I might be a marketing man's dream, but after watching that i've gone from thinking it looked OK to absolutely loving it.

...even the wheels.

Cheers Sundeep. I'm sending the link to my pal. With a new job offer on the table, me thinks he will be selling his sad old 996 turbo :twisted:

Someone may be cancelling their BMW order ...

BTW Great video and yes, love the wheels .. Only 480 bhp? When do we think the 520bhp and dsg gearbox will come?

Ok - still no idea what overboost is and why does it increase torque from 620 Nm to 680 Nm?

change in the bar pressure in the turbo

increases the torque from 457 lbs/ft to 501lbs/ft.. which clearly suggest the engine is rather (and dare I say it) detuned, S model no doubt already planned

this car will be a modders dream !

no doubt this is an epic car, but if I had the money, I'll still get a 2wd 997 GT3

design looks too fussy !
