Re: OFFICIAL: 911 GT2 RS (2017)
Whoopsy:The water is only in use if the ECU detects the intake temperature to be above a certain temperature. So it's actually not an "overboost".
I had asked AP specifically about how long the water tank will last. His answer was that on a hot day at the Ring it will last 3 laps. So if someone is running the car at a cooler place where the intake temperature doesn't get above the threshold, the water tank could last forever as it won't even be called into action.
A hot day at the Ring is what? 25 degrees and up?
So theoretically, say someone at a track day in say Silverstone in the summer, with ambient at 20 degrees or so, the water tank may not even be in use, or even if it is, it will likely last longer than a typical session time of 30 mins or so.
I hardly believe anything coming from Porsche staff anymore, be it the chief engineer or their favorite test driver
If I were to get one, I'd end up mounting two bottles under the hood of the GT2 RS (Mobil 1 + Volvic 1.5L) you never know when that annoying message will pop up on your dash and asks you to pull over or slow down
Once again, they will be relying on lap times to overshadow the so called consistent "700hp".
The numbers are pretty astonishing, with the GT2 RS producing a maximum power output of 690bhp and 553lb ft of torque from a 911 Turbo S derived 3.8-litre biturbo flat-six engine.
R&D team keeps on getting lazier and lazier, in the old days, it was the exterior design when someone wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a Carrera S vs Carrera 4S, but nowadays it's the whole package inside and out
