From the Austrialian config page.
"Power upgrade to 316 kW (430 hp). Includes modified cylinder heads, new camshaft, newly developed variable resonance intake manifold with six plus one switchable valves, centre radiator, sports exhaust system with specially designed twin dual-tube tailpipes (order no. 176), sport chrono package incl. dynamic engine mounts (order no. 639/640), optimised engine electronics and painted engine cover with carbon fiber emblem".
Looks like it will be around £12k-14k

Carl_Docklands said: with carbon fiber emblem". Ha ha. Reminds me of Blackadder's catskin windcheater. This is finest leather-trimmed ermine with gold medallion accessories. Mr. Frisky. If found, please return to Emma Hamilton, Marine Parade, Portsmouth. Etc Anyway, sounds like it should be a nice earner for Porsche.

I reckon the gold tailpipes will match well with Lime Gold.
No doubt to be seen driven around Hong Kong soon.

Was hoping for around a cost of 10k, which is 7k or so as PSE and sports chrono is already ticked.......My cars in for a July build so will probably miss it anyway

Not sure I'd expect a retrofit option from Porsche. Seen one car that apparently had X52 fitted. Might be worth asking OPC when they can take an order.

sofaking said: There's probably a lot more to a GT3 than a 991 + X52. Definitely true. Not only will it handle even better, it'll be a lot less refined (lack of sound deadening for weight loss). 991 + X52 = GTS, not GT3. And I think Tony realises that already.

Yes I do however, not sure at my age I need harder suspension and lack of sound insulation.

Sure, it is no GT3. We need to consider that the standard 991S with all the toys seems to be as quick as Gen1 997 GT3, maybe this power-kit could give it as much shove as an RS with your luggage boxes on the roof and kids in the back

So now we know how much power gen 2 991 will have. Will be interesting to see if torque figure is improved.

so now the 991 becomes interesting with a healthy increase of power over a 7gts! new 991 gt3=991s+x52+20bhp-50kg=£110k

wonder what the actual tolerance for power output is for a standard 991 3.8 . . . . . . +/- 5% = 20hp?

that's going to move it a long at a silly rate, I guess outdragging GT3's no problem now in a PDK car.
