One of the most interesting discussions is how Porsche plan to make use of the normally aspirated Porsche Motorsport V8 based on the engine from the RS Spyder race car...

Porsche are planning to use the Porsche Motorsport V8 engine in the various future models...

"High-speed V8 engine with a displacement of more than 4.0 litres with maximum power above 368kW (500 hp)"

"The V8 engine is a further development of the direct injection engine from the successful RS Spyder race car and now offers an output of precisely 563 hp at 10,300/rpm in the 918 RSR... "

 

"Theoretically, there is indeed still some space there. A 911 GT2 RS costs about EUR220,000. The 918 Spyder will be significantly more than that. Between the two there is still a gap where Italian competitors are currently very active. We are investigating that as an in-house project. We will make a decision by the middle of the year..."

-- Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller

 

...Porsche 991 GT3 RS may run with a derivative of the awesome RS Spyder V8 motorsport engine...
