If you could ask Porsche to build your perfect 911..
Discussion
Hmmm 996.2 C4S body with magnesium roof and carbon bonnet, wings etc like a 991 R coupled to 997 GT3 RS4.0 engine, transmission and suspension. Inside largely black leather and alcantara but with dark red Recaro SPGs. No rear seats.
ETA: After some further thought on the details:
- Litronic headlights as the standard headlights suck
- Cruise control
- Modern single DIN head unit
- Not sure on wheels though. Perhaps some BBS split rims?
- Keep the aircon etc
- No some sunroof
- PSE
- PCCB if they're any good
- Rear cage and harnesses for track days

They have built them 997SC too expensive , 991R but you can't buy one !
Aside from those I would have like to have seen a manual 997.2 with buckets on nice passive sports suspension a bit of carbon ie funk some weight loss and a tuned peaky 3.6 to say 375hp ! They could have called it a Club sport!

I specifically left that out because I really can't decide. I would possibly go PDK-S in a 4-seater targa, but then I would miss a proper sorted manual shift on the odd occasion. Sod it, PDK. Done. Build me a 500hp RS-engined automatic Targa please Mr GT dept.
Pretty much the same theory...Targa shell but with manual roof . Take all the roof mech out and replace with simple a lift out Carbon panel , 2 wheel drive , 4.0 RS , Manual . Approx 80bhp more than targa GTS and 300kg lighter .

flat 4 DOHC air-cooled 2.0L (or new cayman engine) 950kg /250bHP @ 8500. 47% front 53% rear
double wish bone front (959 suspension) multi link rear (since 993)
Basically a new version of 912, lightweight, balance and good power-weight ratio. Which is almost the new Cayman, just need to turn the power-train the other way around and drop some weight.

A 996 C4S with a Mezger (any would do) & converted to RWD with a bit more weight loss would keep me happy I suspect.
So, a 996 GT3? Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
