Porsche performance legends DRIVEN: 964 RS, 718 GT4, 718 GTS 4.0, 996 GT3, 992.2 GTS
On the 718 GTS 4.0 versus GT4 engine specifications:
"Essentially the same engine, the GT4's obviously got GT3 underpinnings... The GT4's got a slightly higher red line. So I think it revs to eight. The GTS revs to seven, eight."
