RC:

992 has a particulate filter, still 6-cyl. boxer engine though. No 4-cyl in the 992, thank god.

Regarding McLaren and the Carbon tub and Porsche: Porsche seems to think that the weight advantage isn't essential, they try to cope with the weight using a different approach, incl. the mild hybridization which apparently seems to boost performance as well.

I admire McLaren a lot for their light weight approaches but I think Porsche is also under pressure to keep high gain margins per car, so... Smiley It would be interesting to take a peek at the gain margins of McLaren and Porsche, I mean the ones we won't going to see or learn about (there are only guesses...I think).

I also think that a Porsche is more seen as a daily driver, and customers will not accept the cost of reparation of a CF tub. McLaren is more seen as a supercar with the associated cost. They can afford to charge sky-high prices for reparation, where Porsche can not (for the 911 range).
