Porsche has history of racing with turbo engines; i think it is a nice "next-step" before hybrid or full electric.
Are you aware the 3.0L miniturbo its all
except a racing engine in its design or just writing around to spend time?

people said 9A1 was not a racing engine... that mezger was end all be all.. do i think the 3.0L in my 4S will be in the next cup? No. But the concept is legit; and once perfected will make a good replacement for N/A in the GT cars. IMO, 992 GT3/RS will be turbo'ed. Ferrari is already there.

Someone told me he read in an article that the 992 carreras will no longer be turbo. Not sure how true this is but i think he said it would be electrically assisted aka hybrid

I hate speculations so i prefer to just see what happens if he is right

I don't think so. I just bought this 991 GT3RS it was one of the last on the current production run. I know we will see new models in 2018.


My 2016 991 GT3RS Ultraviolet.

maybe; but i don't think that tech is there yet.. batteries get too hot; are heavy; i saw a video where P1 and 918 overheated at thermal; seems to not be as bulletproof as current tech.

I meant the plate - it's very similar to mine, as you know.

I'm going to sit the next round out and wait for 992.
