If we could just see behind the bumper covers on all of those black cars ripping up the Nurburgring lately it sure would be nice.

RS is guaranteed to have not new motor architecture but absolutely derived motor from 9A1. Hatz messed everyone up and what he meant was from the last Gen car. It is 4.0 liter 9A1 and over 500hp. Told me time and again that the GT3 is basis for motorsport engine. There is some special sauce in the GT3 motor and transmission. I was told race mode PDK with a mode to alter torque vectoring.
Specifically asked when we would see a 918 type electric boost and he told me no way in 991.1, no way in 991.2, and testing currently in 992.
Told me all 991.2's are turbo. He told me there is the very very real possibility that this is the last NA GT3/RS. Mostly due to Euro 6 rules.
Also got lots of info on GT4 which I'd prefer not to post in the public forum but would be happy to reply by PM.

fantastic information... agree that after 200 pages of BS speculation, you should be awarded lifetime status for this insight...
separately, but much more important, what a great photo of the boys (the last one, behind your car)...they look very happy, that's a framer
talk soon

I hear Audi will have electric turbos first, followed by Porsche. I speculate that the 991.2RS/GT2RS will be electric turbocharged. No lag. Or so they say. On the other hand, the 1.2RS may have KERS and the GT2 will have electric turbos. Either way, bye bye NA.
