Rossi:
Boxster Coupe GTS:
- 9A1 motor for sure with 480 hp for GT3
- PDK-S (he used this term twice) which has been tested with the 9A1 for over 4 years he claims
- Weight loss of 180-200 lbs through use of composites
- Absolutely no hybrid tech. He said specifically it doesnt fit the GT3 motif
- Confirmed no more Gt1 (Mezger) block after GT3 RS LE (he confirmed 4.0 RSR motor)
- Stressed the move of the motor forward essentially making the car a mid-engine car, even though Porsche will never call it one. He says this will make the car more balanced
I wont say the guy's name but he is in a very high position within P-motorsport.
He also absolutely stressed no 8 cylinder and I asked him multiple times. We spoke of the car in terms of the 991 Cup car in relation to the 991 GT3, as I figured he's tell me more if it was within this context! When I asked him about weight loss of the "base" 991 he said 130 pounds or so with more in the GT3. I asked about through the use of stuff like on the Gt2RS and he nodded in the affirmative.
130 lbs weight reduction and mid-engine sound very interesting.

Very interesting . 480 HP with less weight will make it perfect
The 'mid-engine' layout is much less appealing, but lets wait to see...
