Why don't they use the 3.8L from the Carerra S? Sweet car.

I like that car already. Given a choice, I might take that over a new turbo. That's a lot of N/A HP from a light car. Mmmmm....

GT3 is probably more fun than the Turbo, but the turbo is probably a better DD.

It's a tough call, but I think I prefer the GT3(Sport) over the Turbo (GT).

Save the Carrera GT, I'm still not a huge fan of the new Porsches. Though they do look like they are starting to go in the right direction again. 993>>>>997>996

The front and rear bumpers do look a little busy, but oh my... what a car!

I like to see this engine in the Cayman S

How do you get a brochure without going to the dealership?

Ha, they're bragging 115 hp/L as the highest production car specific horsepower.

I wish the NSX had evolved like the 911.

For a Porsche.

It is the highest NEW current production hp/l for a naturally aspirated car, right?

New S2000: 109hp/ltr

New F430: 112hp/ltr

New GT3: 115hp/ltr

Not much else out there, right?

NOTE: I'm not a hp/ltr ricer, I still think my old LS1 at a whopping 61hp/ltr stock was a beast.
