I have some issues with my 997S Cab and was talking with someone in the know....He said the Turbo will come out at 525hp and the S will be out the next year with more.
We are a year and a half away from the 997S TT.
Guys, the first time the 480 HP figure has been published, it was HERE on Rennteam.com by one of our moderators.
Since then, I didn't find ONE official Porsche source to deny this figure and I'm not talking about saying "maybe" or whatever. Oh, most of these sources had a big grin on their face.
525 HP for the base Turbo version would be great...and a VERY STUPID thing to do. A 480 HP Turbo can easily keep up with the F430, no need to give too much power away for free I'm afraid.
So yes, there will be a Turbo S and there will be a GT2.
It is not a matter of "IF" but a matter of "WHEN".
And to make sure I'm not too late, I ordered a Turbo S now.
If it comes one year later than I think it is coming, I don't care. But I want it.
