Rossi:
Boxster Coupe GTS:
  1. 9A1 motor for sure with 480 hp for GT3
  2. PDK-S (he used this term twice) which has been tested with the 9A1 for over 4 years he claims
  3. Weight loss of 180-200 lbs through use of composites
  4. Absolutely no hybrid tech. He said specifically it doesnt fit the GT3 motif
  5. Confirmed no more Gt1 (Mezger) block after GT3 RS LE (he confirmed 4.0 RSR motor)
  6. 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. Smiley

 Very interesting . 480 HP with less weight will make it perfect Smiley 

The 'mid-engine' layout is much less appealing,Smiley but lets wait to see...
