I'm not a fan of GT cars that stray so far from the design of the road car offerings, but still hoping Porsche will be more competitive with the new car.
I saw the car at Sebring today Seemed it was shifting at low ish RPM definitely didn't sound like 9k Turbo?
Is it a turbo? Sounds like a 6 in the video.
Might as well turbo it - seems like many of the others are. I'm a bit out of the loop admittedly, but I was surprised to find that the BMWs and Ferraris (in addition to others) were turbocharged when I went to the Lime Rock race this past summer.

Dan, was the car louder than a standard Cup? If it's a turbo and it's muffled enough they may not need to run two different exhaust configurations for IMSA and the WEC.
It actually sounds like they've reverted back to the 996 RSR exhaust set-up with one straight pipe coming off each side of the engine. I'm not sure why they moved away from that in the first place. Perhaps someone can fill me in. Anyway, I'm sure it's all functional!
