Ask away: what do you need to know? I can now share the last 6 months of development with all of you guys/
Since you offered:
1, What are the changes between the previous car and this one apart from the power and torque improvements,
2, It appears that the new car did not get the complete X51 kit. Are there any other improvements you see that are not part of the presser,
3, How much faster do you think the new car will be compared to the previous car on a track like the Nurburgring,
4, Do you think the street car will have the exact same engine and improvements or do you think it might not all carry over. There are still rumors of a 4.0L powering the street car. What's your take on it,
5, Are there any new parts that have moved over from the GT3 cars. The front suspension only the 981 was also from the GT3.

Finally, are there any specific things that you would like to add that might not be clearly evident based on what's been announced by porsche.

If that's the case, I'm going to bet turbo 4/6 for the street car. Passes Euro emissions and stays under 3l for taxes. While I knew the 718 was doing well in China, I was skeptical about the comments that it was designed FOR China until reading the article below. Based on that article, seems like Porsche needs the next GT4 to be China friendly now that they are the biggest single market for the 718....

The road car can (and possibly will) have a different engine to the race car. Rather fishy delay / unusual sequencing of the release of the race car and road car.
