Default How much power do you think the new GT2 will make?

As we know, there won't be a manual gearbox, but Porsche CEO Oliver Blume is saying: "Today, we can’t talk about the power, but when we launch the car, you will see at which level we can get to. And we’re still working at it."

Given that the last version has 620hp, I have to wonder what number they'll hit with the new version? Think we'll see 700?

An equal amount more than the last gen, 120 would put it right at 700.
Blume's quote leads me to think it would be more than 700 if they're going to show their capabilities.

Closer to 800 would distance it enough from other marques to make owner feel special and issue a TKO with the rear weight bias. The new Viper ACS needs to be spanked by it or the effort was a waste.

Yeah, it makes sense that they'll crack 700, and correct that 800 would be insane. Ha ha!
