Dropping active suspension to save on weight.. hummmm.. what do you think?
Autoweek story here
Expect to see the hairy-chested GT3 version of the latest Porsche 911 Carrera this November. Spied here is an undisguised prototype caught during high-speed testing at the Nürburgring. As did the old car, the latest GT3 stands out from its Carrera siblings with an aggressive fixed rear wing.
It will also use a super-low front spoiler and, as rumors suggest, a center-exit exhaust à la Boxster. Porsche has massaged the Carrera S’s 3.8-liter flat-six engine to 400 hp, 20 more than the outgoing car.
The boost should be good for a 0-to-60-mph time of four seconds flat. In the name of weight-savings, Porsche has dumped the active suspension system in favor of a revised sport setup.
