I'll keep adding to this first post and if you share one I'll add it here as well.

I thought, that at some point people were looking for this first video and the reason I'm sharing it here? Seems that around the time the 4.0 was announced, some of the previous info on the car has become difficult to find?
Short clip:

Yea well.... too late so I running with it!

Hey I'm good with it. Love driving my GTS. I like it a lot more that the 981s I test drove. So not sure I'd like the 4.0 any better. I just think the whole LeMons, 718 champion car of all time, put Porsche on the map thing was BS ..... looking back of course. Hey, I guess they're trying to sell something. Something somewhat expensive and competing with other brands for that dough. So why should I expect anything less than BS? Maybe I should have asked JD Power and Associates who is the most trustworthy brand in sports cars? lol

very interesting video... base 718 with PDK and SC, I'm very impressed with the times he's getting.

That pretty much matched the video from edmunds. Very impressive for the base car and seems to be almost the same as what the 718 S is doing.

 

[HooosierDaddy]

Very interesting, I kind of like the end result.

One reason I would always by insurance.

Man, looks like there was noting left of that deer except for the skin.

As been touched on in another thread, the GTS 4.0 vids are now out. I do however highly recommend this one. Thomas is a massive fan of the 718 and I do encourage you to search their channel for the multiple vids they have. What I love about him is he is very factual and tells it as it is. Vid is playing for me as we speak so can't say if he's slagged it but that isn't his style - unless he's calling out something being cheaply built etc.

 

[HooosierDaddy]

This guy... He's pretty happy!

Janko sold his 718 and gave me the chance to buy his TWL ducktail. He has the right vision on the flat four, check his other video’s because he is one of the few Porsche connaisseurs who dares to say it out loud.
