My view is it will be NA but with a electric motor in the PDK thus no more manuals. The new body apparently provides room for some batteries so look for an NA hybrid with Kers or something similar. Obviously Porsche has previously built a Kers "Cup Car" and has a lot of experience with hi performance NA hybrids. I would seriously doubt that 550-600 bhp from a 4L road car engine is realistically possible. In any event, the future of GT cars looks like they will be heavier which is not a great trend.

I’ve had my eye on a couple. No garage space at the moment as my RS gets in this January and I’m storing an SLS AMG for a friend. He moves into his new place in the next month or so and at that time I’ll have my spot back.

If you have to have someone’s car taking up your parking space, a Gullwing is a pretty good option

I saw one just this week (Silver-Gray color). Maybe same one?

Exactly

It’s a fun car- a German muscle car with a bit of style. I like it quite a bit.

Not me driving the other day- haven’t had it out in a while but it sounds similar in spec.

Here is his, obligatory Gullwing up!

Not all air cooled cars are the same (made for 35 years). Get an MFI S or RS car (69-73), my favorite...

All well and good until you start poking for rust. Makes the MFI rebuild look cheap to fix rust. Never again on long hoods for me. A CARB problem for Cali people, but peak aircooled is a backdated 77 (only year of full galvanized body shell and narrow body) with a 2.7 MFI, 2.5 short stroke, or 3.6 swap.

I bought my original 73S with factory leather Recaros in Aubergine for $16k. Then sold four years later for $27k, thinking I was a genius






I meant S or RS spec (not necessarily original- my RS was only a T)

Never a speck of rust on my 2, but I realize that is not the norm...
