    Great video, the sound from that flat six is something.. And the driving by Walter is always spot on. Thanks!

    PDK and DFI are not possible with GT1 block. It is excellent engine, proven in many,. many races. Just, as hard as Porsche is updating it(new GT3 engine is EU5 norm!) end of its life is near I am affraid...
    I see that...
    So Porsche will use 9a1 instead of Gt1 engine blocks in turbo FL.
    And coming Gt2 will use Gt3 3.8 engine while adding turbos...

    What are the principal differences between 9a1 and updated gt3 ebgine families?
    What is the main reason for Porsche to develop both?

    The RSR is getting a 4.0 soon, so I wonder if this will filter through to street models in the near future.

    Next 911 model name 991 will have 4.0l engine in GTS and higher versions as it is widely speculated.

    I'm not entirely sold on the looks (prefer the old 997.1 & 996.1 rear wings) but all in all it looks pretty damn mean. Engineering takes another leap forward too - 3.8l and 6 cylinders yet it still makes the same power and torque as 4.2 V8 R8 (not exactly a shabby old motor now is it!), quite amazing, even if the torque curve isn't as flat.
