Lovely RSR photos just shown. Is it true that the RSR and Cup car will usethe old Mezger engine and not the new DFI motor?
[Grimacing] "I know where the photos were taken and I don't know how they did it. We want to participate next year [the next day Manthey were announced as running factory 991 RSRs at Le Mans 2013] and, yes, the RSR and Cup will use the old engine. It is very reliable and strong and it does a good job and in the Cup it will be 3.8 litres. It was an easy decision."
Dont worry it will still be on the RSR and cup will still use the Mezger engines. Good news for us 996/997 turbo owners i suppose. Makes it slightly more collectable
Mezgers in the RSR's and Cup's eh.
"It is very reliable and strong and it does a good job and in the Cup it will be 3.8 litres. It was an easy decision."
What does this say about the 3.8 DFI then?
What next, a traditional steering/rack system for the RSR/Cups perhaps?
PDK?......think again.
What does the new GT3 actually weight.......I heard 1450/1465?
