4.0RS engine test mule hidden in a cabrio to throw us off.
Either that or all the 911's get center exhausts with the 2015 facelift, along with PDK-S, 9000RPM, RWS optional.

Teamspeed:
Hopefully, by de-tuned, they don't mean Macca's old engine.

Today we receive another bit of news that will make the purists cringe, regardless if the end result is a faster and more efficient sports car. It seems (this is all still just rumors until confirmed) that Porsche will introduce new turbocharged engines for all upcoming 911 variants but two – the GT3 and GTS. The latter is what you see in our exclusive spy-shots: the all-new 911 GTS Cabrio.
Photographed for the first time today, the GTS will receive a detuned version of the GT3’s future 3.8-liter motor, and will power-wise slot between the to-be-turbocharged 911 Carrera S and the more potent range-topping 911 Turbo variants.
The radical change in Porsche’s engine line-up will be as much a revolution as was the shift from air to water-cooled power-plants some twenty years ago. The reasons, however, are the same: reduction of fuel consumption.

What ever happen to the rumor re: Cycle 6 Emissions which gt3's did not meet?
Perhaps not. I hope to see it as a MY2016 with the introduction of the .2 face lifted 991.
At least one in the 'caravan' of 991 'mules' had one of those turbo motors!
Well, talking about 'fuel consumption. A few months back, while Macca was driving around his new 991 gt3 in Europe after picking it up in Switzerland, he reported a rumor he had heard from reliable Porsche sources that neither the current 991 gt3 nor the yet-to-be-released 991 gt3 RS would be able to meet the stricter Euro Cycle 6 emissions standards for petrol engines to go into effect in the EU on September 2014!
The rumor he heard was that Porsche would rush all 991 gt3 and 991 RS production to completion before Sept. 2014, in order to beat the penalties imposed on these particular models if they didn't meet Euro Cycle 6 emissions! But that also meant that the 991 gt3 or RS would probably NOT be produced after September 2014!
So with the passage of a few months since Macca alerted us to these dark clouds in the horizon re: the hard-to-meet Euro Cycle 6 emissions for the gt3's (Perhaps eventually for all 991 naturally aspirated engines, hence the turbo replacements of even these 'lesser' N/A engines), has anyone been able to flesh out these rumors? Can we get Macca to report the latest re: this rumor and give us a follow-up report from his source?

Personally, I don't like the exhaust that way unless it's a GT3 exhaust.
Looks like they are trying too hard to do something different but can't do a GT3 exhaust on all Carreras.
