We know Porsche is racing the 991 with the Mezger engine this year. Is the intention to develop this new DFI GT3 block this year so that they can race it next year? Or will the Mezger continue as the race engine for the foreseeable future?
hi boytronic,
good question..nobody really knows. I suspect they will use the Mezger until the new Boxer 8 Cylinder is there...simply since they have no other choice. The current 9A1 engine, also in the 991 GT3 now, has been introduced in 2008..and developed already some time before..if Porsche still doesnt use it in racing in 2013..what are they waiting for?
Thats why I believe they will continue to use it..as they have no other choice..they had at least 5 years to prepare the 9a1 engine for racing..
