Other than the availability of the engine Powerkit, there will be no other significant changes. Option X51 takes the power from 320 HP DIN to 350 HP DIN. The engine size will remain the same. It will be priced in the neighborhood of $10k or more.

It will be the same engine as found in the existing 996 street cars. I guess that would be the M96.04. This X51 option has been available on '02 cars in the ROW.
