I have a feeling the new models will be a v8, what do you guys think about the sound, is it a v8 or flat 6?

+1 Lower rumble at low speeds. New ruf has an 8 cylinder engine... sounds different.

Sounds like a flat 6 with a sharky bypass installed.

interesting to see...I just can't figure out how they can squeeze more power from the F6 and keep up with the v8s from audi, benz, bmw and ferrari (520hp up) short of putting the 3.8. 4.0 and 3.6TT GT3/GT2 engines on a regular carrera. They need at least 420hp for non S model to compete with newer generations...
