Dario:

Having different info my Source told me 0-300 for turbo S a around 32 secs. Gearing is longue 7the gear purly overdrive top Speed reaching in 6 gear, so gear ratio 5th gear and 6the gear are pretty long (maybee to long). Still we should not forget the engine is pretty simular to the 997.2 turbo s and we are dealing with just 30hp more.

other thing, the aditional down force over the 997.2 doesnt improvement drag factor in highspeed. Apparently Dörtingerhöhe Top speed is just slightly above 997 turbo s. 

 

 

Your source is wrong. Smiley 991 Turbo needs 35.x seconds from 0-300 kph and this car has even 10 horses less than the 997 Turbo S. Smiley You are also wrong about down force and drag, a very nice graphic explaining it will be available to the press in August.  Smiley

Yes, top speed is reached in 6th gear but this is nothing new. 6th gear cannot be too long since it limits the top speed to 318.
