7:09.3!

Very cool but I think more welcome news would be that they're building a absolute buttload of them with speculators and residuals be damned!

23s faster than the GT4?
Not exactly a shabby car in itself.

I reckon more than half that time is down to the tyres. They never compare apples to apples funnily enough...

Blue wheels?

Will now become a thang….

@Ben_106Rallye was clearly trend setting years ago when we all screwed our noses up at his grey 964 with purple Design90’s…..

What is the lap record for an apple around the Ring?

Depends what kind of apple you're referring to.

It could be one being carried by a Swallow.

The colour scheme and spec of the car in Autocar's photos looks like a random GTA modded car spawn, e.g:

"The new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS ... is on sale today priced from £108,370.00 RRP. First cars should arrive in Porsche Centres in the UK and Ireland from Spring 2022."

That’s not cheap.

The blue wheels are positively understated compared to the 996 GT3 RS

The wheels alone, yes... but with the yellow brake calipers, totally different colour blue paintwork and black bonnet etc it looks an incoherent mess:

Just been on the configurator. Those wheels are a 10 grand option!!!

And only on the Weissach pack apparently, which is £9k+.
Then more for the spoiler.

How much more than a std GT4 is it in base spec? £30k.

Jobbo is correct.
