. Mine's manual, so the sport button also engages the "blipper" for downshifts, which generally brightens my day.

Hi.

I have just received a letter from my OPC saying my service is due. I thought the recommended intervals were 2 years or 20k miles, whichever came first. My car is March 2022 and has done 15k (I know intense usage for a gt4!).
I can’t find the official Porsche figures. Can anybody confirm?
Thanks
Rob

Yep 2 yrs or 20k miles whichever comes first is correct. Sounds like a mistake. Coincidence it is 12 months old. Could be a recall perhaps best check with them.

Cheers, thought I’d check, tho with my mileage and waiting times to book a slot probably worth booking soon.
