There is a time of coming and a time of. After a rich and fruitful life, we seem next year, at the age of 52, farewell to take the atmospheric boxer engine at the rear of the Porsche 911.

His place will be taken by a turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine, according to Car Magazine. The 3.4 litre engine is downsized to 2.9 litres, and will be good for approx 400 hp (the ability of the current Carrera S). The 3.8 litre engine remains, and will with a turbo around 530 hp out (probably as the GTS, with a slightly lower scaled?). Ergo, the difference between Carrera and Carrera S will be constructed.

It is expected that the Turbo boosted to around 600 hp, and if there is even place for a GT2 is…. This is all done with the facelift of the 911, internally as 991.2 by the life will go. The British think they know that this in the autumn, it is proposed, if not entirely coincidentally, also the IAA in Frankfurt takes place.

GT3 as the last bastion

Only one type of 911 seems to be the dance to emerge, the GT3 (RS). This would earlier rumors about supercharging for the new GT3 RS to contradict. As expected.

If this scenario is indeed true, then we predict that turbolading phase 1 is. Phase 2 will be around 2019 in force, and perhaps with even smaller engines, and in addition, help of hybrid systems. Purists will out loud ‘NEIN’ to cry out, but I would like to try a 911 with torque everywhere, even in the pieces where the turbo is still not opgespoeld.

There will be no ceremony take place around the to the earth order of the (no longer) free and breathable boxer. People who still want to come to under consumption of coffee and cake and memories to retrieve, this will on its own initiative, should do. Flowers, poems, in memoriams and anecdotes you can use to Zuffenhausen send.
