Why isn't the 991 a CF tub?

cool video. I know you are just kidding when you asking about the 991 being a CF tub. Good joke though

Love the cylinder firing order shown at 1:27. Also wicked impressive that it has top-mounted pushrod Ohlins dampers. Wonder if Porsche in future 911 developments will ever address the limitations of a strut-based front suspension?

991 = $80,000 car. Aventador = $380,000 car. I wonder...

'94-'01 Honda (Acura) Integras utilize 4-wheel double wishbone suspension. It does not take a $300K car to move away from a MacPherson strut front suspension design...it might however take that much cake to employ a CF tub, horizontal Ohlins dampers, and an all new transmission and engine. : )

Not sure about the Turbo but the upcoming 991 GT series might access the carbon tech with VW Sportbaukasten
