Sounds like a turbo 6 and it does look to be mid-engined. Where can I buy one? A mid-engined 911, yummy.

How do you move the engine forward in a layout where engine and gearbox are directly bolted together, therefore also defining the point where the rear axles sit in the car? I would think that moving it forward will also move the diff forward? Or are they adding spacers or sth between engine and gear box?
This is a serious question. Just can't imagine how they would pull this off?

Fast is not what matters. The BOP will remove that advantage. What a mid-engine platform can do is allow faster cornering speeds and better tire performance/longevity. Maybe they will get better mileage so they have less stops or quicker stops because of less consumption. I'm curious what else they are going to gain. What they should do is move the radiators so they don't get damaged from the least agro event. They have been a real weak spot in the 911 since going water cooled.

Sure you can. A 944 is a perfect example. The BOP is going to reduce RPM, HP and/or Torque to throttle the car's performance. Either way, that won't necessarily reduce cornering speed. Exit speed and top speed, however, could be effected for competition adjustments.

• Minimum weight of the car
• Engine air restrictor and boost pressure ratio
• Fuel tank capacity

Gee, glad we did this a year ago. no 3 rads, 185f water temps. shroud is off which directs hot air to louvres in hood. room for 2 oil coolers, under headlights, 190 f. Plus more downforce.
