This whole 960 race car talk….
If and when they do release it, I assume it will replace the 911RSR and not the 911 Cup?
That way the road going 960 sales can benefit from the top dog factory race car promotion while the 911 Cup program can remaining affordable by pulling tubs off the assembly line of the mass produced 911.

Thanks.
Lighter, wider, more down force, more HP, shorter gear ratio. All good things if you like an automatic GT3.
I still think the side air intakes are to feed an (eventually?) bigger displacement engine.

Increase in down force from a larger wing... and an active Gurney flap?

if the wing looks like a shriveled up wee wee we see on spy photo, I'll have to dump my purple pills into extended fuel tank while pumping 150 octane gas.

graft on rsr fenders and 80" blade lol.
