Anyone hazard a guess whether Porsche will need to update the X51 Powerkit too to be compatible with this new setup?
As Direct Injection is supposed to yield anywhere from 5-25extra BHP let's guess at what the new performance figures will be. 0-100kph times:
Current Carrera S (355bhp) = 4.8s
Current Carrera S +X51 (381bhp) = 4.6s
Facelift Carrera S (375bhp?) = 4.7s?
Facelift Carrera S +X51 (400bhp?) = 4.5s?
Facelift Carrera S +X51 +PDK (400bhp?) = 4.3s?
Porsche seem to like neat positioning of each model in the range so I assume that the Carrera S in any variant wont be faster than a GT3 (4.3s to 100kph), so perhaps my last listed setup will be limited to 4.4s?!
What do you think?
