the whole discussion is pointless in my book - the only interesting Topic is how Long Porsche will stay on NA engines. 

This should indeed make the last of the last highly desirable Smiley

Those glorious NA flat-sixes seem to have reached their performance limits and more power is needed if the GT models are going to stay competitive. I cannot see a 4.0l 500hp NA engine cut it for the next generation GT3.

More engine displacement is probably not realistic nor going to help much. More engine cylinders is probably not going to fit nor does it go well with the 911 heritage. Hence forced induction or clever hybrid for more power.

Agreed. Smiley

Porsche may be at the crossroads here with the GT models and the 911 Turbo models.

Maybe time to save development and build cost and make one car only, which then could be "separated" in different power stages, chassis setups and/or weight figures. 

People don't want only a good track tool anymore, they also want to be fast on the Autobahn and drag strip as well.
