pretty good considering the 700+hp F12 does it in 11.3 at 132.

and a full sec and 10mph faster than the Carrera.

Nice

That's outrageous. If that's not supercar numbers I don't know what is.

As some of us suspected/hoped, in real life it is actually LIGHTER than previous gen GT3 (not RS), and by 80+lbs at that! The weight distribution is also practically perfect now - mid-engine car territory, within 2-3% of 458 and MP12C. The acceleration numbers are unreal - I do not think PDK or launch control, no matter how good, can explain that. Probably a well-underrated engine...

After buying my first Porsche today, I did not expect another piece of Porsche good news :-)
