To phase out the Metzger engine would mean the new engine must go not only into the GT3 / RS, but also the Cup and RSR etc. Without a proper dry sump? Unless, of course, they make a dry sump, Ti conrod version of it for the race cars.
The new Turbo motor is a dry sump motor.....

Nope, this discussion has been had over and over again but it isn't a true dry sump with external tank. Its an integrated dry sump which is more or less a glorified pan design with voids in the block to store the oil...
