I would love it if the new GT3 is turbo
I would prefer an NA Flat-8, but I could be happy with a GT3 using electric turbos and manual gearbox if the performance, price, and fun are in good proportions.
What about the new upcoming EU emissions restrictions didn't you exactly understand?
V8 engines will be at some point a thing of the past, unfortunately. Even the turbo charged ones.
Porsche is rumored to work on a new V8 engine generation with lower capacity (4 l and lower) but so far, I haven't heard anything new about this engine. I just hope it comes because I cannot imagine a Cayenne or even a proper mid engined Ferrari/Lamborghini competitor without a decent V8...at least. Or flat 8 if you want to but I'm not so sure Porsche will go that way. The 4-cyl. is a different story.
I am still surprised that Chrysler came up with the Hellcat models. I wonder how long this will be sustainable for them from an emissions and fleet consumption/CO2 output point of view. There is also a rumor that a Jeep GC with Hellcat engine could become a reality but I really wonder how Chrysler will do that? Maybe they find a loophole (limited production models under a different manufacturer name, I don't have a clue how this could work).
