I heard just a few days ago from good authority that there is no official release date for X51 at this time. It is in development and has to meet emission and noise requirements in testing prior to release.



Thanks MMD for that horrible news!

when you write good authority, do you mean that your contact is internal to Porsche?
The only thing I know for sure is that is it NOT in development as 381hp was the initial power developed for the 997S, then tuned down to 355 hp (Marketing, marketing!!! )
(just the way they did with the two 996 engines 320hp to 300hp and 345hp to 320hp actually).
As for noise requirements, doesn't make sense.
Could be true about emissions though.
When my dealer informed me about X51, it said on the document estimate availibility date: September 05.
Hope, hope, hope...
Thanks for the update anyway.
