High speed shutter sync using Leica S CS lenses on SL3?

Is there anyway to achieve high speed flash synch with the SL3 when using Leica S CS lenses?

If not, is this something that could be added in the future with firmware?

Thanks,

I doubt it will be added to the SL series, but Leica has mentioned that the upcoming "S4" medium format body will support CS functionality on S lenses. It will also support M and L lenses via adapters.

Where has Leica commented on an upcoming S4?

Here's a non-exhaustive list from Leica Rumors:

Leica isn't keeping this a secret. The chairman of the board and the head of product development have spoken openly about it for years.

Thanks for the link. I’d seen the photo but not read the comments.
