Frankels still using his notes from the botched Hatz interview...
What sense does it make anyway to base the new 991.2 Turbo charged engines on a 991 GT atmo engine? Different compression, engine speed, no need for expensive titanium con rods etc. Ok, so its a direct injection combustion engine with horizontal configuration. maybe Thats the similarity? Its like saying the new 991 GT3RS runs the same wheels as the 918. No, it runs the same size wheels are the 918.
331 pages, 30 different "rumours" that ignited us. Lets just sit tight for the next 7 days?

As you probably know, that will not be allowed (for Porsche or anybody else) due to the USA's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration' & DOT rules. It has something to do with our precious soft heads meeting hard tubular steel in case of a road accident...or something along those lines!

We'll see if PAG wants to take my money so that I can order a Voodoo Blue RS.

Don't know if true, but US could try trusting people not to wear them on the street...

OK so here's some speculation / fodder on the engine side of things.... Had a fun debate on this at the shop last night.
Porsche needs to homologate an engine for racing. The 9A1 platform they haven't gotten to perform at the level they want for endurance racing. This new engine is a hybrid of the Mezger platform and 9A1. Something like a modular Mezger design with DFI, weight reduction, improved castings, and used specifically to allow for homologation of a new engine for racing.
Whatcha think?????

The changes accommodated in the 991 GT3RS engine relate to the capacity increase it has been subjected to and include the strengthening of related components. The architecture is 100% the same. Its the same engine!
The knowledgeable party portraying this information to me last Nov was very certain about this fact. I dont think they re designed the engine in 3 months!
