At full throttle all bets are off. A turbo car will always uses more fuel than a comparable output NA simply because ECU dumps more fuel than necessary into the cylinders to cool the highly compressed charge.

1000 cars seems a bit low, that's not much more than the 911R's numbers and we have seen that mess. Maybe 1500?

Any recent speculations, regarding the power and tech?

Would be nice have a bit more aero DF on the front end also.

Easier to add aero, add brakes, add interior farkles, and as we have seen "add rarity"

Harder to add MPG, Revs, reliability, "magic and feel"


That is for any car this is not an exclusive statement.

In any event. Long time to wait....

Right but 30% of 911 R guys are just resellers.

I have been offered ~50 cars all at stupid prices.

2 blk
15 silver
30-40 white
1 yellow
1 baby poo color

The last guy was in AZ and offered me a white/red car with " nose lift and good options" for "under 600k"

Fwiw I replied "under 400k and it would be a maybe".

I agree with everything except one thing- this car will be so fast that it might have issues. The entire VW group is under intense scrutiny right now and what they are going to launch could/will be the highest HP road engine ever from Porsche.
