    I love it. It looks like a 911 SHOULD look.


    Normally I dislike the 911 (haven't liked it since the original widebody turbo days of the 80s) but this one looks like it should. I want one.

    It's still just a 911. I'd take a Veyron over it for sheer people-magnet powers.

    @How Wankelin' Got His Sig Back: I want to know when Porsche tuners are going to start using the 3.8L in their high-end turbo tuner cars. I wonder how much more power they could get given that extra 0.2L of displacement.

    @elwood: Probably quite a bit more. But it wouldn't be the displacement, it would be the direct injection.


    The DI motors are probably tricky to boost heavily.

    @brandegee: I'm sure the electronics on the direct injection motors are much more difficult to deal with. But, in addition to much more precise fuel delivery, as I understand it the vaporization of the fuel directly in the cylinder has a significant cooling effect on the intake air charge, giving you much lower intake temps, which ought to allow for the potential to crank the boost even higher.

    @elwood: Good point. Not sure without looking it up, but I think the energy released by the phase change of fuel to vapor is retained by the injection system instead of transferring to the intake air. That amounts to quite a lot of heat that's not added to the system, in addition to the more efficient combustion. I'd guess you'd be flirting with 1,000hp easily at the same boost pressure.

    Every once in a while a car comes along that makes you want to move some place that you could actual drive this car. Not just put around gumming up the engine in 1st gear...

    Engine, start.
    Gas, pressed.
    Wall, hit.
    Game, over.

    @jip1080: I think it would take more like 3 seconds before is all over... You at least need to get it up to 60 mph before it's counted as a good wall hit and it takes your players last remaining life.
