Latest serious 997 infos
He asked me not to repeat, and it's fine, I'm not repeating, I'm just passing on the info tough if he finds out.
1- Presentation of the 997 in Paris
2- Two Versions: Narrow and wide body
3- 350 hp and 380 hp respectively (plus or minus 2 or 3 bhp)
5- 3.8 L flat 6, which means about 100 bhp/L for the wide body, sweet...
4- Carrera 4 and cab versions to come later (at least a year) in both bodies
6- He didn't know if you could get the narrow version with 380 hp but suspects not.
7- the 380 hp is NOT derived from the GT1 flat 6, as is the GT3 and Turbo.
8- 997 Turbo power figure will most probably start with a 5! (If not, the powerkit definitly will)
9- Very substantial rise in price, expecially the 380 hp version , also due to the Boxster coupe, which will be amini 911 in itself.
10- didn't know about the F1 gearbox, sorry
11- First official pictures published on the 7th of June!!!
This is all very positive news to me.
Voila!
