4.2 liter for new GT3RS?
#32
Great info - RSR looks great, feels like Porsche may be running into a purple patch. I really thought they'd end up going the turbo route - nice to be proven wrong.

Just saw the Goodwood video. Why would this engine sound like a chainsaw instead of a Porsche racing flat six?

Forget what I said about Kers/Hybrid... they should be able to get this 4.2L with ITB up in the 550-560hp range with better torque curve for 992.1 until next gen maybe...
Hopefully next RS also gets the side exhaust and better rear diffuser! Time to start saving up $ heheheh...

Maybe the physical separation caused by the car between the two side exhausts has this effect (996 had rear outlets on the corners of the car - far left and right)?

New RSR looks fantastic
I do miss the days when the Porsche race cars resembled the factory cars you could buy, and shared many common parts.....those days are gone.
Understanding, they want o compete
On another note....ill bet next RS is mid engine....north of $300K. Hopefully with a hybrid boost
who cares about engine power....make the car stick better

I think that must be part of it. But if I'm remembering right, the 996 GT3 had separate exhausts for each bank without a crossover and didn't sound like this...

The new RSR sounds worse because the exhaust exits on the side, so you only hear one in line 3 cylinder engine on either side. There may also be a muffler or resonator in there. Recall that the current car had a different, much quieter exhaust configuration for the first half of 2017, but they changed it because they had a problem with pickup catching on fire, as evidenced by the Silverstone WEC race.

That’s a picture of the current RSR’s exhaust that I took at Laguna in 2017.

I think the side exhausts on the racing version of the Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona sounded great (but I guess a straight six sounds pretty good...)
