reginos:

The NBR temperature was 3-4 C during the test.

BTW, Porsche haven't managed to reduce the weight of the new Turbo, contrary to the 981 and 991 models. Is this due to the further widening of the rear body?

"Form follows function"

At some point, raising the power becomes a problem. Do you really think that the 2020 generation Turbo will have 700 hp? Smiley I rather think that weight lowering will be the "new" major improvement in performance over the next decade, so why should they lower weight (and increase production cost) as long as they can adjust performance through power upgrades? The moment power upgrades become a problem (environmental laws, fleet consumption regulations, etc.) because of fuel efficiency and emissions, weight reduction will be the way to achieve a better performance but at the same time reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
