This is what was expected. It seems an indication that PAG is confident on the 9A1 reliability to develop it further adding turbos.

Whilst the PDK will come standard with the steering wheel buttons we are used to
Steering wheel paddles will be an option:

Also as ADias mentioned it uses the new engine we are used to

Look good but can't they do something with the foglight cyst. The new wheels look marginally better.

I see a lot of HRE in the new wheels on the yellow coupe. Looks like they went to the center locker's like they did on the GT3. Won't make the aftermarket people too happy.

I am 50 years old and i still dont understand the turbo cab. I understand the turbo and I understand the Cab. But I dont understand the turbo cab. You can never use the potential of the turbo in a cab.
Its a ununderstandable compromise in my engineering brain. Like buying a new set of skis to ski down rocks.
I dont fault people who buy em. Thats what our Republic used to stand for, I just dont get it.

Is it a fact that its using the 9A1 or is this speculation? Thanks

You never know when you might need it. Mine does 191.
